For small GCs & remodelers — on the Microsoft 365 you already pay for

Every job changes. Get paid for the change.

Most contractors don't have a margin problem. They have an office problem — the extra work got done, but it never became a signed, billed change order. This free checklist shows you the 7 places that money walks out, each with a 60-second check you can run against your last finished job.

What's in it

Seven places change-order money leaks out — from the verbal "go-ahead" to the open COs still sitting at closeout. Each one comes with a 60-second check against your last job:

  • The verbal "go-ahead" — work your crew did that never became a signed CO.
  • Scope creep with no trigger — the small adds that never get priced.
  • T&M tickets nobody signed — work you can't bill because you can't prove it.
  • COs priced at cost — extra work carrying no markup or overhead.
  • The notice deadline you missed — the written-notice window in your contract.
  • No backup, no leverage — a CO with no photos, tickets, or approval trail.
  • Open COs at closeout — money that quietly never gets collected.

Who it's for

The 1-to-50-person general contractor or remodeler who's tired of doing extra work that never makes it onto an invoice. If "just throw in this one thing" sounds familiar, this is the fastest money on your desk — because you already earned it.

Not legal advice — the checklist tells you what to confirm with your attorney, it doesn't replace one.
