What's in it

Seven places change-order money leaks out — from the verbal "go-ahead" to the change that cascades into rework you never billed. 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.
  • The small changes nobody priced — adds too small to bill, eating 3–4% of profit.
  • The running total you never showed — the CO that's missing old + new contract price.
  • The change you priced at cost — extra work carrying no markup, overhead, or contingency.
  • The change you financed — work done now, billed later, your cash floating the owner.
  • The sub's "extra" you'll eat — extra work no signed CO ever came up to you for.
  • The change that cascaded — downstream rework the CO never captured.

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.
