Right now, somewhere across your active jobs, there are change orders that were worked, written, and maybe even approved — but the money has stopped moving. Most GC owners can't tell you that number in 60 seconds. Not because they don't care. Because nobody built the system to surface it. We give you that number in 48 hours, using the CO log you already have.
Change orders get created. Work gets done. But somewhere between the field and the invoice, money disappears. Verbal approvals go undocumented. Signed COs never get billed. Billing drags out 60 days past approval.
This is not laziness. It is a system failure. And your current ERP is not built to stop it — it only records what happened after the damage is done.
Every dollar you lose on change orders falls into one of four buckets. MarginGuard monitors all of them and fires alerts to the right person the moment a CO enters each stage.
Every open change order. Every dollar at risk. Every person responsible. One view.
