Sample Change Order Review
The following walkthrough uses demonstration data to illustrate what a ChangeGuard review report looks like. All project details, dollar amounts, and contractor names are fictional.
Scenario
Markup Verification — Demonstration
| Category | Claimed Rate | Contract Limit | Variance | Exposure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Labor burden | 38% | 32% | +6% | $2,100 |
| GC overhead | 12% | 10% | +2% | $900 |
| GC profit | 10% | 10% | — | $0 |
| Sub markup on sub | 15% | 10% | +5% | $1,800 |
All figures are demonstration data only. Total markup exposure in this example: $4,800.
Entitlement Assessment — Demonstration
The HVAC scope change arises from revised tenant programming issued post-tender. Section 12.3 of the demonstration contract covers owner-directed design changes. However, the contractor did not provide a written notice within the 10-day window required by Section 12.1. The late notice reduces but does not eliminate entitlement in this demonstration scenario.
Cross-Change Flags — Demonstration
- 🚩Supervisor time charge in CO-18 matches a charge in approved CO-14 — potential duplicate (demonstration)
- 🚩Equipment mobilization claimed in CO-18 and CO-16 — review for overlap (demonstration)
