How ProBlu Captures Change Orders From Field Texts

Change orders are hard to manage because the first evidence often starts in the field: a superintendent gives direction, a foreman notices changed scope, or a crew burns labor before the office has a clean record. If that detail stays in scattered texts, photos, or memory, the request is harder to price and defend later.

ProBlu is built around a simpler handoff. Crews text what changed while the details are fresh, and the office gets a more organized workspace for scope, backup, pricing, PDF output, and approval activity.

What The Field Captures

• Scope: What changed, where it happened, and who directed or observed it.
• Labor: Crew members, hours, and the work tied to the change.
• Materials and equipment: Items used or expected, with quantities where possible.
• Photos and files: Backup from the job site attached while the context is still clear.

What The Office Reviews

The office should not have to rebuild the story from a group text. In ProBlu, project teams can review the change, adjust pricing details, organize attachments, generate a PDF packet, and track approval activity from one change-order workspace.

Why The Record Matters

A change order is not just a price request. It is the record that explains why scope changed, what the cost impact was, and how approval was handled. Strong documentation makes billing conversations easier and reduces the risk of extra work turning into a write-off.

How ProBlu Supports The Workflow

• Field capture starts with simple text messages and photo attachments.
• Office users review scope, labor, materials, and supporting backup before sending.
• Change orders can be generated as PDFs for review and project records.
• Approval activity can be tracked through SMS, email, and manual updates.
