Concrete change order, before the truck is called.

Once concrete is in the forms, nothing changes. So the change order happens at excavation: the apron is soft clay, the owner wants rebar after reading about cracks, and the stamped walk got cut for budget. Price it, sign it, then order the yards.

What this template covers

  • Excavation by the cubic yard and base by the ton, the units your supplier and hauler bill you in
  • Reinforcement changes priced across the slab by the sq ft
  • A finish downgrade as a credit, so the owner sees what the budget cut saved
  • A per-yard price for overage, agreed before the truck shows up short
  • Weather limits on the pour date, and when the car can go back on it

Doing it in Redline

Send the chat a photo of the apron with your probe stuck in it and "change order for Fitzpatrick: 6 yards dig-out at $65, 9 ton gravel at $48, rebar 640 sq ft at $0.85." It builds the added work as a quote on his file and can draft the email explaining why the apron has to be dug out, sent from your Gmail when you approve it. Keep the stamped-walk credit on this form.

Pour days move with the weather. "Push the Fitzpatrick pour to Tuesday 7am" moves it on the calendar, and Optimize can suggest moves for the rest of the week, grouped by town, that you apply if they work. When the slab's in, invoice it by chat with a card pay link on Solo ($29 a month). The concrete estimate app page covers how the original quote got built, and the concrete invoice template covers the final bill.

Settle it before the pour.

Redline is free to start. The change goes on his file by chat, and the pour date moves with one line.
