Plumbing change order for what's behind the wall.
You open the wall to run PEX and find the cast iron stack cracked from the last owner's settling. It has to be fixed while the wall's open. This form prices it, adds the extra openings it takes, and says who closes them up.

Doing it in Redline
Photo of the crack, then "change order for Okafor: 6 ft cast iron to PVC at $95, three openings at $120, main shutoff $245." Redline builds it as a quote on her file. If you're not sure what the stack section will cost at the supply house, ask the chat to look up current prices first. Web lookups use AI credits like everything else in the chat.
She signs this form on site since Redline doesn't take signatures. Snap the supply house receipt in Money, Expenses, file it to the Okafor job, and Reports shows what the repipe really made once the change is billed. Expenses and invoicing are on Solo, $29 a month. If you run trucks, the plumbing dispatch page shows how jobs get to the crew.
Price it while the wall is open.
Redline is free to start. Send the photo and the lines, and it's saved on her file.
