The Change Order Revolution: Efficiency, Challenges, and Solutions

Change orders have long been a necessary evil plaguing every construction project, but they often cause mountains of paperwork, hours of lost productivity, and millions in lost revenue. Cameron Page, Founder & CEO at Clearstory, believes that change orders may not be going anywhere, but the chaos around them can be fixed.  

We sat down with Cameron in San Francisco to learn about his unconventional career journey, his perspective on innovation in the AEC space, advice to would-be founders, and how Clearstory is evolving the narrative around change orders. 

We discuss: 

• Common misconceptions with change orders 
• How innovation is affecting change order frequency 
• Types of change orders and where they go wrong 
• How better change order processes strengthen subcontractor relationships 
• The need for new approaches to change orders
