What Makes a Good Change Order Template?

A good change order template saves you time on every job while ensuring nothing important gets missed. Here's what to look for:

Pre-Built Project & Client Fields

A good template pre-fills project name, address, and client info so you never start from a blank page.

Saved Rate Card for Line Items

Your most common items with descriptions and default prices — tap to add instead of typing from scratch every time.

Schedule Impact Section

Does the extra work delay the project? A professional template includes a place to document timeline changes.

Built-In Signature Capture

No printing, no scanning. The template should allow on-site or remote e-signatures with legal proof.

Photo Documentation Slots

Attach before/after photos directly to the change order — automatically GPS-stamped with address and timestamp.

Instant PDF Output

One tap turns your completed template into a polished PDF with your company logo, ready to email or print.

MyChangeOrder is a dynamic change order template that includes all of these — plus GPS-stamped photos, saved rate cards, budget tracking, and remote e-signatures.
