Practical knowledge for specialty contractors
Compliance, change management, project controls, and the data discipline that compounds across bids. Written for California specialty subs — owners, PMs, estimators, and the field.
PCO vs CO — proposal versus executed change
A PCO is your priced ask. A CO is the executed contract amendment. Until the CO is signed, the work isn't billable on a pay app.
RFI vs Change Event — when to file which
An RFI asks a question. A Change Event records an impact. Treating them the same is how recovery slips through the cracks.
T&M tag — why the owner signature is everything
What a T&M tag is, what makes it legally enforceable, and what STrOp does when the signature is missing.
Turn a signed T&M tag into a change order
Walk a signed T&M ticket through change event, priced PCO, and executed CO in the Changes tab, so the contract value and the SOV move together and the chain holds up.
