Written direction
A change order, a construction change directive, or a not-to-exceed authorization before or during the work. Without one, the work can get called part of your scope at closeout.

EXTRA WORK
THAT ACTUALLY GETS PAID.
Most unbilled extra work gets lost between the field and the office. We capture signed tickets as the work happens, price each change with real backup, and keep after it until it's an executed change order on your pay app.
WHAT GCS EXPECT
HOW CHANGES
GET PAID.
Change orders get paid when the paperwork is fast, signed and complete. Here's what that means on a commercial job.
Tickets signed daily
T&M tickets with crew names, hours, materials and equipment, signed the same day by someone authorized to sign. Not collected at the end of the week.
Notice on time
Many subcontracts require written notice of a change within a set number of days. Miss the window and the claim can be waived.
A priced request with backup
Labor by trade and hours, material invoices, equipment, the markups in your subcontract, and any schedule impact.
One number per change
Each change gets its own ID that ties the tickets, pricing, approvals and billing together.
Billed when approved
Approved changes go on the next pay app. Not in a stack at closeout, when nobody remembers the details.
FIELD-TICKET CAPTURE
FROM THE FIELD
TO YOUR PAY APP.
No new app for your crew. A paper ticket and a phone camera are enough.
01
TICKET IN THE FIELD
Your foreman fills out our simple T&M ticket and gets it signed on site, that day.
02
TEXT US A PHOTO
One photo to one Simolia address. Logged within one business day with a change number.
03
NOTICE AND PRICING
We draft the notice letter and the change order request with labor, material, equipment and markup backup.
04
CHASE THE SIGNATURE
Every open change sits on a log with its age. Your PM gets a weekly list of what's unsigned or unpriced.
05
BILL IT
Executed changes go on your next pay app as their own line.
