Capture the extra scope
Photograph what you found and describe the additional work in a few words. Timestamp and location are logged automatically as your evidence record.
Scope change found mid-job? Photograph it, describe it, enter your cost. VarOrder produces a clear variation order, sends it to your client, and gets their signature while you're still on site. A verbal agreement holds up until the invoice arrives. A signed VO holds up in court.
A signed variation order before you move on to the next job.
Photograph what you found and describe the additional work in a few words. Timestamp and location are logged automatically as your evidence record.
Labour hours, rate, materials, and any allowances. VarOrder totals it and formats a clear line-item breakdown your client can read without a follow-up conversation.
Send a link. Your client opens it, reads the scope and cost, and signs electronically. Both parties get a timestamped PDF immediately, no chasing required.
A WhatsApp message saying "yeah go ahead" won't hold up when the invoice arrives. A timestamped electronic signature, with IP address, device record, and the exact scope and cost the client agreed to, will. VarOrder gives you that record automatically.
Labour, materials, and allowances itemised clearly so your client knows exactly what they're agreeing to. No surprises on the invoice.
Attach photos of the additional scope to the VO. If the work is queried later, the images are right there in the signed document.
Client signs, both parties get the signed VO as a PDF immediately. It goes to their inbox. You have your copy. The job is authorised before you leave.
All your VOs in one place, searchable by client, job, or date. Track outstanding sign-offs, see total additional revenue agreed this month, and export for invoicing or your accounts package.
The scope rarely matches the brief exactly. VarOrder gives you a clean paper trail every time it doesn't.
Scope changes happen constantly on site. Get it agreed and signed before the next phase starts, not after the invoice goes out.
Additional circuits, extra containment, remedial work found on EICR. Raise the VO on the spot, not at 9pm from memory.
Found a corroded manifold you weren't quoted for? Raise the variation before you start the additional work, not after.
Sub-contractor management across multiple sites. A variation log that tells you what was agreed, who authorised it, and when.
Keep your variation register current without chasing paperwork. Every VO raised by your contractors, in one place.
Gas, fire, refrigeration — any trade where additional work found on site needs a signed record before you proceed.
