Automated Drywall Change Order Drafts

When a scope change lands, WebRun opens The EDGE, prices the added or removed drywall work with your rates, drafts a change order document for signature in DocuSign, and drafts a cover email to the general contractor in Gmail, holding both for your review before anything is sent or routed for signing.

In short

How do I price and draft a drywall change order for approval?

When a scope change comes in, WebRun takes off the added drywall work in The EDGE, applies your Smart Labor, material rates, and markup, and prepares a change order draft in DocuSign. It also drafts the cover email in Gmail. Both are held for review, so nothing is sent or routed to sign without your approval.

  • Scope changes get priced the day they arrive, not weeks later
  • Change orders use your own rates and markup every time
  • Nothing is sent or routed to sign until you approve it

Questions, answered

Will it send the change order for signature on its own?

No. WebRun prepares the change order in DocuSign as a draft and drafts the cover email in Gmail, both held for review. It never routes a document for signature or emails the contractor until you approve the price and send it.

How is the change priced?

WebRun takes off the changed scope in The EDGE and applies your own Smart Labor and material rates plus your markup. The pricing uses your rate tables, so the number reflects how your company estimates, not a generic guess.

Can I edit the amount before it goes out?

Yes. Everything is a draft. You review the priced change order in DocuSign and the email in Gmail, adjust the amount or wording, then send and route for signature yourself when you are satisfied.
