Flooring Change Order Software
FloorStrategy gives flooring contractors and retailers a formal way to capture every mid-job scope change — what changed, what it costs, and whether it's billed to the client or absorbed by the business — tied directly to the job and your margin reporting.
Scope changes happen on almost every job. A client wants to add a bathroom. A subfloor turns out worse than expected. An installer damages a piece of trim. Someone asks for an upgrade on-site, it gets a verbal yes, and the crew keeps working. Without a formal process, none of that ever makes it back to the invoice — it just becomes a cost the business quietly absorbs.
This is one of the most common ways flooring businesses lose margin, and it's almost never intentional. It's not that anyone decided to eat the cost — it's that nobody wrote it down, priced it, and decided. By the time the job closes, the extra material and labor are just gone, buried in a final number nobody can fully explain.
FloorStrategy's change order module fixes that by making the decision explicit, every time — captured, priced consistently, and tied to the job it happened on.
Every mid-job scope change gets logged formally — what changed, why (Estimating Error, Manufacturer Claim, Damaged by Installer, or Client Approved Change), and what it costs. Each change order ties directly back to the original job, so it never lives as a disconnected note in a text thread or a sticky note on a truck dashboard.
Every change order forces an explicit choice: bill the client or absorb the cost. There's no silent middle ground where extra work just happens and never gets reflected anywhere. If you choose to absorb a cost, it's still tracked — so you can see exactly what you're eating instead of losing it in the noise of a finished job.
Enter the cost and your target margin percentage, and FloorStrategy calculates the sold amount automatically — using the same pricing formula as your original bid. Change orders stop being priced inconsistently depending on who's filling out the form on a given day.
Send a private link to your crew and let them log real field expenses — amount, supplier, and a photo of the receipt — directly against a change order, no account required. If actual field costs run over what was billed, that overage shows up in your margin numbers automatically, not when you're already writing the invoice.
Why FloorStrategy
Every scope change gets captured and priced before the work is forgotten — not reconstructed from memory at invoicing.
Reason codes on every change order mean you can see whether it was an estimating miss, a manufacturer claim, installer damage, or a client request.
Mark a change order "Damaged by Installer" and assign the installer responsible — it stays on record, tied to that job.
Enter cost and target margin — the sold amount calculates automatically, using the same formula as your original pricing.
A private link lets your crew log actual receipts from the field, so you're working from real numbers, not guesses.
No standalone change order list disconnected from the work — every entry lives on the job record it belongs to.
Draft → Sent → Approved → Complete. Every change order has a clear status, so nothing sits in limbo.
FloorStrategy speaks flooring — sqft, material overages, installer crews, go-backs. No configuring a generic tool to fit your workflow.
"We did extra work on a job and never got paid for it"
FloorStrategy's change order module captures every scope change formally, before the work gets forgotten — and forces a real bill-or-absorb decision.
"I don't know why this job's margin came in lower than we bid"
Every change order carries a reason — estimating error, manufacturer claim, installer damage, or client-approved change — so margin slippage has an answer, not just a number.
"An installer damaged the floor and it just became a cost we ate"
Mark the change order "Damaged by Installer" and assign the installer responsible. It stays on record instead of disappearing into overhead.
"Every change order gets priced differently depending on who fills it out"
Enter the cost and target margin — FloorStrategy calculates the sold amount automatically, the same way every time.
"We don't find out about extra material costs until the invoice is already out the door"
Send your crew a private link to log real field expenses as they happen — overages show up in your margin numbers immediately, not after the fact.
"Change orders live in a text thread, disconnected from the actual job"
Every change order is tied directly to the job record — visible from the project page, not scattered across texts and sticky notes.
The Process
Capture the description, reason, and cost while it's still fresh from the job site — tied directly to the project record.
Set a target margin percentage and the sold amount calculates automatically, or mark the cost absorbed if you're not billing it.
Draft → Sent → Approved → Complete — a clear status for every change order, so nothing sits ambiguous.
Send your crew a private link to log actual receipts — amount, supplier, and a photo — against the change order.
Approved change orders factor into the job's margin and your dashboard's Sold/Produced figures automatically.
FloorStrategy gives flooring contractors and retailers a real change order process — structured capture, consistent pricing, field expense tracking, and a clear bill-or-absorb decision on every job. Join flooring professionals already using FloorStrategy to protect the margin they actually earned.
