Simplify Project Changes with Powerful Variations Management
Managing changes during a home build can be one of the biggest challenges for construction companies. But with our built-in Variations Management system, you can say goodbye to the chaos and confusion that often comes with change orders.
What Are Variations?
In construction, a variation is any change to the originally agreed scope of work — from upgrading kitchen finishes to adding an extra window or changing roof materials. These requests can come at any time during a project and, if not handled correctly, can throw timelines, budgets, and client relationships into disarray.
Why Variations Matter for Builders
Home builders face dozens of variation requests per project — and managing these manually is a recipe for trouble:
Verbal approvals get forgotten
Email chains go missing
Costs don’t get captured properly
Disputes arise when expectations don’t match reality
It only takes one poorly documented change to create a costly mistake. That’s where our Variations feature steps in.

Log every change in one place — so you always have a full record.
