Built for remodelers and small general contractors who lose money the same way every time: a change gets done on a handshake, an allowance quietly runs over, and the argument happens at the final invoice. Six forms cover the whole sequence (notice, change order, T&M authorization, daily ticket, allowance schedule, reconciliation), a client handout explains it in plain language, and three letters handle the transmittal, the selection reminder and the overage notice.

The workbook logs each change order with its five cost lines and applies your overhead-and-profit and tax settings; only approved rows move the contract sum. Allowances move from Open to Due soon, Overdue, Selected and Reconciled as dates and costs go in. The Dashboard shows approved and pending dollars, average days to a decision against your target, change orders by origin, allowance drift and jobs ranked by change-order percentage. Written to the standard several states require for home improvement work: in writing, signed by both parties, before the work.
