ScopeGuard
How it works

From approved scope to documented change order.

ScopeGuard doesn't replace your process — it adds a consistent check between what was approved and what's actually happening on the job.

Step 01

Add the approved scope

Upload the estimate, contract, or original project details.

Add the documents you already use to sell and start the job — no new format to learn, no re-typing your estimate line by line.

Step 02

Capture project updates

Collect customer messages, crew notes, photos, and jobsite updates.

Forward texts and emails, drop in a quick voice note from the truck, or snap a jobsite photo. Updates get logged as they happen instead of getting lost.

Step 03

Review potential changes

ScopeGuard compares new information against the approved scope and flags possible additional work.

When something looks like it falls outside the original scope — a new request, a material upgrade, an unexpected site condition — you get an alert to review, not a decision made for you.

Step 04

Prepare the change order

Review the alert, adjust the pricing, and create a professional change-order draft for customer approval.

You set the price and edit the language. ScopeGuard prepares the draft; you decide what goes out and when.

You stay in control at every step — reviewing alerts, adjusting pricing, and approving change orders before anything goes out.

What ScopeGuard looks for

The moments that usually turn into unpaid work.

ScopeGuard watches for the specific signals that tend to precede a missed change order.

Added customer requests

A new ask that comes in by call, text, or in person on the jobsite.

Additional labor

Extra hours or trips that go beyond what the scope accounted for.

Material upgrades

A switch to a different product, finish, or grade than what was quoted.

Quantity changes

More square footage, more units, or more rooms than originally scoped.

Unexpected site conditions

Issues found once work starts — like damage or code problems — that add work.

Tasks not listed in the scope

Work mentioned in conversation but never written into the estimate.

Customer-requested revisions

Changes to a decision that was already made and priced.

Details that need clarification

Vague or conflicting information worth confirming before work continues.

A note on how this works

Built to work with the tools you already use.

ScopeGuard is designed to sit alongside your existing estimating and communication tools rather than force a new system on your team. You share what you already have — estimates, contracts, texts, photos, and voice notes — and ScopeGuard organizes the comparison.
