A simple change order definition is that a change order is work that is either added or removed from the original scope of a project assigned by a contract that the contractor and client agreed to. Cloud-based document management adds additional visibility and accountability during a project. Ambiguous or inaccurate drawings.

Should documentation that is based on a coordinated 3D digital model be charged at a higher price than straight CAD-ed one is? They claim not to be, though the day-to-day results show otherwise, it is definitely not faster than if done by competent 3D modellers/documenters.

There is never enough time for designers to create a complete, well-coordinated set of documents that developers and builders can rely on. Not all the consultants work in 3D modeling, and most subcontractors are not fully BIM capable. How does technology help you overcome those challenges? We live in a very fast-paced environment.
