05 / Small commercial GC
The crew is off the job. The change order is still unwritten.
The second job is the change order you still write at the table after the site is quiet. That night is the vacation you already paid for. Bid comparison, change-order tracking, and owner-update drafts for small commercial work. The agent prepares the paper. You send it.

The leak
Same 2018 PlanGrid and FMI data gap: people burn hours hunting for the current set and the last decision. On a small commercial job that shows up as a change order argued from memory. I will not pretend an agent replaces your PM.
First agent
Change-order tracker: open change events and requests, age, dollar figure already in Procore, and a draft owner note that quotes those figures and nothing else.
Bid comparison
Lines up the numbers you already entered. Flags missing scope lines. Does not pick a winner.
Change-order tracking
Status, age, amount. A Monday list. No silent status changes.
Owner communication draft
A weekly note in plain language. You edit and send. It does not email the owner on its own.
Stack
Procore projects, RFIs, submittals, daily logs, cost codes, change orders, invoices. Webhooks where the company allows them. Polling where they do not.
It will not
- Issue a change order.
- Talk to the owner without you.
- Recommend a bid award.
