Clearstory

““We've had GCs tell us they wish everyone was using Clearstory. When they see how organized we are and how easy it is to review tickets and track CORs, they remember that. It puts us in a different league.””

““Clearstory makes you look like the pro you are. It protects your relationships, your revenue, and your time.””

““Clearstory is a platform that scales with your projects. Whether it's a historic renovation or a new build, we've seen firsthand how it saves time, minimizes Change Order risk, and keeps every stakeholder on track.””

““I can't imagine there'd be something out there that would be easier or better than what Clearstory has been for us so far. The time savings is ten-fold.””

““Using Clearstory gives us the ability to be much more confident that we are actively tracking costs and there won't be any surprises.””

““Every project should use Clearstory because it makes your life easier and makes Change Order processing faster. It's a no-brainer.””

““We are always looking for new technologies to make us better builders, better managers, and make the process better in some way.””

““Clearstory has cut the time down from field work to a priced Change Order Request by at least 50%. It's simple to use, and everything's in one place.””

““It speeds up everything. The GCs get everything faster, approvals happen faster, and we get paid faster.””

““I haven't missed money since we got Clearstory. There's not a Change Order out there I've asked for that we have not received in full in the last year.””

““Clearstory eliminated a ton of steps, and we're getting paid for work that would have slipped through the cracks with paper tickets and manual COR workflows.””

““Clearstory has reduced the time our field teams devoted to T&M and Change Orders from three days a week down to 30 minutes. That right there is enough justification for my company to use it.””

““The work at hand might be a $2,000 T&M slip. With Clearstory you can have that conversation and align right away. You don't end up waiting until you have a $200,000 problem.””

““I'd be more than confident implementing Clearstory from day one and pretty much getting rid of my spreadsheets entirely.””

““For Suffolk, Clearstory has allowed us to manage our risk and our exposure across our portfolio in an entirely new way.””

““I was actually on our first project that used Clearstory from start to finish,” he says. “And now we employ it on every single one of our jobs. We don't have a job that does not use Clearstory.””

““One of the great things about Clearstory is its simplicity,” he says. “Our subcontractors really appreciate that the goal of Clearstory is to create transparency and improve the financial health of all stakeholders on our projects. At the end of the day, that Change Order transparency between us just helps everybody out.””

““It’s helped unleash our detail-oriented and design-based mentality to help bring those projects to life and align on the best approach to get a project completed,” DeLonzor says.”

““It’s 100% more efficient to eliminate the madness associated with paper shuffling, but being able to make decisions on a jobsite based on better forecasts provides a financial gain, too.” DeLonzor says. “Being able to quantify where I might have dollars available to adjust or accelerate a schedule here or there makes a real impact on a job, and gives our upper management the confidence that we're tracking things on site effectively.””

““You know, we had our methods of tracking change orders, subcontractors had their methods of tracking change orders, and there could be a disconnect between what was happening in the field and what offices were communicating to each other,” he says. “And it’s essentially impossible to track everything when you don’t have that communication.””

““Having a platform where everything is in one place for Change Orders helps my own mental sanity. It saves time, and there’s a tangible financial gain when we can make better decisions by having all Change Orders accounted for.””

““We were transitioning to a more uniform, transparent model where project managers would control more of the cost management for our projects,” says WEST Senior Project Engineer Derik DeLonzor. “So we wanted to give the PMs tools to contain risk and communicate the financial health of our projects with subcontractors and owners, and Clearstory really helped us accomplish that.””

““A lot of tools don’t move the needle enough. They promise a lot, but they don’t deliver. Clearstory is one of those tools that is delivering, and we expect it to continue to deliver for us.””

““When we see both our self-perform groups and our GC side growing with a technology, we see double the benefit, and where there’s value for our trade partners it’s easier to get them to adopt as well,””

““It’s the ability to just jump onto Clearstory, to see what's there at a glance quickly and to know that we have one place, one repository, one source of truth that we can all go to and be confident that we’re seeing the latest and greatest information.””
