Why This Matters
Change orders are a fact of life in contracting. Processing them correctly keeps your projects on budget, your financing in sync, and your customers informed about any scope changes.
What You'll Need
Admin access to SubcontractorHub
A web browser (Chrome or Edge recommended)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1
Scroll down in your proposal to find your finance card.
Step 2
Click“Unfinalize”.
Step 3
The button changes back to white, indicating the proposal has been unfinalized and is ready for a system design change order.
Step 4
Scroll back up to make your design updates. You can also change the pricing by adjusting other proposal elements such as adders and battery storage.
Step 5
Post the completion of your updates, scroll back down to your finance card and click“Finalize”.
Step 6
The button will turn back to yellow indicating the change order has been accepted.
Real-World Example
💡 When a customer adds a battery to their solar project mid-install, the project manager creates a change order that automatically updates the financing — keeping everything in sync without manual calculations.
