Procore Superintendent Change Order Management Flashcards

In Procore, who typically has authority to approve a Prime Contract Change Order (PCCO)?

Answer: The owner or owner's authorized representative

Prime Contract Change Orders modify the value of the prime contract and therefore require approval from the owner or their authorized representative.

What Procore feature allows a superintendent to formally request pricing from subcontractors when evaluating the cost of a potential change?

Answer: Request for Quote (RFQ) within the PCO or Change Event

Procore's change management module allows RFQs to be sent directly to subcontractors from within a PCO or Change Event to formally gather pricing.

When an owner issues a Change Directive requiring the superintendent to proceed with work before pricing is agreed upon, what is the best practice in Procore?

Answer: Document the directive as a PCO and track actual costs using time and materials (T&M) methods

A Change Directive requires proceeding with work; documenting it as a PCO with T&M cost tracking protects the contractor's entitlement to full compensation.

In Procore's change management module, what does the term 'markup' refer to when building a change order estimate?

Answer: The percentage added to direct costs for overhead and profit

In Procore change orders, markup is the percentage added on top of direct labor, material, and equipment costs to cover overhead and profit.

A superintendent needs to formally adjust a subcontractor's scope and cost because of an owner-directed addition. Which Procore document type should be created?

Answer: Commitment Change Order (CCO)

A Commitment Change Order (CCO) is the Procore document used to formally modify a subcontract or purchase order when scope or cost changes occur.

What is the purpose of linking a PCO to a specific cost code in Procore?

Answer: To track the financial impact of the change against the correct budget line item

Linking a PCO to a cost code ensures the financial impact of the change is tracked against the correct budget category, enabling accurate cost reporting and forecasting.

In Procore, which change order status indicates the change has been fully executed by all parties and the contract value has been officially updated?
