From instruction to reviewed change record

The module treats SWIs and SVOs as first-class commercial records instead of loose email threads.

Create the SWI or SVO

Capture number, title, description, company, status, dates and commercial references.

Review commercial value

Use original amount fields, audited amount fields, adjustments and BoQ entry options where applicable.

Keep evidence and discussion

Store attachments and conversation entries directly on the SWI or SVO record.

Why change records need commercial structure

Change order records are easier to assess when instruction details, value review and evidence stay in the same object.

Separate SWIs and SVOs

The implementation keeps Site Work Instructions and Site Variation Orders in separate records and status settings.

Review original and audited values

Change records can hold submitted values and audited values for commercial assessment.

Tie changes back to scope

Contract and BoQ references help connect a change record back to the commercial baseline.

Changes connect to contracts, invoices and notices

SWIs and SVOs live inside the same commercial management area as contracts, invoices and notices.

Control SWIs and SVOs as records, not scattered messages.

ArchiMesh connects change order management with contracts, invoices, notices, BoQs, attachments and project search.
