How to use this change order already included checker
A new charge can sound different while covering work that may already appear in the contract or a prior approved change. This tool looks for wording overlap so you know where to ask for clarification.
Use the result as a conversation starter
These homeowner tools organize the information already in your contract, selections, change orders, invoices, and closeout records. They are designed to surface missing information and questions before the next decision.
Save the supporting documents and confirm any contract-specific or jurisdiction-specific requirement directly with the appropriate professional. RenoTally does not decide whether a contractor charge is legally valid or whether a payment is legally required.
Keep the result connected to the running project total
Once an allowance overage, credit, approved change, or payment becomes real, add it to the same running project record. That keeps the free decision tools from becoming another disconnected spreadsheet or note.
