Concrete Change Order Form
Concrete scope changes often come from subgrade problems, thickness or reinforcement changes, sawcut and removal changes, weather, cure timing, access, or pump and truck issues. Every trade has scope drift. StackQuotes turns it into a documented approval path.
When to use this
Use this form when concrete work changes after demo, excavation, form layout, subgrade review, or pour scheduling.
It helps document why the concrete scope changed, what price or cure timing changed, and what approval is required.
What to document
- Pour area, slab or footing dimensions, original concrete scope, and changed condition.
- Subgrade, reinforcement, thickness, sawcut, removal, access, pump, or truck notes.
- Labor, material, equipment, disposal, weather, cure, and schedule impact.
- Customer approval action before changed concrete work is performed.

StackQuotes bridge
Templates help you write the request. StackQuotes helps you keep the approval record tied to the job.
StackQuotes connects the request, pricing basis, customer action, and job record so the change does not live only in texts, photos, or a final invoice.

Use StackQuotes when the trade change needs to stay connected to the quote, scope, approval action, and job record.
How to use this
Document subgrade photos, dimensions, and access limits before changing the concrete scope.
Call out weather, cure timing, pump, or truck constraints that affect schedule.
Keep the approved concrete change with the quote, pour notes, pricing, and final job record.
Approval boundary
Templates help you write the request. StackQuotes helps you keep the approval record tied to the job.
A draft, conversation, estimate, diagnostic note, selection, or field photo is not the same as customer approval. Treat the change as approved only after the customer takes the approval action requested in the record.

Common mistakes
- Changing thickness or reinforcement without a written price impact.
- Leaving pump or truck access out until the day of the pour.
- Ignoring weather and cure timing in the schedule note.
- Treating subgrade correction as included without documenting the condition.
