Our story

Built from 25 years of managing change orders.

Randy Baugh founded CO-Ver to align every party on change orders before anyone has leverage.

1

25 years on the owner’s side

Randy spent over 25 years in commercial real estate development, managing change orders with GCs and other stakeholders.

2

What made change orders hard

Manual effort, little insight into pricing, and most change orders arrived when one party had leverage over the other.

3

Alignment from day one

His idea: agree on how change orders are priced at the start of the project, while every party is on equal ground.

CO-Ver levels the playing field

Owners and developers get the insights and intelligence based on facts to decide clearly, and every stakeholder sees the same facts.

“We are a flashlight, not a hammer.”

CO-Ver isn’t a tool for one side to use against the other. It brings the facts into view so owners and contractors can resolve change orders fairly and keep the project moving.

CO-Ver shows what a change order should cost. The decision stays with the owner.

What CO-Ver became

A neutral, third-party platform written into the contract at bidding, so fair change orders are approved fast.

“You can change your own oil, but do you really want to? You can verify your own change orders, but do you really want to?”
Randy Baugh, Founder
