Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about COty — change order tracking software built for general contractors.
What is COty?
COty is cloud-based change order tracker software that helps general contractors manage change orders between subcontractors and owners. Track approvals, calculate markup, monitor margin at risk, and keep everything in one place.
Who is it built for?
Small to mid-size general contractors (5–50 employees) who currently track change orders in spreadsheets and need something better — without the cost and complexity of enterprise construction project management platforms.
Can subcontractors use it too?
Yes. GCs can invite subcontractors to submit their change orders directly through a sub portal. Subs can submit, attach backup documents, and track the status of their submissions.
How much does it cost?
Free to start with 1 project. Pro is $60/month for unlimited projects with full features. Team is $249/month for up to 5 users with shared projects.
Can I import my existing data?
Yes. Upload your existing Excel spreadsheet, map the columns, and import hundreds of change orders in seconds — a clean alternative to tracking change orders in a spreadsheet.
How is a COR different from a CCO?
A COR (change order request) is what the general contractor submits to the owner. A CCO (subcontractor change order) is what a subcontractor submits to the GC. COty links sub costs (CCOs) to the owner-facing COR so you can see markup and margin at risk on every change.
Do I need to install anything?
No. COty runs in the browser on any device — nothing to install. Your data is stored securely in the cloud and available to your whole team.
