Protect Your Projects
From Excess Costs and Delays
Change orders add 33% to project costs and 66% to schedules. Vertrage reviews every change order to catch invalid claims before they compound.
Request a DemoChange orders are hurting projects. Much of the damage is avoidable.
Contractors submit change orders. Owners can't keep up. Costs slip through and delays pile up.
A quarter of change orders are caused by contract misinterpretation, spurious claims, breach of contract, and fraud. But catching these with review across thousands of pages of contracts and schedules is humanly impossible.

Industries We Serve
For the Projects That Power Modern Life
Energy & Utilities
From generation facilities to transmission infrastructure, energy is where Vertrage runs deepest. Beyond change order review, we help utilities find savings in how they schedule and operate their generation fleet, turning operational complexity into measurable cost reductions.
Data Centers
Hyperscale builds move fast and the change orders follow. Vertrage keeps pace, reviewing claims against aggressive timelines and specialized equipment rates that define this sector.
Transportation
Highways, rail, airports, and transit systems. Public infrastructure faces intense scrutiny on every dollar spent, and change orders account for a disproportionate share of budget overruns.
Hospitals & Healthcare
Healthcare facilities combine structural complexity with strict regulatory requirements. Change orders on these projects demand review that accounts for compliance, infection control, and operational continuity.
