The client changed the kitchen on a Tuesday and I knew by 14:15. Before, I'd have found out at the walkthrough.
Global construction losses to bad data and rework this year:
Catch every change before it costs you.
Talona connects WhatsApp and SMS groups. Photos and voice notes. Email, drawings and meeting notes. Site cameras and the software you already use., so the office knows what the field knows.

- Mark says the U3 kitchen wall moved 2 ft so the larger fridge fits.
- A-201 Rev D shows the move, but there is no change order or client sign-off yet.

My crews didn't change a thing. They text the group like always, and the record builds itself.

Owner, LINTEL
We billed three change orders last month that would have been free work a year ago.

When the backcharge argument started, I had the photo, the time and who sent it.

Nadia Brooks
Site Superintendent, ORBITAL
I ask what's open on floor two and get an answer with the messages behind it.

It understands the drywall crew's Spanish voice notes. I don't.

Felix Grant
Owner, Kestrel
Nothing to install was the whole reason we tried it.

“Done” finally means done. It stays claimed until I check it.

I stopped writing the daily email. The group already says what happened.

Lucia Ferrante
Project Manager, meridian
It caught a sub saying the extra outlets weren't in his contract. That's a change order.
trestle
Iris Calloway
Superintendent, trestle
It stays quiet in the group. The only time it speaks up is when money is involved.

The amounts and days people mention end up in the record, so pricing a change takes minutes.

Our office hears about field changes the same day now.
