Create a Subcontract Change Order

Modified: 18 Sep 2026 Trimble Pay Help

In order for your Subcontractor to request payment for work pertaining to a change order, the general contractor must add the change order to Trimble Pay.

These steps are for all change orders except deductive change orders related to contract close-out. If needed, see Issue a Deductive Change Order at Contract Close-out.
Important: These steps apply only if you are not using an integration with Trimble Pay and are creating change orders manually.
To add a change order:
  1. From your Dashboard, select the project and then select the applicable contract.
  2. In the top menu bar, select Change orders.
  3. Select Create change order +.
    The New change order window opens.
  4. Enter the display name and value.
  5. If you want to break out the change order into multiple line items in the contract's Schedule of Values:
    1. Select View and edit break out.
      A new window opens.
    2. Enter a description and an amount, and specify the amount is an addition.
    3. Select + Add row and repeat step b.
    4. When all SOV line items are accurately represented, select Save.
      You are returned to the prior window.
  6. Select Create change order.
    Trimble Pay creates a new line item in the contract's schedule of values.
Trimble Pay sends a notification to the Subcontractor's Project POC.
