Case Study: BuildGroup eliminates financial blind spots with Clearstory

BuildGroup Removes Financial Blindspots with Extracker

BuildGroup, a San Francisco-based commercial general contractor with 550+ employees, was growing quickly but struggled to maintain clear visibility into project financials. The company was collecting subcontractor change order requests by email and manually uploading them into Procore, making forecasting slow, error-prone, and vulnerable to missed costs or overruns.

Using Clearstory’s Extracker change order platform, BuildGroup digitized and automated change order communication and integrated it with Procore to sync subcontractor CORs in real time. Clearstory helped reduce processing time by 65%, save thousands of hours through digital workflows, and give teams instant access to subcontractor COR logs, enabling them to catch forecast risks earlier and identify multiple six-figure discrepancies before they became issues.
