Case Study: Mortenson Construction reduces change order risk with Clearstory

Mortenson Construction reduces change order risk by processing $1.5 million with Clearstory

Mortenson Construction, a major general contractor, faced significant challenges managing time and material (T&M) tickets and change orders on their GEODIS Park stadium project. Their antiquated, paper-based process created a mess of documentation, leading to inefficiencies and heightened risk. To modernize this process, Mortenson turned to the vendor Clearstory and implemented its digital Change Order Communication tool.

By adopting Clearstory, Mortenson replaced paper tickets with 100% digital T&M Tags and gained real-time visibility through a Universal COR Log. The solution streamlined communication with trade partners, was quickly adopted, and drastically reduced cost exposure. Using Clearstory, Mortenson processed $1.5 million in change costs, identified hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings, and finished the project seven weeks ahead of schedule. The success led Mortenson to implement Clearstory on all future projects.
