Variations
Variations signed before the work starts
Price the change, send it and get it signed online. Once it's approved the contract updates, and the variation is ready to bill on its own or with your next claim.
In short
BuildrHub is job management software for Australian trades. Variations are for fixed-price jobs with an accepted quote. Each variation lists only the change, including credits for work removed, and its PDF shows the revised contract total. The client views and signs it online. On approval the variation locks and its amount is added to the job's current contract. Approved variations can be billed as their own invoice or added to a progress claim, and each one can only be billed once.

Variations
What you get
Only the change
Add the extra work, or a negative line for work taken out. You never re-quote the whole job.
Client sees the new total
The variation shows the original contract, earlier variations and the new total, so the client knows exactly where the price ends up.
Signed online
The client opens it from a link and signs on their phone. You can see when they've opened it.
Contract updates on approval
Approval locks the variation and adds it to the job's current contract. There's no spreadsheet to keep in step.
Billed once, your way
Bill an approved variation on its own invoice or add it to your next progress claim. Either way it can't be billed twice.
Chased if it stalls
Turn on reminders and the client gets a follow up email, which stops as soon as they respond.
