RoofingChange Order Management4HighBoard Member$ implied
A homeowners association board member lacks roofing knowledge and feels unable to fairly evaluate the pricing of change orders during a roofing project, leading to unexpected costs.
No existing software seems to help non-experts assess the fairness of change order pricing in real time, forcing them to rely on the contractor's word.
