Lost Tags, Delayed CORs, Slower Pay?

Cameron Page, founder and CEO of Clearstory and SMACNA Silver Associate Member, recently joined Seth Lennon for a conversation about one of the toughest challenges facing specialty contractors: managing change orders. Cameron shares how his time as a GC opened his eyes to the inefficiencies buried in traditional COR and T&M workflows and how that experience led him to launch Clearstory.

In the episode, Cameron breaks down how Clearstory helps SMACNA contractors streamline the most frustrating parts of the job. Forget the emails, PDFs, and chasing signatures. Clearstory gives field and office teams shared visibility, clean documentation, and faster approvals.

The episode also touches on how Clearstory helps subs look more professional to their GCs and keep cash flowing with fewer delays. In our latest data, 60% of specialty contractors said poor documentation directly impacts their ability to get paid on time.

And speaking of data, we’re putting the final touches on our 2025 Specialty Contractor Insights Report. It’s packed with trends, benchmarks, and eye-opening stats on how trades across the country are handling change orders. Stay tuned for the release in the coming weeks.
