The Owner-Approval Workflow

Sample post · 5 min read

The moment a capital project crosses its approved budget, you have two choices: stop and ask, or spend and hope. The first protects you. The second is how overruns become surprises — and how owners lose trust.

Threshold approvals, enforced

TurnCap lets you set approval thresholds per project and per owner. When a change order pushes a project over its threshold, the overage is routed for approval before a dollar is spent — with the full context attached: the original budget, the change order, the quote.

Every decision leaves a trail

Approvals aren't just about saying yes. They're about documenting who approved what, when, and why. That audit trail is what makes your CapEx defensible when an owner or auditor asks.

The workflow in practice

  • Set the approved budget and threshold per project.
  • Log change orders as they happen.
  • Route over-threshold spend for approval automatically.
  • Keep a complete, immutable audit trail.
