Run the project, not the paperwork. The General Contractor’s AI Toolkit gives you field-tested prompts, ready-to-send client scripts, and plug-and-play spreadsheets for proposals, change orders, sub coordination, and weekly client updates — drafted in minutes. Works in the free version of ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.

What’s inside

12 AI prompts built specifically for general contractors — good/better/best scope-of-work & proposal builder, subcontractor scope & RFQ drafter, change-order explainer for the client, client construction-update email, bid follow-up sequencer, phone/lead intake triage & qualification, material/price-change reissue, draw-schedule/payment-milestone explainer, review-response drafter, pre-inspection prep checklist builder, selections & allowance reminder, and a before/after project-photo caption writer.

10 client communication scripts — project kickoff confirmations, crew/sub-on-site notices, weekly progress updates, review requests, proposal follow-ups, permit/inspection status, change-order/price updates, honest schedule-slip notices, warranty/closeout, and final walkthrough + punch-list.

3 business tracking spreadsheets (Excel, ready to use) — a Bid Follow-Up Tracker, a Permit & Inspection Tracker, and a Job Profitability Quick-Check, with the formulas already built in.

The honest part

Every prompt uses your numbers and keeps the AI out of code citations and legal language — it drafts in plain English, you review and sign off. No income claims; these tools save time, what you do with it is the business.
