Free templates you can put your name on

Construction quality control checklist you will actually use

Twenty-eight hold points across a residential build, ordered by the sequence work happens in — each one a thing to verify before the next trade covers it. Pass/fail dropdowns, who checked, the date, whether a photo was taken, and room for the deficiency. Download it and put your name on it.

Construction estimate template built for Canadian quoting

An editable Excel estimate with itemized labour, materials, and subcontract lines, per-line markup, and a provincial tax lookup that applies GST, HST, or combined rates to the total. Download it, put your name on it, and quote — no email gate.

Job costing template: budget, committed, actual

A working budget-vs-actual spreadsheet with fifteen standard residential cost codes. Enter your budget, the POs and subcontracts you've committed, and the bills you've approved — it computes remaining budget per code and flags any code that's OVER or approaching its budget.

A change order form that protects your margin

The change nobody wrote down is the profit you gave away. This editable form captures the scope change, the reason, itemized pricing with a tax line, the schedule impact, and both signatures — and computes the revised contract value so there's never a dispute about the new total.

What your preconstruction agreement needs to say

Preconstruction is the phase where a builder does real work — budgets, constructability review, schedule, trade pricing — before there is a construction contract to be paid under. This is the checklist of terms that decides whether that work is paid for and whether the estimate you produce binds you. Thirty items across scope, fee, deliverables, design responsibility and conversion, with a column for who confirms each one.
