Who this general contractor project binder is for
This binder is for general contractors and builders managing renovations, additions and new homes. It suits small building companies and owner-builders running one project at a time, as well as contractors juggling several jobs who want a binder for each site. Construction projects involve many trades, inspections and payments, and a single organized binder keeps everyone on the same page. Clear records protect you when clients, lenders or inspectors ask questions.
How to use your general contractor project binder
Record the project overview, schedule, subcontractors, change orders, daily log, inspections, draws and punch list. Start with the project overview: address, client, scope, budget and key dates. Build the schedule with each trade in order. List subcontractors with contacts, contracts and insurance details. Record every change order with cost and client approval before work begins. Write the daily log with weather, crews and progress. Track inspections and results, record draw requests and payments, and finish with a punch list walk-through before final payment.
