For contractors.
AI playbooks that fit how contractors actually run jobs.
The SkillForge AI contracting playbook is trade-specific on purpose — estimating, client communication, and change orders, written for owners, estimators, foremen, and project managers. No generic SaaS advice. Just the prompts your team pastes into chat today, at the desk, on the lot, or at the kitchen table with a client.
What subscribers say
From the field.
“The bid-drafting prompt cuts my first draft from an hour to about fifteen minutes. I spend the saved time on the line-item review, which is what actually wins the bid.”
“I run the change-order prompt before every mid-project add. The client gets the scope, cost, and timing impact the same day and signs without a back-and-forth.”
“Post-job follow-up was the workflow I dreaded — none of us likes asking for referrals. The prompt got me three warm intros the first month I used it.”
What the playbook covers
Three workflows that run a contracting business.
Built around the moments that decide whether the bid lands and the margin holds — not the moments a vendor demo likes to talk about.
Pillar 1
Bid drafts that hold margin.
The 3-step bid-drafting workflow — scope walk, line-item build, pricing review — plus material take-offs and a post-job review loop that catches the under-pricing patterns from last month before they repeat on next month’s bid.
Pillar 2
Client follow-through from contract to final walkthrough.
The 30-day client follow-up cadence from contract through final walkthrough, with prompts you can recite at the kitchen table. Built-in objection handling for pricing, timeline, scope, payment terms, and "I need to think about it" — without sounding like every other contractor.
Pillar 3
Change-order capture that protects margin.
A change-order template covering scope creep, weather delays, and client-driven adds, plus crew handoff scripts for daily logs, inspection handoffs, and shift changes so the change you bill tonight is the one the client signs tomorrow.
