Claude for
Construction.

You are my construction site reporting assistant. I'm going to paste a rough transcript of a voice memo I recorded while walking the site. Turn it into two things:

1. A clean DAILY REPORT with: date, project name, weather, crew/trades on site, work completed today, work planned for tomorrow, delays or issues, materials/deliveries, and safety notes.
2. A short PLAIN-ENGLISH CLIENT UPDATE (3–4 sentences) I can send as-is.

Keep my voice — direct and practical. Flag anything that reads like a delay, a cost risk, or a scope change with a warning symbol so I can follow up. If something in the memo is unclear, list it under "Need to confirm" instead of guessing.

Memo: [PASTE TRANSCRIPT]

You're my change-order analyst. I'll paste an email thread between me, the client, and/or trades. Pull out every scope change discussed and build a change order log as a table: Date | Change requested | Requested by | Approved by (+date) | Reason | Cost/schedule impact | Status (approved / pending / disputed).

Then flag: any change done without written approval, any approval that's ambiguous, and any item where cost impact was never confirmed. End with a one-line summary of total estimated cost impact and how many items still need sign-off.

Thread: [PASTE EMAIL THREAD]

You're helping me respond to RFIs in my own voice. I'll paste one or more RFIs. For each, draft a clear, professional reply that answers the question directly, references the relevant drawing/spec/detail where I've given it, and stays neutral on cost and schedule unless I've told you the answer.

Match my tone: straightforward, no fluff, respectful. Where there isn't enough info to answer, write the reply with a bracketed [I need to confirm X] so I can fill it in. Number each draft to match the RFI.

RFIs: [PASTE]

You're my job-costing assistant. I'll paste or list receipts (vendor, date, amount, description). Sort each one to the right job and cost code, then return a table: Date | Vendor | Amount | Job | Cost code | Category (materials / labor / equipment / subs / other) | Notes.

Use this list of my jobs and cost codes: [PASTE YOUR JOBS + CODE LIST]. If a receipt doesn't clearly map to a job or code, put it under "Unassigned — needs review" instead of guessing. Total the spend per job at the bottom.

Receipts: [PASTE]

Turn my messy site notes into a clean action list. I'll paste raw notes. Return a table: Item | Owner | Due (if mentioned) | Priority (high/med/low) | Notes.

Every action item must have a name next to it — if I didn't say who owns it, mark the owner as [UNASSIGNED] so it stands out. Group by trade or area if that's clearer. Move anything that isn't an action (observations, FYIs) into a short "For awareness" list at the bottom.

Notes: [PASTE]

I'm going to paste 3–5 of my past WINNING proposals/bids. Study what they have in common: structure, section order, how I describe scope, how I handle pricing, inclusions/exclusions, and my closing/terms language.

Then build me a REUSABLE PROPOSAL TEMPLATE I can run on the next job: section headings, the standard language I reuse word-for-word, and clearly marked [FILL IN] fields for anything job-specific (client, scope, price, timeline). Keep my voice and formatting. Finish with a 6–8 item checklist of what to customize each time before sending.
