Client updates, subcontractor scopes, and change orders — drafted fast

What it is

Client updates, subcontractor scopes, and change orders — drafted fast

Configure Claude as a writing and communication partner for your contracting business. It drafts client progress updates, subcontractor scope-of-work outlines, change-order explanations, and project timeline summaries — while deferring all engineering, permit, and code sign-off decisions to licensed professionals.

Write a client progress updatescenario · built in
Claude should produce a professional client update that covers completed work (demo, rough plumbing), upcoming work (electrical starting Monday), the two-day delay and its cause (mold remediation — not downplayed), and a clear, time-sensitive action item for the client (cabinet hardware selection by Friday). The update should be direct and plain — not defensive about the delay. It must not fabricate costs or code information.
Draft a change-order explanationscenario · built in
Claude should produce a clear change-order document with separate sections for: description of the change (9-foot to 12-foot ceilings in main workspace), reason (owner request), cost impact ($8,400 with brief breakdown by work type), schedule impact (five calendar days), and a signature line for client authorization. The document must be professional, state each number clearly, and not fabricate any cost figures beyond what was provided.
Write a subcontractor scope of workscenario · built in
Claude should produce a scope-of-work document with a clear "Scope Included" section (rough-in and finish plumbing), a "Scope Excluded" section (gas lines, water heater installation), and a coordination requirement noting that work must be complete before concrete flatwork begins and must be sequenced around the framing crew. The document should be structured so it can be attached to a subcontract without ambiguity.
