Use AI to prepare a clear set of talking points before meeting with a general contractor about job scope.
Before you sit down with a GC to discuss a new project or clarify responsibilities, it's easy to forget key points or miss details that could cause problems later. Paste your rough notes or the project overview into ChatGPT and ask it to organize your main talking points—what you need clarified, what's included in your scope, potential conflicts with other trades, and anything that could affect your timeline or price. You'll walk into the meeting with a clear outline that keeps you on track and ensures nothing important gets skipped. This works great whether it's a kickoff meeting for a big commercial job or a quick chat about a residential addition. Instead of scrambling to remember everything mid-conversation, you'll have a simple list that helps you cover permits, access needs, coordination with plumbers or HVAC, material lead times, and any red flags you spotted in the plans. It takes two minutes to generate and makes you look organized and professional.

“I'm meeting with a general contractor tomorrow about a commercial office build-out. My electrical scope includes panel upgrades, LED lighting throughout, outlets, and data cabling rough-in. I need to clarify: when I'll have access, who's doing the low-voltage terminations, if there are any permit delays, and whether the existing panel can handle the load. Create a short list of talking points and questions I should cover in the meeting to avoid confusion or scope creep later.”
