Use AI to draft clear onboarding instructions that help new subcontractors understand your project expectations and processes.
When a new subcontractor joins your project mid-stream or you're working with a crew for the first time, they need to quickly understand your site rules, communication preferences, reporting requirements, and project-specific procedures. Instead of scrambling to write these instructions from scratch or forwarding a messy chain of old emails, use AI to create a clean, welcoming onboarding document that sets clear expectations and gets everyone on the same page from day one. This saves you time and prevents confusion that leads to delays or safety issues.

“Act as an experienced construction manager creating onboarding instructions for a new subcontractor joining an active project. Write a clear, professional welcome document that covers: site access and check-in procedures, daily safety briefing requirements, communication protocols (who to contact for what), daily reporting or log requirements, material delivery and staging rules, work hour restrictions, and cleanup expectations. The project is: [describe your project type and current phase, e.g., '3-story commercial office renovation, currently in rough-in phase']. The subcontractor trade is: [e.g., 'electrical contractor']. Keep the tone professional but welcoming, use bullet points for clarity, and emphasize safety and communication. Make it easy for them to succeed on this job.”
