Project Mangers
Welcome To:
Video Explanation
Class 1 of 200
To introduce Project Managers to their Digital Manual — the centralized hub for everything they manage, learn, and improve throughout each project.This system helps PMs organize knowledge, standardize operations, and lead with confidence in every phase of construction.
You can take this template and follow along but make sure to customize it to your company & personality.
Template
This is not a journal — it’s your hub for performance.It’s designed to capture and organize:
Decisions you make and why they were made
The subcontractors, vendors, and materials you select
Lessons learned from every job site
Checklists that guide you through every trade
Communication records, budgets, and safety planning
Photos, plans, and inspection results — all in one place
It’s not about reflection — it’s about running smarter and documenting like a pro.
Your manual becomes the source of truth for your projects and your personal development as a manager.
Every successful PM eventually builds their own systems — this tool just gives you a professional framework from Day One.
Instead of chasing texts, sticky notes, and mental checklists, you’ll have a unified structure that:
Keeps your workflow consistent across all jobs
Captures best practices as they’re discovered
Builds a library of knowledge your team can reference forever
You’re not filling out forms — you’re building your personal construction playbook.
Your manual is divided into structured phases (Earthwork, Concrete, Framing, Roofing, etc.), and each one includes:
A Selection Awareness Guide (what to think about in that phase)
A Logging Section (to record materials, subs, tools, and vendors)
A Lessons & Notes Section (to record what was learned)
Copy and paste the URL on our website to have something to start with and that are team will never stop elevating it.
Over time, you’ll have a fully developed library of:
Trusted suppliers
Subcontractor relationships
Design preferences
Workflow optimizations
When used properly, your manual becomes your competitive advantage.
A great Project Manager doesn’t just manage people — they manage information flow.
This manual trains you to:
Think in systems, not moments
Prevent mistakes before they start
Organize chaos into clear, repeatable processes
Build a company memory, not just personal experience
Every time you log something, you’re improving the next build.
Start each phase by reviewing the Detail Page.
Log all materials, subcontractors, and vendors you’ll need.
Document issues and improvements in the “Notes & Lessons” section.
Attach photos, inspections, or receipts to the appropriate folder.
Review your manual weekly — update, correct, refine.
The goal is to grow mastery, not just track activity.
Communication clarity
Accountability between trades
Fast onboarding for new team members
Transparent project documentation
Long-term efficiency and risk reduction
It’s the command center of a well-run operation.
Open your Digital Manual and explore all main categories.
Add your name, contact info, and project name to the header section.
