Three contractor skills: bidding + sub scheduling + daily reports.
Three Claude skills that solve the contractor's biggest ops pain: bid/estimate generator from scope sheet (6-hour estimating → 45 min), subcontractor schedule coordinator (kills the WhatsApp chaos), and the daily field report synthesizer (foreman voice memo → owner-ready report). Companion to the BuildOps AI flagship.

Bid / Estimate Generator (From Scope Sheet)
Contractor intakes scope sheet + site conditions + material costs + labor rates, Claude generates the full bid with line-item takeoff, labor allocation by trade, material pricing with markup, contingency, timeline, and payment schedule. Cross-references against last 10 similar jobs via RAG to sanity-check the number. Cuts a 6-hour estimating job to 45 minutes.
Daily Field Report Synthesizer
Reads foremen's field reports (photos, notes, timesheets), generates the structured daily report: progress vs. schedule, manpower on site, materials delivered, safety incidents, RFIs raised, weather impact, owner-ready summary. Auto-flags schedule-slip risks. Replaces the daily-report-format-everyone-hates with a 5-minute voice memo from the foreman.
Subcontractor Schedule Coordinator
Claude coordinates sub scheduling for construction projects: reads the build schedule, identifies sub handoff dependencies, sends the 48-hour heads-up, the 24-hour confirm, and the day-of directions text. Handles reschedules cascade-style (if framing slips, drywall shifts, electric shifts, etc.). Replaces the project manager's WhatsApp chaos with a coordinated system.
