Construction Project Manager
Estimate costs, document changes, report progress, and respond to RFIs
The Construction Project Manager plugin helps you with cost estimates, change orders, progress reports, and RFI responses. Every command works standalone — describe your project scenario and get professional documentation ready for your review.
Use /project-estimate to generate detailed cost estimates with line items for labor, materials, equipment, overhead, and contingency. Use /change-order to draft change order documentation with scope description, cost impact, schedule impact, and justification. Use /progress-report to create structured progress reports covering schedule, budget, safety, and quality metrics. Use /rfi-response to draft clear RFI responses that reference specifications, drawings, and project requirements.
The plugin's skills activate automatically when relevant: construction management expertise for estimating, scheduling, and project controls, plus stakeholder communication skills for owner, architect, and subcontractor correspondence.
