Frequently asked questions
Something else? Chat to our friendly team via support@essential.construction
Why do I need this?
Good question! We used to ask ourselves this all the time. You don’t realize the power of a toolkit of documents, templates and procedures until you start using it. Having these documents, readily at hand saves you time and money usually spent on meticulous and time consuming tasks. It can save you up to 10 hours per week.
A good way to frame it is – “will this toolkit save me a few hours of work on a project?”. If the answer is YES, it’s probably worth the investment. Then it becomes an asset you can use in unlimited future projects.
What exactly do I get?
You get access to over 50 different documents and templates that can be used on any construction project. These templates are primarily spreadsheets and word documents and cover many facets of a construction project.
In addition to the templates, you’ll also get access to over 25 different tutorials which will help you with complex tasks on your project.
What software do I need?
All of our documents and templates will work in most modern platforms including Apples (pages, sheets), Microsoft office and the Google Docs platform.
Are all of the documents editable?
All of the documents and templates are fully editable meaning you can manipulate them as little or as much as you need.
Is this applicable to my country?
Short answer is YES!
The team that prepared the toolkit has worked in over 50 different locations across the globe. In our effort to compile it we tried to pick resources that were fairly consistent across geographies. There may be some tailoring you may need to do to make it completely specific but those tweaks shouldn’t take long.
When will I get access?
Immediately upon purchase, you will receive a link to the toolkit to download it.
When Will I Be Charged?
Immediately upon processing of payment. The toolkit is a one time purchase.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards including AMEX and paypal.
What does lifetime access mean?
Once you have purchased the kit, you will have access to all of the future updates, free of charge. We’ll let you know when updates and improvements are made.

Kody T. First let me say, I’ve been working as a carpenter for the last 20 years. 2 years ago I decided to go into management. I was struggling to find a good source of information. The contractor toolkit provided everything I needed AND MORE. Thank you to everyone who put this together, it’s been a great resource that I refer to almost every day!
