Common questions

Are these construction templates free?

Yes. ProtoPM free construction templates download as Excel with no account required. Free forever

Do I need to give my email to download?

No. Template downloads are ungated. Sign up only if you want to run the same work inside ProtoPM.

Can I use these for electrical contracting?

Yes. Sample rows use electrical-flavored jobs (panel upgrades, service changes, lighting), but the columns work for general contractors and other trades too.

Where are the online PDF tools?

Invoice and status-report PDFs live under Free tools at /tools, alongside these Excel templates.

Are these AIA or CCDC forms?

This template is an original ProtoPM form for planning and tracking. It is not a legal contract and is not affiliated with AIA, CCDC, or other standard forms. Adapt it for your trade and jurisdiction.
