Each product page lists the file type, so check it before downloading to make sure the template opens in the software your team already uses.<\/p><h3>Which construction documents does every project need?<\/h3><p>Most projects need a site safety plan, a way to issue and track RFIs and submittals, a schedule the field can follow, daily reports and a closeout record. Your contract, owner and local authority may add to that list, so confirm their requirements at startup.<\/p><h3>Are any of the construction templates free?<\/h3><p>Yes. Templates offered at no cost are grouped in the <a href=\"https:\/\/essential.construction\/files\/free\/\">Free collection<\/a>. Prices for all other templates are shown on each product page, along with the file type and a description of what each template includes.<\/p><h3>Can I use these templates outside the US?<\/h3><p>Many documents are written for general use and can be adapted, but regulations, terminology and contract practice differ between countries, states and provinces. Review each template against the rules that apply to your project before you use it.<\/p>"},"menu_order":10,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/files\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/1395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/files\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/files\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/files\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=1395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
