The Game Changing Template for Your Business
The template that can change your business from scraps of paper, disorganized documents to an efficient and profitable enterprise.
Why Most Builders Are Drowning in Administrative Chaos
According to research by Autodesk and FMI, "35% of construction professionals' time is spent (over 14 hours per week) on non-productive activities including looking for project information, conflict resolution and dealing with mistakes and rework.
That's over a third of your workweek lost to paperwork headaches.
It's not your fault. The construction industry pushes expensive, complicated software solutions that create more problems than they solve. Meanwhile, you're forced to patch together systems that waste your time, frustrate clients, and leave money on the table.
The Hidden Costs of Construction Chaos
Your disorganization isn't just causing daily headaches - it's quietly draining your profitability with every passing project. When details slip through cracks and client expectations get mismanaged, you're left working overtime to fix problems that shouldn't exist.
"On average, change orders account for approximately 8-14% of all capital construction dollars" and "24% of the time change orders account for over 10% of the total project costs" (Gordian, 2015).
Over time, this chaos doesn't just hurt your bank account - it damages your reputation, strains client relationships, and slowly erodes your passion for building itself. Many talented contractors eventually burn out completely, believing the business side will always be this painful.
False Promises of "Design Business Solutions"
Expensive Software...
...forces you into rigid workflows, requires constant training, and drains thousands annually for features you'll never use.
Cobbled Together Apps...
...create information silos, lead to critical details falling through the cracks, and confuse both your team and clients with scattered communications.
Hiring Admin Staff...
...adds substantial overhead before you're ready, creates another person to manage, and doesn't solve the fundamental organization problems.
What Builders Actually Need
The key to running a profitable construction business isn't more software, staff, or systems. It's having one unified command center that works the way you do.
Think about it:
- When you track projects, you're really trying to deliver exceptional client experiences
- Managing invoices is just another way to protect your profitability and cash flow
- And organizing subcontractor communications? That's all about building trust and efficiency
Once you understand this, everything about construction management becomes simpler, faster, and more enjoyable.
That's when you can:
- Get organized in just one weekend
- Deliver premium client experiences without expensive software subscriptions
- Start seeing results even if you're "not a tech person"
The best part?
You don't need coding skills, IT support, or even previous project management experience to get started.
Mike T. used this approach to double his construction capacity in just 3 months - while actually working fewer hours and taking his first real vacation in years.

Frequently Asked Questions
What If I've Never Used Notion Before?
Many of our most successful users had never opened Notion before finding this template.
That's why every purchase includes detailed video tutorials and support in our Facebook Group.
Do I have to Pay for Notion?
No. Only a free Notion login is required to use this template.
Having said that, you may find if you have a team of over 10 you will need to pay. You can check out the Notion pricing plan here.
If you do choose to pay though (it's a small fee), you get some extra benefits.
How Many Projects Can I Manage With It?
You can create as many projects as you want.
This template is flexible for any size business.
Can I Export Views From it to Excel / PDF?

Although there are plugins that claim they can export CSV / PDF files, we have not had much success with the formatting of these.

You can change the colors, text and images in the file.
Add images of the project you’re working on or inspiring projects. Make it yours
Can I Share the Client Portal live with my Clients and Contractors?
Notion allows live sharing of pages via a URL link.
Meaning your documents are always up to date for clients and subcontractors to see.
Can you help me Customize It?
Yes, definitely.
I take on custom jobs from time to time.

Wondering Who I Am?
I'm Ellie
I created Insight Design Studio to help design and construction professionals get back more time for actual work. Not admin.
With over a decade of experience in the construction world, as an architect, I've witnessed first hand (on both sides) how disorganization steals time, profits and joy.
I saw talented contractors drowning in paperwork, constantly fielding calls, and struggling to coordinate subcontractors.
So, I developed documents that could be used over and over again.
To help streamline tasks and reduce daily client calls.
I now had templates that I could use for every project.
My clients and contractors were happier.
I halved the time I spent on admin.
Ultimately, freeing up space for creativity.
And now hundreds of other construction and design professionals have solved the same problem using our templates
