WHY DO CONSTRUCTION TEAMS CREATE SOPS?
Consistent quality across all projects regardless of which team members are involved Reduced errors and rework saving time and protecting your margins Improved safety performance and compliance with regulations Easier onboarding for new team members (crucial during labor shortages) Protection against knowledge loss when key employees leave Scalability that allows your business to grow without chaos SOPs are one of the easiest ways to start systemizing your operations because they're easy to create, search through, and update. When you're looking to document institutional knowledge (and get it out of human brains for safe-keeping!), SOPs are the go-to option.
WHAT DOES THIS RESOURCE PROVIDE?
Comprehensive SOP Topics This SOP toolkit is intended to help you start thinking about which SOPs you need in your business to systematize operations and ultimately grow your construction company. We've curated a comprehensive list of SOP topics specifically for construction and remodeling businesses. Important Note Please note: We're providing SOP topics and not pre-written SOPs—that's intentional! The content of standard operating procedures must be completely unique to your team's processes, technology, and people. Your SOPs need to reflect YOUR reality, not ours!
