“Whomever takes the minutes controls the story,” as the saying goes, and it’s imperative during the craziness of a construction project to make sure the story is straight!

So here’s our meeting minutes template!

On larger commercial projects, construction project meeting minutes are usually handled by the GC, but on smaller projects and residential projects, there’s often no one taking care of this important duty. So whether you’re a GC, an owner, or an architect, you can use this template to ensure that good records are being kept of the project!

Included here is a sample of our minutes and an explanation of how to set them up, followed by an editable Word doc for you to use for your own projects.

Minutes have been keeping our jobs organized and flowing for 10+ years at my architectural practice, and before that, while I was a GC.

Get in the habit of keeping minutes for project meetings, and watch things go more smoothly!

And while these minutes are geared toward weekly meetings that happen during construction, the format is flexible enough to be used for any kind of meeting.

Drop me a line and let me know how you’re using them!

Thank you, and go forth and be organized!
