Meetings by Constructable

Construction meeting minutes software for general contractors

Run OAC, subcontractor, and safety meetings in the same place as your RFIs and submittals, then email the minutes to everyone on the list. Owners, architects, and subs can attend without buying a seat because we do flat pricing with unlimited users.

Agendas

Build the agenda before anyone walks in

Lay out the meeting as sections, items, and sub-items in the order you plan to cover them. A Draft stays private until you publish it, so you can finish the agenda without notifying anyone.

• Setting up a pre-installation meeting: add the sections, attach files to the items they belong to, and drag everything into order

• Telling people where to be: put the trailer or conference room in the description, and add a conferencing link for anyone calling in

• Ready to send: select Publish Agenda, check the list of attendees who will be notified, and continue

Smart sections

Open RFIs and submittals fill in the agenda for you

Add the Open RFIs or Open Submittals smart section, and the agenda lists every open record with its current ball-in-court. These are live links to the RFIs and submittals, not copies you have to update before each meeting.

• An RFI opens the day before the meeting: it shows up on the agenda without anyone adding it, until the meeting is finished

• Something closed since last week: starting the meeting drops closed RFIs and completed submittals from the agenda, and the records stay as they are

• A question comes up in the room: open the RFI or submittal from the agenda to see its details

Run the meeting

Take attendance and notes as you go

Select Start Meeting when everyone is in the room. Record who showed up with Roll Call, then type notes and decisions under each agenda item.

• Someone walks in late: run Roll Call again while the meeting is still in progress

• Meeting at the trailer: start the meeting, take Roll Call, and edit notes in the Constructable app on a phone or tablet

• A decision people need to see: format notes with bold, lists, links, and preset text colors

Meeting minutes

Issue the minutes the same day

Select Finish Meeting, and attendees get a notification with a link to the minutes. Then select Distribute to email the minutes with the PDF already attached.

• Choosing who gets them: the host and attendees start selected, and you review the list before anything is sent

• Sending the backup: pick which attachments from sections, items, and sub-items go out with the email

• Something changed after you sent it: select Redistribute to send the minutes again

Recurring meetings

Each weekly meeting picks up where the last one left off

From a finished meeting, select Create Next Meeting. You get a new Draft with the same agenda structure and attendees, linked to the meeting before it, and last week's minutes stay as they were issued.

• Exporting the minutes: include notes from the last one, two, three, or all prior meetings in the series in the PDF

• Checking what was said: the Previous Meeting link on each meeting opens the minutes before it

• Starting a new job: Import from Project copies another project's meetings in as Drafts, so you can reuse a format your team already runs

Visibility

Control who sees which meetings

The Meetings page groups every meeting as Started, Published, Draft, or Finished. Permissions decide which of those meetings each person can see.

• Internal meetings: give a role access to only the meetings where they're the host, the creator, or an attendee

• Agendas still in progress: only roles with permission to view draft meetings see Drafts

• Owners, architects, and subs: add them as attendees at no extra cost, because every plan includes unlimited users

Christian Allen, Estimator/Project Manager at Trinity Builds: Trinity Builds recently made the switch from an industry leading Project Management platform to Constructable.ai. This has been absolutely amazing. For many years, they had been the industry standard, but has neglected to keep up with cutting edge technology, as well as neglecting customer service. Constructable.ai has so many incredible usable features, including an internal AI agent that can search drawings and specs and give real time answers. One of my favorite features is the AI agent Import Bid feature, which will take an emailed bid from a sub contractor and detail the full scope of work, inclusions and exclusions, and pricing clarifications.

David Gibbs, Associate Manager of Architecture at RRM Design Group: The Constructable team truly listens to all the variety of users as they strive to develop this software to be better every day.

Email to Molly about Constructable submittal status: I’m not sure who requested this updated feature, but this is GREAT! Really. I love the stamp. Very helpful for the superintendent or the on-site team to know the status of the submittals while they are not always implicated in the back and forth before the review. Thank you for that.

By the way, the “Add Invoice” button that was added for sub and owner invoices on the invoice screen has been very convenient! Thanks for adding that!

Jennifer Sears, Operations Administrator: If you know me well, you will be surprised that I'm recommending a program that has a lot of AI features. And I'm loving this program! After suffering through a couple of older project management platforms, Constructable.ai is in a league of its own! In an industry where communication, coordination, and access to accurate information can make or break a project, having a platform that helps keep everything organized and accessible is a huge advantage. Constructable.ai does a great job of bringing project information together in one place, making it easier for teams to stay aligned, find what they need, and make informed decisions without wasting time digging through emails, folders, and disconnected systems. For contractors looking for ways to improve efficiency, communication, and overall project organization, Constructable.ai is definitely worth checking out. If you would like an introduction to the absolutely rock star Constructable.ai Team, let me know. I'll hook you up! I promise, you will be impressed.

Luigi La Corte, Co-Founder and CEO of Provisio: Molly Abbott, Emma Nazim and the Constructable team have one of the most thoughtful solutions I’ve seen in construction tech. I was really blown away by how much they’ve built and how happy their customers were based on our initial conversations. I’m super pumped for their latest launch and looking forward to seeing them crushing it even more than they are now. If you are a PM and you’re looking for best-in-class project management software, do contact Molly and Emma.

Email to John: That deep dive was such a valuable session specifically because of how you ran it. You came out to listen. They didn’t just take away Constructable knowledge but saw how you use Claude. To the whole Constructable team: thank you for being the kind of partner we point to when people ask what a good vendor relationship looks like. You listen, you take feedback seriously, and you keep shipping updates that make the product better for the people using it in the field and in the office.

Everyone loves Constructable! Keep kicking ass! Bidding a job in Carlsbad right now and these subs who don’t know us are really liking it. Also, one of the subs down there bidding my job is already using Constructable on a project with another contractor. Very cool!

Excellent! Thank you so much for all of your help and hard work to get this done so quickly. We greatly appreciate you all! My team has been getting in and surfing around. They are all loving it! Especially the little Easter eggs. I haven’t seen it yet, but the guys are all talking about it.

Miguel Melo, General Superintendent at The Eminence Group: Talk about a seamless transition when my company decided to board with Constructable as our construction management platform. The training process was immaculate, the interface was very familiar and intuitive, and we had a great surprise when we requested rich-text formatting for the daily log to color code certain information and had it implemented the following day. The built-in tools are also something good. Take-off tools, budgets, schedules, and their AI search tool takes everything to the next level. Entirely happy that we made the switch.

I have something to share with you guys that I just did on here and I was using the chatbot function for our site. And it gave me the exact location that I had previously figured out using Math. Where the floor penetration would be so the math checks. It’s pretty cool.

Molly, just wanted to send a huge thank you for coming in and absolutely crushing the Constructable training with our team yesterday. Seriously, it felt more like a masterclass than a walkthrough. You did an awesome job breaking everything down in a way that actually clicked for everyone, and the energy and knowledge you brought made a big impact. We really appreciate you taking the time to answer questions, share tips and tricks, and help us connect the dots on how to make our workflows smoother and more efficient.

We were discussing construction management software over the weekend and he was very impressed with the capabilities of Constructable. Emma, Molly and John are the founders at Constructable. I cannot say enough good things about how helpful they have been since we joined Constructable as a user. The software speaks for itself, and their responsiveness to user feedback is unmatched.

Hello Molly, thanks for doing that. I logged in on my phone, and everything looks great! I am very excited to start using Constructable! Everything was quick to display, and I even added a photo album. It looked like everything was there and very simple to navigate which is extremely important. I also noticed Sunbelt Rentals and Best Block had their logos next to their names.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pull open RFIs and submittals into my meeting agenda automatically?

Yes. Add the Open RFIs or Open Submittals smart section to the agenda. It lists every open RFI or submittal on the project with its ball-in-court, and it links to the records instead of copying them. See our construction RFI software.

Will an RFI opened after I built the agenda show up?

Yes. The smart section keeps adding newly opened RFIs and submittals until the meeting is finished. When you start the meeting, closed RFIs and completed submittals drop off that agenda. The records themselves don't change.

How do I take attendance at a meeting?

Once the meeting is started, select Roll Call, check off who's there, and save. The attendee list splits into Attended and Did Not Attend, and the minutes carry that record. You can run Roll Call again while the meeting is in progress if someone arrives late.

How do attendees get the meeting minutes?

Finishing the meeting sends attendees a notification with a link to the minutes. Select Distribute to email the minutes with the PDF attached, along with any agenda attachments you choose. The emailed PDF leaves out photo pages, so attach the photos people need.

Can the minutes PDF include notes from previous meetings?

Yes. When you export, choose Include prior meeting notes and pick one, two, three, or all prior meetings in the series. You can also add photo pages built from the image attachments on the agenda.

How do I set up a weekly recurring OAC meeting?

Run the first meeting, then select Create Next Meeting from the finished meeting. The new Draft keeps the agenda structure and the attendees who still have project access, and it links back to the meeting before it. Do the same each week to build the series.

Can I reuse a meeting format from another project?

Yes. Import from Project copies every meeting on the source project into yours as Drafts, with their sections, items, and attendees but not their notes. Delete the Drafts you don't need. Imported meetings aren't linked as a series until you use Create Next Meeting.

Can I run a meeting from my phone or tablet?

Yes. In the Constructable app for iPhone, iPad, and Android, you can create a Draft, edit the agenda, change the meeting's status, take Roll Call, and export the PDF.

Can I keep some meetings visible only to the people in them?

Yes. Give a role participant-restricted access to meetings, and people in that role see only the meetings where they're the creator, the host, or an attendee. Seeing Drafts takes a separate permission.

Which plan includes meetings?

Meetings are included in the Field and Project Management plan and above. Every plan is a flat monthly rate with unlimited users, and AI tools are included. View our pricing page for more details.
