CONTRACTOR PROPOSAL
The project runs across three phases. Each closes with a written deliverable and a walk-through before the next begins.
PHASE 1 · PREP AND PERMITS
Site survey, final measurements, permit applications with the municipality, subcontractor scheduling, material ordering, and site protection prior to construction start.
PHASE 2 · CONSTRUCTION
Demolition, framing, mechanical rough-ins, insulation and drywall, finishes, fixtures, and inspections at each required milestone with daily supervision on site.
PHASE 3 · PUNCH-LIST AND CLOSE-OUT
Final walk-through with the owner, punch-list corrections, final cleaning, delivery of warranties and manuals, and certificate of occupancy where required.
Not included: designer or architect fees, upgrades or finishes beyond the approved spec, hidden conditions discovered mid-build (handled by written change order), and owner-supplied materials. New scope can be added in writing at any time.

The Contractor Proposal template is a five-page document for putting your engagement on paper before it starts. It carries an overview with stat cards, objectives, a three-phase scope of work, an investment table with a computed total, and an acceptance page with inputs and signatures.
It is intentionally simple: rename what needs renaming in Bonsai, list your actual deliverables, and set the price. Merge fields handle the client details and date, and the last page collects a PO number, start date, and both signatures.
Everything below comes pre-configured. Turn sections on or off, edit the copy, or add your own — Bonsai remembers your choices for next time.
Can I edit every section? Yes — every heading, paragraph, stat, table row, and signature block is fully editable in Bonsai.
Can I add more pages? Yes — add, reorder, or duplicate pages once the template is open.
Do merge fields auto-fill? Yes — Sender, Receiver, and Date pull from your client contact and the current date automatically.
