Lowkey VA Course

General Construction Support for VAs

Learn the admin workflows a contractor actually expects their VA to handle — not just the vocabulary. Six modules, one running case client, hands-on exercises with self-check answers throughout.

  1. 1. Learn it
  2. 2. Bid it
  3. 3. Document it
  4. 4. Coordinate it
  5. 5. Systemize it
  6. 6. Bill it
  7. Bonus: Land it

Each step maps to one module — the course follows this exact progression from start to finish.

Templates & Resources — downloadable templates in one place
Module 1

Construction Foundations

How a project runs from bid to closeout, who's who on a job, the main trades, and the words you'll hear on day one: RFI, change order, punch list, lien, retainage.

 Module 2

Bids, Estimates & Contracts

Proposals and scope of work, estimate follow-up, subcontractor agreements, purchase orders, and keeping a bid log.

 Module 3

Project Documents & Compliance

RFIs, change orders, submittals, permits, certificates of insurance, lien waivers, daily logs, and meeting minutes.

 Module 4

Scheduling & Coordination

Booking subs and inspections, tracking material deliveries, keeping the timeline current, and sending owner progress updates.

 Module 5

Tools & Systems

Procore, Buildertrend, and JobTread compared; organizing project folders; e-signing; and building your own template library.

 Module 6

Billing & Job Costing

Progress billing, retainage, tracking costs against the budget, and handing clean numbers to the bookkeeper.

 Bonus

Landing Construction Clients

Where contractors look for help, how to package your services, and outreach scripts you can send this week.

Built around one running case client, Ridgeline Builders, so the project carries forward from module to module.
