Construction Agent Skills for Estimating
Construction skills cover the full arc of a project that has a physical site: reading design documents to understand what is supposed to be built, estimating what it should cost before anyone swings a hammer, sequencing work and confirming the site is actually ready, tracking who supplies what and whether it will show up, keeping people safe so they go home, and handling site work along with the paper that follows it. Use the ranked list by starting with the sub-topic that matches your immediate problem, not the whole discipline. Read the skill's description to confirm it addresses your stage, then check what inputs it expects. If two skills cover the same ground, pick the one whose scope matches your project size. Move to the next sub-topic only once the current one is handled.

What this topic covers
Each sub-topic groups Agent Skills for a specific situation.
- Design documents
- What is supposed to be built.
- Estimating
- What it should cost, before anyone swings a hammer.
- Scheduling
- In what order, and when the site is actually ready.
- Procurement
- Who supplies what, and whether it will show up.
- Safety
- People go home. The schedule does not outrank that.
- Site work
- Reality on the ground, including the paper that follows it.
Frequently asked questions
- How is the list ordered?
- The list is ranked by observed search demand. Direct matches to the topic appear first, and any single publisher is capped so one source cannot fill the page.
- Which sub-topic should I start with?
- Start with the stage you are actually in. Design documents come first because they define what is supposed to be built; estimating, scheduling, and procurement follow from that, with safety applying throughout and site work covering execution and the paper that follows it.
- Can one skill cover estimating and scheduling together?
- Some skills span adjacent stages, but the sub-topics are distinct: estimating answers what it should cost before anyone swings a hammer, while scheduling answers in what order work happens and when the site is actually ready. Check the description to see which question a skill is built to answer.
- Why does safety appear alongside planning topics?
- Safety is treated as a first-class concern in construction: people go home, and the schedule does not outrank that. Skills in this topic reflect that priority rather than treating safety as a downstream checklist item.
How to install an Agent Skill
Start with the first skill on this page. Claude Code reads a SKILL.md once it is in the skills directory:
- Claude Code — copy the SKILL.md for design-doc-mermaid into ~/.claude/skills/design-doc-mermaid/ for yourself, or .claude/skills/design-doc-mermaid/ to share it with a project.
- From the registry — run npx skills add spillwavesolutions/design-doc-mermaid@design-doc-mermaid.
- Or download design-doc-mermaid from its source and place that SKILL.md in the directory above.
How to choose Check the source and the skill’s own instructions before you install. Official and Notable describe where a skill comes from.
