Clone Projects, Estimates & Tasks

Clone Construction Projects in Seconds

If you’re a contractor who builds similar jobs over and over, you already know the pain. Every new kitchen remodel, every bathroom renovation, every roof replacement starts with the same tasks, the same materials, the same schedule. And every time, you’re typing it all out again from scratch.

That’s where cloning comes in. Projul lets you clone construction projects, duplicate estimates, and reuse schedules so you never rebuild the same job twice. Over 5,000 contractors use Projul’s cloning tools to skip the repetitive setup and get straight to the work that actually matters.

Projul’s Project Cloning lets contractors duplicate entire projects, estimates, and schedules in seconds so repeat jobs never start from scratch. Save templates once and reuse them on every similar job. Projul offers flat-rate pricing with no per-user fees for construction companies of all sizes.

Build a project once. Save it. Reuse it forever. A few clicks and your new job has the same structure, tasks, materials, and schedule as the last one. Make a couple tweaks for the specifics and you’re already running.

Why Cloning Saves Hours on Repeat Work

Think about how much time your office spends setting up new projects. You pull up the last similar job, open a spreadsheet or your old software, and start copying line items one at a time. Maybe you forget a task. Maybe you miss a material. Maybe your estimator spends 45 minutes rebuilding something that already existed.

Multiply that by every new job, every week, every month. For contractors running 10, 20, or 50 active projects, that’s hundreds of hours a year spent on setup that adds zero value.

Cloning fixes this. When you clone a project in Projul, every task, every estimate line item, every schedule entry comes with it. Your team isn’t retyping. They’re reviewing and adjusting, which takes minutes instead of hours.

Contractors using Projul report saving 2+ hours daily on administrative work. A big chunk of that comes from cloning. When your estimator can duplicate a proven estimate in 30 seconds instead of rebuilding it in 30 minutes, that time goes back into winning more bids and managing more jobs.

And it’s not just about speed. Cloning reduces mistakes. When you start from a proven template instead of a blank page, you don’t forget the dumpster rental or leave out the final inspection task. Your projects start clean and complete every time.

What You Can Clone in Projul

Projul doesn’t limit cloning to just projects. You can clone individual pieces and mix them together however you need.

Full projects. Save any completed or active project as a template. The next time a similar job comes in, clone the whole thing. Tasks, schedule, estimate, steps, and assignments all carry over. Assign it to the new client, pick your start date, and you’re running.

Estimates. This is where contractors save the most time. Save your best estimates as templates, labor, materials, hard costs, margins, and all. When a new bid comes in, clone the closest estimate, adjust the quantities, and send it out. No more rebuilding a 50-line estimate from memory.

Estimate sections. Projul goes a step further and lets you save individual sections of an estimate as templates. Got a standard electrical rough-in section? A standard finish carpentry section? Save each one separately and mix and match them to build a detailed estimate in under a minute. This is huge for contractors who do varied work but have repeatable components.

Schedules. Save a schedule as a template and apply it to any new job. Pick the start date and Projul automatically slides every task to the right dates. You choose whether to keep the same crew assignments or swap in different workers for the new job.

Tasks. Individual tasks and task groups can be saved and reused across projects. If you have a standard punch list or a standard closeout process, save it once and drop it into every job.

How Cloning Works, Step by Step

Setting up cloning in Projul is simple. Here’s the process:

1. Build your first project the right way. Put in the time on your first kitchen remodel, your first reroof, your first bathroom gut. Get the estimate right, the schedule dialed, and the tasks organized.

2. Save it as a template. One click saves the whole project, or just the estimate, or just the schedule. Name it something obvious like “Standard Kitchen Remodel” or “3-Day Reroof.”

3. Clone it when the next similar job comes in. Select your template, assign the new client, pick the start date, and Projul builds the project for you. All the tasks, materials, and schedule entries are there.

4. Tweak the details. Every job is a little different. Swap out the countertop material, adjust the square footage, change a couple task dates. But you’re editing, not creating from scratch. That’s the difference.

5. Start working. Your crew sees the tasks on their phones. Your client gets a polished estimate. Your schedule is set. And you spent five minutes on setup instead of an hour.

Clone Estimates and Convert Them to Tasks

Here’s a workflow that saves contractors serious time. Build an estimate using your cloned template, get it approved by the client, then convert that estimate directly into project tasks with a couple of clicks.

That means the line items in your estimate become the tasks your crew works from. No re-entering the scope of work. No miscommunication between what was estimated and what gets built. The estimate and the project stay connected from bid to completion.

This is especially useful for GCs who need to keep their estimates and project plans aligned. When a change order comes through, you update the estimate and the tasks reflect the change. Everything stays in sync.

Cloning for Different Trades

Different trades get different benefits from cloning. Here’s how contractors across the industry use it:

Remodelers build templates for kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, and additions. Each template includes trade-specific tasks, standard material lists, and typical timelines. A new kitchen job goes from “just sold” to “fully scheduled” in under five minutes.

Roofers clone estimates by roof type and size. A standard shingle tear-off and replace has the same materials and labor every time. Clone the estimate, adjust the square footage, and the bid is ready.

HVAC contractors template their install schedules and equipment lists. When a new system install comes in, they clone the closest template and swap in the specific equipment model. The schedule and tasks are already set.

GCs running multiple subdivisions clone entire projects for each lot. Same floorplan, same schedule, same subs. Clone it, assign the lot number, and the project is ready to manage.

Stop Rebuilding. Start Cloning.

Every hour your team spends rebuilding projects from scratch is an hour they could spend on billable work, client communication, or winning new bids. Projul’s cloning tools turn repetitive setup into a few clicks.

Save your best estimates as templates. Clone your proven schedules. Reuse your most efficient project structures. That’s how contractors scale without adding office staff.

Cloned projects land ready to manage inside Projul’s project management tools with tasks, schedules, and crew assignments intact. Your team picks up where the template left off and starts working immediately.

Over 5,000 contractors already use Projul to clone their way to faster project setup. Plans start at $399/month with no per-user fees, so your whole team benefits from every template you build.
