You can **standardize contracts and proposals for small renovations** by creating approved templates for each type of job, filling them with data from the client and estimate records, reviewing them before sending and keeping every signed version linked to the project.

In **Jestor**, proposals and contracts are generated from project data and stored with the client record.

## Why do small renovation contracts vary so much?

Small renovation companies often reuse old documents, editing them by hand for each client. Clauses change without anyone noticing.

Important terms, such as payment milestones or change order rules, are missing in some contracts.

When disputes arise, the company discovers that the contract does not protect it.

## What problems does standardization solve?

- Missing or inconsistent clauses
- Time spent editing old documents
- Errors in client data or prices
- No record of which version was signed
- Slow proposals that lose clients

## How do I standardize documents in Jestor?

1. **Create approved templates** for proposals and contracts by job type.
2. **Store templates** in Jestor Docs.
3. **Fill documents** with data from the client, estimate and milestones.
4. **Review** with a simple approval step before sending.
5. **Attach the signed version** to the project record.

| Document section   | Data source            |
| ------------------ | ---------------------- |
| Client details     | Client record          |
| Scope and price    | Approved estimate      |
| Payment milestones | Milestone table        |
| Change order rules | Standard template text |

## Who should approve the template text?

Contract templates should be reviewed by your legal advisor before use.

Once approved, the team only fills the variable data, which reduces risk.
