What is the Playbook?
The Playbook is your phase-by-phase construction guide. Learn how it works and why it matters.
Overview
The Playbook is the heart of OwnerDraw. It's a structured, phase-by-phase guide that walks you through the entire construction process from start to finish.
How It Differs from a Checklist
A generic checklist tells you what to do. The Playbook tells you **what to do, when to do it, and why it matters**. Each phase includes guidance entries with context about the construction process, tips from experienced builders, and warnings about common mistakes.
Key Benefits
- **Never wonder "what's next?"** — The Playbook always shows your current phase and next steps
- **Construction knowledge built in** — Even if you've never built before, the guidance entries explain industry concepts
- **Bank alignment** — Phases align with typical draw schedules so you know when to request funds
> TIP: The Playbook is not just a to-do list — it's your construction education tool. Read the guidance entries carefully, especially for phases you haven't experienced before.
