Proof: 6 industry templates with numbered folders used by project managers, contractors, and legal teams
Start every project with the right folder structure — choose your project type, name your root folder, and export in the format your team needs.
- 6 project templates covering construction, legal, creative, software, real estate, and event planning
- Numbered folder prefixes (00-, 01-, 02-...) keep folders sorted by workflow phase, not alphabetically

- Copy as plain text or Markdown to paste into Notion, Confluence, or your team wiki
Every project starts with someone creating folders. Most people wing it, end up with inconsistent structures across projects, and waste time reorganizing later. These templates encode how experienced project managers, attorneys, and contractors actually organize their work.

Why starting with the right folder structure matters
Start organized from day one
Project folders created ad-hoc grow into a mess of "New Folder (3)" and "Misc." Starting with a template means every document has a home before it exists.
Save setup time
A shell script creates 40+ folders in under a second. No clicking through Explorer or Finder to build the hierarchy manually. Run it once and move on to the actual work.
Team consistency
When every project uses the same numbered folder structure, anyone on the team can find any file without asking where it lives. Onboarding new people is instant.
Auto-sort files into your new folder structure
You built the structure. Renamed.to watches your folders and files incoming documents into the right place automatically — submittals to the right phase, contracts to Admin, inspection reports to Quality. Works with Google Drive, Dropbox, and desktop uploads.

Frequently asked questions
What project types are included?
Six templates: Construction Project, Legal Case, Creative/Marketing Campaign, Software Development, Real Estate Transaction, and Event Planning. Each includes numbered top-level folders with relevant subfolders based on industry standards.
How do I use the shell script on Mac or Linux?
Download the .sh file, open Terminal, navigate to where you want the folders, run chmod +x setup.sh to make it executable, then run ./setup.sh. All folders are created instantly using mkdir -p.
Does the batch file work on Windows?
Yes. The .bat file uses standard mkdir commands compatible with Windows 10, 11, and Windows Server. Double-click the file or run it from Command Prompt in the directory where you want the folders.
Can I customize the folder names?
The tool generates a starting template. After downloading, edit the script in any text editor to add, remove, or rename folders before running it. The text and Markdown exports are also fully editable.
Is this tool free?
Yes. The Project Kickoff Folder Kit is completely free with no signup, no email gate, and no usage limits. All exports are available without restrictions.
