# How Internal Projects Differ From Regular Projects

## Summary

Internal projects in BuilderPal are private, team-only workspaces for non-client tasks like training or internal operations, while regular projects are designed for client-facing construction jobs with features for subcontractor collaboration and bidding.

## Why it Matters?
Internal projects keep team operations secure and organized, reducing risk, while regular projects enable efficient sub bidding and sharing without full access.
