How to stop extra work evaporating before it's quoted

Your team spots extra work on nearly every job — worn parts, dead plants, jobs outside the contract. Almost none of it gets quoted. That's money left on site.

What to know

Capture it the moment you see it

A photo on the job card, then an automatic follow-up quote. Auto shops text the photo straight to the customer — most say yes in minutes.

Work you never quoted, and work you never billed

Trades forget to quote what they saw. Strata managers do extra work without charging. Roofers lose insurance extras they never logged.

Only claim what you photographed

Padding insurance claims gets roofers blacklisted by insurers. The photo is your proof — claim exactly what it shows.

How to implement this today

  1. 1

    Make the rule today: see extra work, photograph it, put it on the job card.

  2. 2

    Set a weekly slot where every flagged photo becomes a quote — or automate the follow-up with a $9/mo trigger.

  3. 3

    Auto shops: send the photo straight to the customer as an approval request.

  4. 4

    Only quote or claim what the photo shows.

Inflated or templated supplements are how roofing companies end up flagged by carriers. Document more than anyone else and claim precisely what the documentation supports — the tool's job is filing evidence, not inventing line items.
