Use AI to review your job estimate before sending to catch math errors and scope gaps.
You've written up the estimate, calculated materials, and added your labor. Before you hit send, let AI be your second set of eyes. Paste your draft estimate into ChatGPT and ask it to check for calculation errors, missing line items, unclear descriptions, and anything that might confuse the customer or leave you exposed. AI won't catch everything, but it's faster than re-reading it yourself and often spots things you missed because you're too close to the work.

“Act as an experienced electrical contractor reviewing a colleague's job estimate. I'm going to paste my draft estimate below. Please review it carefully and tell me: (1) Are there any math errors in the calculations or totals? (2) Are there any common materials or tasks that seem missing based on the scope described? (3) Is any wording unclear or confusing for a homeowner? (4) Are there any scope gaps that could lead to disputes or unexpected costs later? (5) Does the estimate protect me legally and set clear expectations? Be specific and helpful. [Paste your draft estimate here]”
