Use AI to create a pre-bid walkthrough checklist so you ask the right questions and catch hidden issues.
Before you quote a big job, walking through the site with a solid checklist helps you catch potential surprises—outdated panels, access issues, code violations, or hidden damage. Missing these during your walkthrough can wreck your profit margin later. Instead of trying to remember everything or using the same generic mental checklist, ask AI to build you a custom walkthrough guide based on the specific job type. You'll show up organized, ask better questions, and write more accurate quotes that protect your time and money. Just tell the AI what kind of job you're bidding on—rewiring a basement, upgrading a service panel, wiring a commercial kitchen—and it'll give you a detailed list of things to check, questions to ask the customer, and potential red flags to watch for. Print it, save it on your phone, or just glance at it before you walk in. It takes two minutes to generate and can save you from costly surprises down the road.
