Use AI to review your job quote for hidden costs and scope gaps before sending to the customer.
Before you send out that quote, let AI be your second pair of eyes to catch what you might have missed. Electricians often underquote jobs because they forget to account for access difficulty, disposal fees, permit costs, or extra materials needed once drywall comes down. A quick AI review can flag missing line items, unclear scope language that leads to disputes, and costs you forgot to include. This takes two minutes and can save you from eating hundreds of dollars on a job. Here's how to do it: First, type or paste your draft quote into ChatGPT or Claude. Then ask AI to review it specifically for missing costs, unclear scope boundaries, and potential customer confusion points. AI will give you a list of questions and gaps to address. Go through each one, update your quote, then paste the revised version back and ask if anything still looks unclear. Finally, make your edits and send a tighter, more profitable quote that protects you from scope creep. This workflow works for any size job—from a simple outlet addition to a full panel upgrade. The key is being specific about what the job involves when you ask AI to review it. The more context you give, the better AI can spot the gaps that cost you money later.
