Use AI to create a customized preparation checklist before tackling a complex multi-day plumbing project.
When you're about to start a bigger job—like a full bathroom remodel, repipe, or commercial installation—there are dozens of things to remember: permits, access, shutoffs, materials staging, customer expectations, and coordinating with other trades. It's easy to forget something critical that costs you time or money later. Before you start your next complex project, describe the job to ChatGPT in a few sentences and ask it to build you a custom prep checklist. You'll get a structured list covering logistics, materials, customer communication, site prep, and coordination—all tailored to that specific job. Review it, add anything unique to your situation, and you'll walk onto that job site fully prepared. This takes two minutes and can save you from costly mistakes, forgotten materials, or awkward conversations with customers about things you should have asked up front.

“I'm starting a 3-day bathroom remodel next week—removing old fixtures, installing new shower, vanity, and toilet, running new supply lines and drain for the vanity. The customer is staying in the house during the work. Create a detailed preparation checklist covering: materials and tools I'll need, things to discuss with the customer before starting, site prep and protection, coordination with other trades, and potential complications to plan for.”
