Use AI to review your plumbing estimates and quotes to spot missing costs before sending them out.
Before you send that quote to a customer, paste it into ChatGPT and ask it to act as a skeptical homeowner or property manager reviewing it for gaps. AI can spot missing line items you might have overlooked — like disposal fees, trip charges, permit costs, or labour for unexpected complications.
