Property maintenance
From site notes to quotes and job paperwork.
Site photos, notes, estimates, quotes and job documents were ending up in different places. I built one system to keep them together.
The business is not named here. Its owner is testing the system on real work.
The problem
Photos, notes, voice messages, specifications and estimating sheets were spread across WhatsApp and Google Drive. People had to copy the same details more than once. When something changed, the quote and the job paperwork could fall out of step.
What I built
The system works with the Google tools the business already uses. Photos and notes help build the list of work to price. It keeps the accepted quote on record and records any extra work separately, so the paperwork reflects what was agreed.
Where AI helps
AI helps turn survey photos, videos, voice notes and written specifications into draft tasks and measurements for the quote. The owner checks them and sets the prices before the system saves a new version of the draft quote. The same checked information then carries through to contractor instructions, payment schedules and draft invoices.
The owner still decides
The owner checks the work, measurements, prices and documents. The system does not approve work or move money. It keeps the information organised while the decisions stay with the person running the job.
