The install can be solid and the job still bites you later. No notification on file. No before after photos. Change orders never written down. Client says they never saw the warranty talk. Invoice sits until someone chases extras from memory.
A short close out list keeps the office and the truck on the same page. You leave site knowing the paperwork path is clear, not hoping someone else will remember Monday morning.
How to use this checklist on a real job
Open it when the job is booked or the morning you roll. Tick as you go. Use the job info block so the sheet matches the site. Before you leave, walk the client section with them if you can.
Print a blank copy for the van or fill on your phone. Share the page link with your crew. When the job is done, save a filled copy to that job in TradeInvoice next to quotes, invoices, and photos.
Canada notes for electrical shops
In Ontario, most electrical work needs a notification of work with the Electrical Safety Authority before you start, then inspection and a certificate of acceptance when that process applies. Other provinces and territories have their own authorities and rules.
This checklist is a field aid for shops. It is not an official ESA form, not a permit application, and not legal advice. Follow your licence, your insurer, and the authority having jurisdiction on that job.
From checklist to quote, invoice, and job photos
TradeInvoice keeps each job in one place. Attach this checklist, drop site photos, send a clean quote, then convert to invoice when the work is done. Free to start. No credit card.
