Don't invoice a job that hasn't passed inspection

An electrical contractor tracks crew assignments and inspection status in a shared spreadsheet, so a job sometimes gets marked complete before it's actually passed inspection. Build a system where invoicing is gated on the inspection record, not a manual check.

Inspection status has to be a gate, not a note

When inspection status lives in a spreadsheet cell that someone forgets to update, jobs get billed before they've actually passed. A permit callback then becomes a billing dispute instead of a scheduling task.

Model inspection as a required step the job can't skip past, so a passed inspection is what unlocks invoicing—not a manual double-check.

From estimate to invoice
  1. 1. Estimate is created for a job—service call or project
  2. 2. Crew and materials are assigned once approved
  3. 3. Crew logs work performed against the job
  4. 4. Job is submitted for inspection and status is tracked
  5. 5. Job closes and is invoiced only after passing inspection
Who uses it

Crew lead/electrician

Job details, the materials list, a work log, and an inspection checklist to prepare before scheduling the inspector.

Office/estimator

Crew scheduling across jobs, an inspection status board, and job profitability once labor and materials are logged.

What the system tracks and automates

Records

Customers and properties, jobs, crews, materials, inspections, invoices.

Automations

A job can't invoice until inspection passes, inspection-scheduling reminders, and crew availability conflicts get flagged.

Custom logic

Inspection-gate rules before billing, and permit tracking per jurisdiction.

Platform

Own the application. P2HS runs the platform.

Example build brief

Example prompt
Build an electrical contractor app with estimates, crew and material assignment, work logging, inspection status tracking, and invoicing that's gated on passing inspection.

Scenarios to test in your preview

  • A job must not be marked invoiced before its required inspection is recorded as passed.
  • Reassigning a crew mid-job must preserve the existing work log.
  • A failed inspection must return the job to an open state, not close it.
FAQ

Common questions about electrical contractor software

Who is this for?

Electrical contractors managing crews, materials, and jurisdiction inspections across service calls and projects.

Does this schedule the inspector?

It tracks inspection status and required steps. Start with manually logged inspection results, then connect a jurisdiction's scheduling system if one is available.

Can I track multiple crews at once?

Yes—crews are assigned per job, and the admin schedule view shows assignments and conflicts across all active jobs.
