Work Order Generator

Scope it, sign it, work it. No signup.

What this number means

The work order is the tradesman's contract: what's in scope, how many hours, what it costs. Every "while you're here" that isn't on this sheet is a change order — same sheet, new line, new number. It is not bureaucracy; it is the difference between a paid afternoon and a free one.

Keep the hours column honest — it's what you're actually selling. Print two copies, both parties initial, and materials ride on top at cost plus markup.

Questions owners ask

Work order vs estimate — which one?

Estimate first to win the job, work order to define it. The estimate is negotiable; the work order is the scope you both initial.

What if the job runs long?

Change order: add a line with the extra task and hours, both initial it before continuing. Ten seconds of paperwork saves the argument at pickup.
