How to stop extra work evaporating before it's quoted
Your team spots extra work on nearly every job — worn parts, dead plants, jobs outside the contract. Almost none of it gets quoted. That's money left on site.

What to know
2 leaks
Work you never quoted, and work you never billed
Trades forget to quote what they saw. Strata managers do extra work without charging. Roofers lose insurance extras they never logged.
Be honest
Only claim what you photographed
Padding insurance claims gets roofers blacklisted by insurers. The photo is your proof — claim exactly what it shows.

Auto Repair≈30 approvals/mo
Text the customer a photo of the worn part
An approval request with photos of the actual worn component gets answered in minutes and approved at higher value than a phone call that reaches voicemail — and the hoist stops being blocked by a pending decision.
Workshop digital inspections$0 — included
Bought or built separately · 5
Auto Repair≈20 deferred items/mo
Follow up the repairs the customer put off
The brake pads at 40%, the tyres near the markers, the coolant flush deferred — flagged at inspection, photographed, and then forgotten. A follow-up at the sensible interval, with the photo attached, converts because the evidence is theirs.
Inspections + Make.com$9/mo
Electrical≈8/mo spotted
Quote the upgrade you spotted on site
Ceramic fuses, no safety switches, a full board with no spare ways — your techs see it on every second service call and it evaporates in the van. A photo and a one-line note should become a drafted quote by the next morning.
Make.com + job software$9/mo
Landscaping & Lawn Care≈8 spotted/mo
Photograph and quote the extra work you spot
The tired bed, the dead hedge, the broken irrigation — your crew sees it every visit and it evaporates in the trailer. A photo and a one-line note becomes a drafted quote by next morning, sold to a client who already trusts you.

Log every insurance extra and chase it
Every item the first scope missed, logged per claim with status and dollars — recovered supplements are pure margin, and untracked ones simply never get paid.
AccuLynxOn quote (restoration-heavy)
Strata & Owners Corporationevery scheme
Charge for the extra work you already do
Section certificates, extra meetings, insurance claim handling and by-law disputes are schedule-fee work that quietly gets absorbed. A tracked list per scheme of what's in the fee and what isn't turns leakage into billed revenue at contract renewal.

When not to solve this with software
One guide draws the integrity line for the whole cluster.
AI-generated insurance supplements. — roofing guide
Inflated or templated supplements are how roofing companies end up flagged by carriers. Document more than anyone else and claim precisely what the documentation supports — the tool's job is filing evidence, not inventing line items.
