Write the finish schedule someone can use
Record the product, color, surface and finish, and distinguish approved choices from open questions. White from that text is a risky amount of detail to leave with the person buying paint.
| Area | Useful job detail |
|---|---|
| Living room walls | Record the approved product, color and finish together. |
| Trim | Keep its specification separate from the wall paint. |
| Spare room | Mark an undecided choice as pending, with a person responsible for confirming it. |
Give preparation and the final check real tasks
Put the prep, painting stages and final walk-through in the project. Save the familiar steps as a template, then adjust for the surfaces and scope of this job. A new room can change more than the date you finish.
Use crew schedules for the people and the map for project locations. Detailed material calculations and estimates belong in your estimating process; BizzyBot keeps the agreed work organized.
Older buildings need a separate check
EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting program covers certain paid work that disturbs paint in pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities. Covered work can require firm certification, trained people and lead-safe work practices; the rules include exceptions. Check the actual requirements before accepting or starting that work. (EPA: lead-safe renovation, repair and painting requirements)
A note in the project can point to the documents and preparation you have confirmed. It does not establish compliance or turn an ordinary painting checklist into the required training.
Make the touch-up list specific
Give remaining work a clear location and an owner. Check the spare-room door edges is easier to finish than touch-ups. Attach a link to a photo when that explains the issue better than another paragraph.
If you use an internal review Flow, record what was accepted and what needs another pass. Keep the customer's decision separate from the perfectly understandable feeling that everyone would like to go home.
Leave the next visit a clear starting point
Before you pack up, record the remaining work and any customer decision still needed. A photo link and a specific note can save the next person a call from the driveway.
When the work is finished, the QuickBooks Online connection lets the owner prepare an invoice from saved work. Check the invoice details in the accounting process you already use.

Questions & answers
Can I keep approved paint choices with the project?
Yes. Use the project notes and linked documents to record the product, color, finish and customer decision. Keep pending choices clearly marked.
Does BizzyBot calculate paint quantities or estimates?
No. Use your estimating process for quantities and prices. Put the confirmed scope and work plan in BizzyBot.
Does a form response count as a contract change?

What's the difference between owners, teammates and light users?
Owner: $12/month. The person who runs the business workspace, manages billing and decides who gets access.
Teammates: $6 per person, per month. They create or change projects, tasks, schedules and events, and use the calendars. Their permissions decide what they can change.
Light users: $0 per person, per month. They can view schedules and the jobs they're assigned to in the owner's workspace. People who edit that work need a teammate seat.
