01
Residential service
Panel and service upgrades, EV chargers, whole-home surge, quoted from the assembly book in the driveway.
02
Commercial TI
Rough-in, trim, and final on one job with progress billing today. Phases with their own labor and material budgets, billed on AIA G702/G703 draws, when Projects ships (Next).
03
New construction
Estimate to final inspection on one record: permits, inspections, and phase billing coordinated.
04
The safety record
Lockout/tagout, arc-flash assessment, PPE photo, signature. The job does not close without them.

The board
Mike should not be a line item.
The electrical day on one board the office runs and the trucks read.
The old way
What the whiteboard costs electrical contractors.
Safety lives in binders
Checklists on paper cannot stop a job from closing without them. A record can.
Costing lands after the overrun
Budget versus actual that arrives at month end is a report, not a decision.
The aging panel is flagged and forgotten
Techs see the upgrade on site; without a record it never becomes a proposal.

Is this comparison current?
