Controls & low voltage · Job management
The controls and low-voltage job, start to paid, on one record.
Job management for controls and low-voltage contractors: the timeline, photos, change orders, and progress payments on the same record the board runs on, so nothing about the job lives in a text thread.
The work
The jobs that need a record.
01
The phased install
Rough-in, trim, commission: days and crews tracked on the job today, with photos and notes accumulating where the walls will close. Phase tracking arrives with Projects (Next).
02
The service call
A reader offline or a camera dark, dispatched with the site’s install history: what was run, where it lands, who commissioned it.
03
The retrofit
Small works and upgrades quoted from the book and scheduled between project days, not lost behind them.
Why it matters
The argument, in three rows.
One record, end to end
When the scope, the money, and the paperwork live in different places, things fall through. Here they are one object with one history.
Change orders that bill themselves
Added scope is captured on site, approved by the customer (optionally signed) and the approved amount rolls into the revised contract value automatically.
Proof, not a pile of notes
Photos, checklists, and signatures attach to the job as it runs. Closeout means billing-ready documentation, not an archaeology project.
Controls & low voltage · Job management
Built where the floor is torn up.
Phases, crews, and materials tracked from the same record the same-day board runs on.
The old way
What the group text costs.
The punch list lives in a text thread
Items agreed on a walkthrough vanish into phones. A punch item that is not on a record is a callback with your margin attached.
The change order never gets billed
Extra drops added in a hallway conversation are real cost. Unwritten, they are a donation to the GC.
The closeout binder eats a week
Photos, test results, and as-built notes captured on the job as it runs mean closeout is an export, not an archaeology dig.
Up close
How it runs.
01
Progress payments
Deposits, milestone draws, and retainage: the long job billed by stage, from the same record that runs it.
02
Field forms
Custom checklists, inspections, and sign-offs built by you, captured on the job, enforced before closeout where you say so.
03
Made for the whole team
The tech sees the work, the office sees the money, the owner sees the risk (schedule drift, missing proof, margin pressure) without asking anyone.
Straight answers
What controls and low-voltage contractors ask.
What does Thorbis cost for controls and low-voltage contractors?
$99 per company per month, unlimited people, every module as it releases. Plus metered usage. $15 included each month. Nothing on this page is a tier.
Is job management a separate module?
No. Jobs & work orders is in Core, on the same record as the board, the estimate, and the invoice, so the controls and low-voltage job never leaves the system it started in.
Is it built for controls and low-voltage contractors specifically?
The record is the same for every trade; what changes is the work on it. For controls and low-voltage contractors that means the phased install, the service call, and the retrofit, which is the day this page is written around, and the sample rows on it are controls and low-voltage jobs.
Can I bill a job in stages?
Yes. Progress payments cover deposits, milestones, and retainage instead of one invoice at the end.
How do change orders work?
Capture the added scope, get customer approval (with a signature if you want one), and the approved amount rolls into the revised contract value.
Can I build my own forms?
Yes. Custom field forms are captured on the job record and can be required before closeout.
