Fire & life safety · Job management
The fire and life-safety job, start to paid, on one record.
Job management for fire and life-safety 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 inspection cycle
Annuals, semi-annuals, and monthlies per property, scheduled from the record, with photos, findings, and signatures captured where the equipment hangs.
02
The deficiency
A failed head or a dead battery becomes a quote before the tech leaves the site, and a scheduled repair the moment the building approves it.
03
The service call
Trouble signals and damaged equipment between cycles, dispatched with the property’s full inspection history in the tech’s hand.
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.
Fire & life safety · 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 paper trail is the product
This trade sells documentation. When it lives in binders and truck cabs, the thing you sell is the thing you cannot find.
Deficiencies die in the truck
A finding that never becomes a quote is revenue left on the wall, and a hazard left with your company’s name on the tag.
The cycle slips
A missed annual is a lost contract and an exposed building. Due dates belong on a board, not in someone’s head.
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 fire and life-safety contractors ask.
What does Thorbis cost for fire and life-safety 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 fire and life-safety job never leaves the system it started in.
Is it built for fire and life-safety contractors specifically?
The record is the same for every trade; what changes is the work on it. For fire and life-safety contractors that means the inspection cycle, the deficiency, and the service call, which is the day this page is written around, and the sample rows on it are fire and life-safety 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.
