Brief contractors on repairs clearly

The problem

Vague repair requests get vague quotes and return visits. A clear brief gets comparable quotes and the job done first time.

What AI does

AI turns a tenant's repair report, stripped of personal details, into a clear brief you can send to several contractors so their quotes are comparable. You choose qualified, registered trades for gas and electrical work.

Time

Time: 15 minutesTools: ChatGPT, Gemini

The steps, in short

  1. Start from the tenant's description and pictures, minus personal details.
  2. Get the tenant's agreement before sharing any contact details for access.
  3. Have AI write a clear repair brief.
  4. Give every contractor an identical brief and compare quotes against it.

A short sample prompt

Turn this repair report into a clear brief for contractors, covering the problem, where it is, how urgent it is, access and how I want the quote set out. Report (personal details removed): [paste]
