Jobsworth vs Tradify
Compare how Jobsworth and Tradify handle extra work, customer approval and drawing records.
Keep extra work tied to the original agreement
A £2,000 Project needs another £350 of work.
In Jobsworth, record the discovery, prepare a separate Variation and retain the customer’s response against the exact proposal. Acceptance adjusts the affected Project agreement while preserving the original offer.
Select accepted additions when preparing the Invoice.
Tradify’s documented approach handles variations through separate Jobs or Job Tasks, with costs allocated and invoiced separately. Both approaches support extra work. The comparison is how you find the agreed scope, approval history and amount still to bill.
Keep drawing discussions on the correct revision
Keep PDF files and drawing records on the Project in Jobsworth. Existing drawing records retain their revisions, marks and comments.
Comments on revision A stay attached to A when you review revision B.
Tradify documents files attached to Job notes. The reviewed guidance does not establish an equivalent revision-specific drawing discussion workflow. Check this in a demonstration if plans are central to your work.
