5 Digital Forms Roofing Contractors Swear By

Thousands of contractors leverage the GoFormz platform to modernize their day-to-day operations

Check out these five digital forms that elevate professionalism, improve operational workflows, and enhance communication between field and office roofing contractor personnel:

Roof Inspection Form
By introducing digital roof inspection forms into your field operations, roofing contractors can drastically improve their customer retention, internal communication, business professionalism, and much more. Digital inspection forms can be equipped with new data types such as Image and Sketch fields to highlight and note any job site concerns for the back-office users. You can even sketch on top of Image fields to annotate photos to point out areas of concern when conducting a roof inspection, resulting in a more thorough report for clients and back-office teams. 

For example, a current GoFormz construction company user, Crux Subsurface Inc., needed a digital document solution to increase job site visibility and monitor field team progress through sharing documents with field and back-office teams. Therefore, they sought out GoFormz to digitize their inspection forms to better communicate the collection of field data by leveraging Image and Sketch fields, resulting in 50% time savings in paperwork processing and an increase in job site transparency.

Change Order Form
The scope of work frequently changes on projects – it’s an unfortunate truth in the construction industry. Therefore, construction change order forms are required when additional services are added to the project and requested by the client. To automate this process, Automatic Calculations can be utilized to reduce human error and generate pricing totals faster for change order approvals. Additionally, when a change order is completed and ready for evaluation, by leveraging Automated Workflows, a form can be automatically routed to a project manager for review, eliminating costly delays in project timelines.  

For example, A.G. Williams Painting Company, Inc., needed to replace manual paper documentation processes with a digital solution to modernize business operations and enhance productivity. Too often, they encountered delays due to lost forms or failure to submit forms in a timely manner. Therefore, they sought out GoFormz to automate their workflows and enhance communication, especially when dealing with change order requests from clients. Digitizing their change order request forms, created an easier process for teammates to request additional services to a project, allowing for a seamless flow of communication and eliminating costly delays in construction project timelines. 

Job Safety Analysis (JSA)
In an industry where safety procedures are imperative for receiving work, job safety analysis forms provide an extra means of safety documentation and job site visibility. With a document so critical, it’s essential to keep the form organized and easy to read. Therefore, Checkbox and Table fields can be used to simplify the process of completing JSA’s while maintaining an organized form structure. 

For example, CONSOR Engineers, a nationally recognized engineering firm that specializes in underwater and wastewater projects, leverages GoFormz for their job safety analysis forms along with dive and maintenance logs. They needed a digital solution to simplify the completion of forms from remote job sites and underwater inspections. By digitizing their job safety analysis forms, they drastically simplified safety and compliance procedures which are imperative for construction companies.

Roof Bid Proposal Form
More than often, owners of projects will request proposals from various subcontractors or general contractors (depending on the scope of work) to decide who will conduct the work for the project. Powerful features like Automatic Calculations and Signatures are powerful features that help eliminate human error and authorize documentation for review. Additionally, Conditional Logic can be leveraged to ensure digital forms are completed thoroughly by making certain fields Required. 

For example, Atlas Acon Electric started off using GoFormz for their work order forms but began to use the platform for project proposal forms after they saw the benefits of digital transformation. By utilizing Automatic Calculations and Signature fields they eliminated lost or misplaced documentation, improved efficiency of completing and submitting forms, and removed opportunities for human error.  

Daily Report Forms
Job site visibility is critical in any construction operation. Drop Down menus used in conjunction with Data Sources allow form users to reference a Database field to auto-populate information, resulting in a quicker means of completing repetitive tasks. This functionality greatly reduces the burden of submitting daily reports, simplifies form completion processes, and eliminates any opportunities for human error.

For example, Central Mechanical Inc. needed a mobile forms solution to help teammates complete and submit forms faster from the field, while eliminating errors. Therefore, they digitized their daily report forms and enriched their digital forms with new data types (Images, Maps, and Sketches) and improved completion and processing times.

All in all, whether you’re a roofing contractor or specialize in another construction craft, the construction industry can benefit from digitizing paper forms.
