Installation Quote Photo Checklist

Select your trade to get a specific list of photos to request from customers before quoting — with a clear explanation of why each one matters.

Why photos matter so much for installation quotes

For most installation jobs, a photo can replace an entire pre-quote site visit. A good photo of the space answers the most common sizing questions — wall type, clearances, access constraints, structural context — in seconds.

Without photos, your team either has to schedule a site visit before quoting (adds time and cost) or go back-and-forth asking questions over email (slow, frustrating for both sides).

The businesses that get photos upfront quote faster, close more jobs, and waste less time on leads that turn out to be out of scope. The key is asking for them at the point of enquiry — not as an afterthought.

FAQ

How do I get customers to actually send photos?

The best approach is to ask for photos as early as possible in the process — ideally in the original quote form. Frame it as 'so we can give you an accurate price without needing a site visit first'. Most customers are happy to share photos when they understand the benefit.

Can I share this checklist with my customers?

Yes. Use the 'Copy for customers' button to copy the formatted checklist, then paste it into your email, auto-reply or enquiry confirmation message.

What if customers say they can't take good photos?

Keep it simple. Most customers have a smartphone with a reasonable camera. If a customer is struggling, ask for one wide-angle photo of the full space first — that alone is usually enough to start the conversation.
