Job site sketchpad · JobWorks365

The sketchpad that doesn't lose your job sketches

Draw a site plan, mark up a photo, or rough out a layout on your phone at the job. It saves to that job automatically, so it's still there next month, next season, whenever you need it.

In short

JobWorks365's sketchpad is a drawing tool built into the app so you can sketch a site plan, mark fence lines, or note where a client wants something installed — right from the job itself. Every sketch is saved to that job's file permanently, so unlike a photo in your camera roll or a napkin drawing, it's never lost and it's always attached to the right customer and job.

The problem this solves

✕Site plans and markups drawn on paper, then lost in the truck or a jacket pocket.
✕Sketches saved to your phone's camera roll where they get buried in a thousand other photos.
✕"Where did we agree the deck line goes?" three months later, with nothing to point to.
✕Drawing a layout for the crew and having to re-explain it verbally on-site because the sketch didn't make it to them.

How it works

Built for the day-to-day of a small contractor crew.

Draw right on the job

Open a job on your phone or tablet and start sketching — freehand lines, shapes, and notes, right where the rest of that job's information lives.

Mark up photos

Take a photo of the site and draw straight on top of it — circle the panel, mark where the line runs, point out the damage.

Saved to the job, permanently

Every sketch attaches to the job it was made on. No separate app, no camera roll archaeology — it's right there with the quotes, invoices and messages.

Share with the client or the crew

Send a sketch through the client portal so there's no confusion about scope, or share it with whoever's working the job that day.

Works from your phone

No tablet or stylus required — sketch with your finger standing in the yard or the basement, then keep working.

One record of what was agreed

When a client says "that's not what we talked about," pull up the sketch instead of relying on memory.

Who uses this

General contractors: Rough floor plans and room layouts before a formal drawing exists.

Landscapers: Sketch bed lines, fence placement and drainage direction on a site photo.

Electricians: Mark where outlets, panels or fixtures go before running wire.

Roofers: Note damaged sections and slope changes directly on a roof photo.

HVAC: Sketch ductwork runs and equipment placement for a quote or install crew.

Handymen: Quick diagrams for multi-step jobs so nothing gets built the wrong way round.

Why a sketch beats a paragraph of notes

A lot of what gets agreed on a job site doesn't translate well into words. "The fence goes about ten feet off the garage, angled toward the oak tree" is a paragraph a client can misremember. A quick sketch with an arrow and a measurement isn't. JobWorks365's sketchpad is built for that gap — the things that are obvious when you're standing there and easy to dispute later.

It lives inside the job, not in a separate drawing app you have to remember to open, export, and attach somewhere. Draw it, and it's saved with the rest of that job's record — same place as the quote, the contract, and the photos.

It never gets lost

Paper sketches get left in the truck. Photos of whiteboard drawings get buried three thousand photos deep in a camera roll. JobWorks365 saves every sketch to the job it belongs to, permanently, so you can find it the same way you'd find last year's invoice for that address — by pulling up the job.

Tied to the job: not a generic file, so there's no guessing which sketch belongs to which client.
Available to your crew: whoever's assigned to the job can see it on their phone on site.
Shareable with the client through the client portal when scope needs to be crystal clear.

Part of the same app you already use for quotes and jobs

The sketchpad isn't a bolt-on tool — it's built into the same JobWorks365 app you use for quotes, scheduling and invoicing. It's included on every paid plan, with no extra per-user fee for using it.
