Who this template is for
Work Order Authorization is built for builders, electricians, plumbers and contractors who need to scope a job and price it without a site visit for every enquiry.
- Builders, electricians, plumbers and contractors working in home services & trades.
- Teams who need to scope a job and price it without a site visit for every enquiry without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing quoting blind and travelling out for work that never lands with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are homeowners and site managers — the form asks them 12 questions across 1 screen.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of quoting blind and travelling out for work that never lands and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 9 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It captures a full postal address.
- It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
- Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Payment terms” is Deposit and balance, the form dynamically exposes “Deposit amount”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features conditional validation: if “Payment terms” is Deposit and balance, “Deposit amount” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Estimated cost” is greater than 5000, the form dynamically exposes “Second approver email”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features conditional validation: if “Estimated cost” is greater than 5000, “Second approver email” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form
Is an electronic signature valid here?
In most jurisdictions a typed name plus a drawn signature and a timestamp is accepted for service work. Check your local rules for high-value contracts.
What if the price changes mid-job?
Issue a new authorisation for the variation rather than amending this one; the trail should show both figures.
Do I need this if I already sent a quote?
A quote is your offer. This is the customer's acceptance, with terms attached — that is the part disputes turn on.
What follows it?
The Job Completion Sign-Off Form, which closes the same job number with photos and a satisfaction rating.

Yes. You can preview and test Work Order Authorization on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
