Who this template is for
Handyman Job Request Form 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 16 questions across 3 screens.
- 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.
- 10 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 captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
- It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
- It captures a full postal address.
- It allows multiple selections without free text.
- Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features advanced show logic: if “How urgent is this?” is Emergency — same day, the form dynamically exposes “Can someone be at the property within two hours?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Do you already have the parts or materials?” is No, the form dynamically exposes “Would you like us to supply materials?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Will someone be home during the visit?” is No, the form dynamically exposes “How should we access the property?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.
About this template
Handyman work lives or dies on triage: the difference between a profitable day and a wasted one is knowing, before you load the van, whether the job is a 20-minute fix or a half-day with a trip to the supply house. This form asks what needs doing from a task list you control, how urgent it is, whether the customer already has parts or materials, whether the work is inside or outside, how the property is accessed and whether anyone will be home. Photos are requested for every job because a photo of a leaking shut-off valve tells you more than three paragraphs. Urgent requests branch to a same-day question so genuine emergencies are visible in the inbox, and jobs that mention electrical, gas or structural work trigger a note that a licensed specialist may be required — which protects you from taking on work outside your licence.

Frequently asked questions
How do I stop out-of-scope requests?
The task checkboxes are your scope statement. Anything not listed arrives under 'Something else', which you can route to a polite referral reply.
Should I charge a callout fee?
Most handyman businesses charge a one-hour minimum. State it on the confirmation reply so it is never a surprise on the invoice.
Can property managers use this?
Yes — add a unit number and a tenant contact question and it works as a maintenance request form for a small portfolio.

Emergency submissions expose a two-hour availability question, so you can tell a real emergency from a customer who simply wants it done today.
