Before a tradie starts work in your kitchen
A room can look different after tools and materials have moved through it. Keep its starting condition while it is still visible.
Keep with those photos
Keep the quote, scope of work, invoice and written changes beside the photos.
Keptara distinguishes files captured in the app from files added later. Keep the original files and wording whenever they matter.
Use this record in Australia
