What this report covers

A kitchen walkthrough is mostly turning things on. Run every appliance, open every drawer and look under the sink with water running. Small fixes found now are a quick visit; found later, they are a callback with a frustrated customer.

How to use it

For each item, mark it OK, Needs attention or Not inspected, and add a short note where it helps. "Not inspected" with a reason protects you better than a blank line. Print it or save it as a PDF and send it to the customer with your photos.

With Koira: Customer portal

Every Koira customer gets one link: the estimate, the photos, the invoice and the payment in one place, so the walkthrough notes and the final bill are where the customer can find them.
