Hand written certs

[Lilyrose08]

Hi All, anyone still using hand written certs, I have currently gone back to them as I found that I was doing them in rough on site and then having to type out about 5 certs on my laptop on the weekend. Don't like taking my laptop to work anymore worried about having it nicked out the van or getting it damaged on site. Is there any software like PIR form u can use on your iphone or any smart phone. any suggestions please

this and only this.

printed certs look like your estimated gas bill
written certs have an air of thoughtfulness , care , and authenticity about them.

god damn apps , short-cuts for the lazy and slack-jawwed if you ask me ,and if you dont ask me i'm still ranting about it anyway.

are in most cases generally illegible and look like a spider has crawled across the page

Having put so much care into the job why not finish it off with a printed cert that for me looks much more professional

its a bit of vague sweeping generalisation to infer all hand-written reports are poor based on the few you've seen...

Nothing vague about the truth and for your information I have seen more than a few hundred certs that are barely readable and the only thoughtfulness they show are the crossed out errors or tippexed corrections

Inc pat you can do them on your phone or iPad.

Just brought it I just what I need and well priced! What do u think of it ?

I have to agree with biff here, handwritten every time for me. I believe they look more professional and genuine, and mine are always perfectly readable! Just my preference. Feel free to criticise all you want!

i rough em on the job....
then when i gets home i make em out neat n tidy like...
and it works another way as well does this:
you can tell them you intend to offer them a neat, tidy cert without any grubby paw prints, dust n crap on it....all properly legible...
but of course they dont get it until cash changes hands....

I use Formfill on the iPad but I have only experience of Minor Works because I am not clever enough for other jobs. Its very easy though and they look ok.
