Schedule an inspection with your whole day in front of you

Your clients have been able to see your real availability for a while now. The booking page never offers a slot that collides with another inspection, lands in your time off, cuts into your lunch, or leaves you no time to drive — that arithmetic has been running on every booking link since the tool shipped.

You couldn't see any of it. Setting a date yourself was a bare calendar and a time dropdown. Whether 11:30 on Thursday was actually free was something you either remembered or found out later.

The day you're booking into

Set date & time now draws it:

• Your other inspections, at the length you've configured, with the drive-time buffer hatched in above and below each one.
• Your time off and recurring blocks — the same ones clients can't book, now visible where you're the one doing the booking.
• Your working hours, with everything outside them hatched out.
• The open gaps long enough to hold a full inspection, outlined and clickable.

The calendar on the left marks every day that already has something on it, and dims the weekdays you don't work, so you can see where your week is thin before you commit to anything.

Getting the inspection in place

Click an open gap and it drops straight in. Click anywhere on the timeline to place it there. Use the Start time menu. Or take the shortcut — Right after 1420 Birch Ct puts you at the end of that job with your buffer already accounted for.

Open the window on a day that's already busy and it won't start you on a collision: it lands on the nearest time that actually fits.

When it doesn't fit

A line under the timeline tells you where you stand, and when something's wrong it says what:

Overlaps your lunch.

Runs past your workday.

Too tight against 1420 Birch Ct — leaves less than 30 min drive time.

Next to it is the nearest time that works — Use 12:30 PM — one click away.

But it's your calendar. The Save button turns amber and still saves. Two inspections on the same block, a Saturday you're making an exception for, an hour you'll make up somewhere — those are decisions, not mistakes, and the app doesn't get a vote.

Also, before it exists

The same window opens from Add Inspection when you choose Pick date & time, so you're scheduling with your week in view from the start rather than booking blind and fixing it afterwards.

One smaller thing came along with it: times are now anchored to the timezone in your scheduling settings rather than whatever your laptop's clock says. If those two differ — you travel, or you set your hours for the market you work in — the window tells you which one it's showing.
