Tradie Forms: open the NSW CCEW online form, describe the job in plain language with Fill with AI, then check every field before you download the official PDF layout. For more help, read the Fill with AI guide or the feature page.
Most CCEW delay happens after the board work is done. You are at the ute with the customer waiting, retyping the site address, customer name, and test details you already had in your notes. Fill with AI is built for that moment: talk or paste the job details, let supported fields fill, then review the form like any other draft before export.
Use the NSW CCEW template and the NSW electrical hub for related forms and guides.
When Fill with AI helps on a CCEW
A CCEW pulls together customer details, installation address, scope of work, test results, and licence information. On a busy day you might have:
- A voice memo from the switchboard walk-through
- The customer name and site address in a ServiceM8 or Fergus job note
- A photo of the job card on the dash
- Handwritten readings you want typed once
Fill with AI reads that context in the chat panel and maps it to supported fields in the guided form. It knows the CCEW field names and sections because it runs inside the template, not in a generic AI window.
Typical wins:
- Customer and installation address from one plain-language message
- Test date from wording like "tested today" or "tested last Tuesday"
- Saved licence or business details when you ask the assistant to apply a saved block
Step-by-step on site
- Open the NSW CCEW from your hub or a saved draft.
- Tap Fill with AI in the toolbar (Solo or Team).
- Describe the job: site, customer, work summary, and test timing in everyday words. You can also dictate with voice input, check the transcript, then send.
- Optional: attach a photo of the job sheet if the handwriting is clear.
- Watch supported fields fill, then scroll the form yourself. Fix anything that looks wrong.
- Ask for Review my form or use the form review tool so missing required fields surface before export.
- Preview the PDF on the official layout, then download when you are satisfied.
That last step matters. Fill with AI is a draft assistant. You remain responsible for the certificate.
What to double-check on every CCEW
AI fill is fast, but it can still miss context. Before you hand the PDF to the customer:
- Installation address matches the switchboard, not an old job
- Customer name matches the job card and your records
- Licence numbers match your current credentials
- Test results and circuit descriptions reflect what you actually measured
- Signatures are yours, applied on the form where required
If a field is wrong, edit it manually or ask the assistant to correct that specific field. Do not export until the guided form validation is clean and the PDF preview looks right.
What Fill with AI does not do on a CCEW
Keep expectations straight so the tool stays trustworthy:
- It does not lodge the CCEW with NSW eCert or Service NSW for you
- It does not decide whether the installation complies
- It does not sign on your behalf or attach compliance photos to form photo fields
- It does not replace your test instruments or on-site verification
Turn it off under Settings -> Features if you prefer to fill manually.
Pair Fill with AI with saved details and job imports
On Solo and Team, the same form session can also:
- Apply saved details for your business and licence blocks
- Import customer, site, and job number from ServiceM8, Fergus, or Xero on supported fields
Fill with AI can apply saved blocks when you ask. That cuts repeat typing across certs on the same account or shared workspace.
