What the free template includes
Everything a working work order needs: automatic WO numbering that picks up where your last one left off, issue/needed/completed dates, a four-level priority, requester and assignee, location and asset fields, a description sized for symptom-and-fix write-ups, a parts and materials table, a labor hours table, tax, notes, and an authorization signature block. The PDF is generated as real vector text — it prints sharp and stays legible when a property manager forwards it as a phone photo.
Prefer paper or your own software? The printable pack has the same form as blank Word, Excel, and PDF files, plus a work order log spreadsheet for tracking numbers across the whole team. And if your work has a trade's shape to it, the trade templates preload realistic jobs — maintenance, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, auto repair, and IT.
FAQ
What's the catch with the free work order template?
There isn't one worth hiding: the online generator is fully free with a small credit line on the PDF (optional Pro removes it), and the printable Word/Excel/PDF pack unlocks with your email address. No accounts, no trial timers, no feature walls on the actual form.
Which format should I start with?
If you want a finished document, use the online generator — it numbers the WO, does the parts and labor math, and outputs a clean PDF. If your techs fill forms by hand on a clipboard, take the printable PDF. Word and Excel suit teams that customize fields.
Can I put my company logo on the free template?
Yes — upload it in the generator's company section and it renders in the document header and the downloaded PDF. The Word template also has a header area where a logo drops in.
Is the free template suitable for commercial use?
Yes. Use it in your business, for client work, for your whole crew. You may not resell the files themselves as templates, but every normal business use is exactly what they're for.
