Having a completion checklist is definitely a good idea. Especially if you're working long, high stress days. It can provide some additional peace of mind that you didn't overlook anything or miss a step somewhere.

If you include start and stop times for each step and the task as a whole it could also provide a source of data for estimating how long similar jobs in the future might take.

Yeah general times would help with bidding too. Great suggestion.
