For electricians
Quoting software for electricians and electrical contractors
Fault finding this morning, a board quote owed by tonight. QuoteGlide turns the notes you take at the job into a draft quote priced from your own rates and parts, then follows it up while you are out on the next call.
Free plan available. No credit card required.
Electrical work gets quoted in two halves that never happen at the same time. You look at the job between two other calls, and you write it up in the evening from a photo of a board and three lines in a notebook.
By then the detail has gone soft. How many points, which way the run goes, what was said about the kitchen, whether the certificate was mentioned. The quote gets written cautiously, and a cautious quote either loses the job or costs you the difference on the day.
QuoteGlide takes the notes while the job is still in front of you. Speak them into your phone and the AI composer turns them into a draft quote priced from the rates and parts in your own services list.
The parts of an electrical quote it keeps hold of
The composer works from what you describe, which for this trade usually includes:
- Circuits and points: a new circuit, extra sockets, switches and light fittings, counted as you called them out.
- Board work: a consumer unit or panel upgrade, and the isolation and downtime it needs.
- Larger installs as their own line: a rewire, an EV charger, an outside supply.
- Fault finding and call-outs at your hourly or minimum charge.
- Testing and certification as a visible line, so it reads as part of the job rather than as an extra afterwards.
- Parts at your prices, kept apart from labour.
- Access and making good: lifting boards, chasing walls, and exactly where your work stops.
- Exclusions, written down: appliance connection, builder's work, anything behind a wall nobody has opened yet.
Quote it while the board is still open
Stand at the board and talk. Consumer unit swap, six ways used and two spare. Kitchen ring extended, four extra doubles. Six downlights in the hall on a new switch drop. Test and certificate at the end, two days on site.
The draft is written by the time you are back in the van, with the parts and the labour split the way you price them. You check it, add the exclusions you always add, and it goes out the same day instead of at the weekend.
A worked example: a board swap and kitchen sockets
Spoken at the board, in the words an electrician would use.
Flat for the Reeses. Consumer unit swap, six ways used and two spare. Extend the kitchen ring, four extra double sockets. Six downlights in the hall on a new switch drop. Test and certificate at the end. Two days on site at 460 a day, parts 780. No plastering or making good, and I am not connecting the new oven.
The draft that comes back
- Consumer unit swap, 8 way
- Included
- Kitchen ring extended, 4 double sockets
- Included
- Hall downlights on a new switch drop, 6 points
- Included
- Testing and certificate
- Included
- Labour, 2 days at $460
- $920
- Parts and materials
- $780
- Excluded: plastering and making good, oven connection
- Not quoted
- Draft total
- $1,700
The two figures are the two that were spoken. The certificate is a visible line rather than a surprise on the invoice, and the exclusions are on the document, which is where the question about who is filling the chase gets settled.
Your rates and your parts prices
QuoteGlide does not guess what a job should cost. It uses the rates, services and prices supplied by the business and asks for confirmation when information is missing or uncertain.
It does not price a circuit for you, look up what a board costs this month, or estimate how long a fault will take to find. Where a job has an unknown in it, quote the part you know and state what you have assumed: assumptions and exclusions are their own lines on the draft.
Variations and the second visit
Electrical jobs change once the boards come up. When one does, revise the quote and send the new version: your customer's link always shows the latest one, and the earlier versions stay on the record.
The chasing runs itself in the meantime. Reminders go out around days 3, 7 and 14 under your business name and stop the moment the customer accepts, declines or asks a question, and the quote's timeline shows you when it was opened.
