Electrical quoting software for electricians and installers

It is software that turns a counted job into a quote the customer can accept: points, circuits and metres as priced lines, materials and labour separated, notification and testing included, exclusions written down, and a signature at the end. ExtraflowDoc does that from the deal the call-out already created, so the quote starts from the address and the notes you took rather than a blank page.

No. ExtraflowDoc performs no load calculation, no diversity, no volt drop or cable sizing, no fault current calculation and no circuit design. It picks up once you already know what you are installing: counting it, pricing it, presenting it and getting it signed. Your design stays where it is today — in your head, in a spreadsheet or in the calculation package you already own.

No, and this is the point worth being clearest about. It does not generate electrical installation certificates, minor works certificates or condition reports, does not record test results, does not notify building control or any scheme provider, and does not track your qualifications or registrations. It is commercial document software: it prices testing and certification as quote lines, and your certification package still issues the certificate.

No. There is no wholesaler connection, so your buying prices do not refresh themselves overnight. What you get instead is a catalogue you control: your own accessories and cable with your real buying price and your selling price, searchable while you build the quote. Prices that are yours rather than a feed's, with the upkeep that implies.

No. There is no built-in library of labour norms or pre-priced items — nothing that tells you a double socket takes 0.4 hours. You bring your own rates, per point or per hour, and the software does the arithmetic on them. If a published price book is what you are after, that is a different product category and this is not it.

Yes, and it is the normal way to build a quote here. Every line carries its own quantity, unit and rate, so twenty-two downlights, nine double sockets and four circuits each sit on their own line and total themselves. You can mix that freely with day-rate lines and lump-sum lines in the same document, which is what most real electrical quotes are.

Yes. Put two or three pricing tables side by side in the same document, each with its own lines and total. The customer picks a scope rather than picking the firm on price alone, and you stop writing the same job out three times every time somebody asks what the bigger version would cost.

Yes, and in this trade they earn their place. A provisional sum line covers what you cannot see until the plaster is off, and a text block lists what you have not allowed for — making good, decorating, asbestos, a board position that turns out to be unworkable. Both are ordinary editor blocks, and both turn a surprise into priced extra work.

Yes. Lines carry their own images, and full-width gallery blocks with captions sit beside the price. A photograph of the old rewireable fuse box you found, next to the line replacing it, justifies the number better than another paragraph of features — and it is also the evidence of how it stood before you touched it.

Yes. It runs in the browser on a phone or tablet with nothing to install, so you can change a quantity in front of the customer and ask for the signature before you leave. Signatures carry email verification, a timestamp and an audit trail, and the status changes when the document is opened and signed.

Yes. A won quote becomes an invoice in one click with every line carried across, and the materials lines raise the order for your wholesaler. The quantities ordered match the ones the customer approved, because they are the same ones — which matters on a job where the margin lives in the materials.

ExtraflowDoc's free plan covers 5 documents a month per company with unlimited users — workable for a one-van firm quoting a handful of jobs a month. Paid plans start at £11.80/month for 20 documents, and because billing is per company rather than per user, putting a second electrician on it does not change the price.
