Electrical quoting software for electricians and contractors

It is software that turns a counted job into a quote the customer can accept: points, circuits and runs as priced lines, materials and labour kept apart, permits and testing included, exclusions written down, and a signature at the end. ExtraflowDoc does that from the deal the callout 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 calculation, no voltage-drop or cable-sizing maths, no fault-level work and no circuit design of any kind. It takes over once you know what you are installing: counting it, pricing it, presenting it and getting it signed. Your design stays wherever it is now — in your head, in a spreadsheet, or in the calculation software you already own.

No, and this is the one most worth being clear about. It does not generate installation or inspection certificates, does not record test results, does not notify anything to a scheme or a building control body, and holds no record of your qualifications or registration. It is a commercial document tool: it prices the testing and certification as lines on the quote, and your certification software still issues the certificate.

No. There is no connection to any wholesaler, so your buy prices do not refresh themselves overnight. What you get instead is a catalogue you control: your accessories and cable with your actual trade price and your sell 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 units or pre-priced assemblies — 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 the thing you are shopping for, that is a different category of product 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 fixed-price lines in the same document, which is what most real electrical quotes actually are.

Yes. Lay two or three pricing tables side by side in the same document, each with its own lines and its own total. The customer chooses a scope rather than choosing a contractor 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 on this trade they earn their place. A provisional line covers what you cannot see until the plaster is off, and a text block lists what you have not allowed for — making good, redecoration, asbestos, a consumer unit position that turns out to be unusable. Both are ordinary blocks in the editor, and both are what turn a surprise into a priced variation.

Yes. Line items carry their own images, and full-width gallery blocks with written descriptions sit next to the pricing. A photograph of the rewireable fuse board you found, beside the line that replaces it, does more to justify the number than another paragraph of specification — and it is also the record of what things looked like before you touched them.

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

Yes. A won quote converts to an invoice in one click with every line carried over, and the material lines raise a purchase order for your wholesaler. The quantities you ordered match the quantities the customer approved, because they are the same quantities — which is the whole point 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 USD $14.99/month for 20 documents, and because billing is per company rather than per seat, putting a second electrician on it does not change the price.
