For electrical contractors

Carry the electrical survey into the quote—and the accepted work back to site.

Setout Pro helps electricians keep room context, manually reviewed routes, accessories, notes, labour and allowances attached to the quotation and the work another electrician receives.

Room context and reviewed electrical scope connected to an exact quote and operative handover

A clear definition

What should electrical quoting software preserve?

Electrical quoting software should preserve the relationship between the surveyed property, the firm's reviewed scope, the customer price and the operative handover. A route drawn on a plan is useful evidence, but it is not a circuit design, cable calculation or complete accessories schedule until a qualified person reviews it.

No more rebuilding socket notes, route lengths and customer changes from separate photos and messages when it is time to price or brief the electrician doing the work.

How it works

A reviewed electrical job chain

Use the plan to organise what was observed and proposed, then keep design decisions, quantities and prices under qualified professional control. Setout Pro does not silently turn a point or line into a compliant installation.

  1. 01

    Record the rooms

    Measure or import the relevant layout and keep distribution-board, access and existing-condition notes with the job.

  2. 02

    Review points and routes

    Record proposed accessories and measured route context as firm-reviewed scope rather than an automatic circuit design.

  3. 03

    Price the work

    Apply labour, materials and allowances the business has reviewed, leaving unknown supplier costs explicit.

  4. 04

    Issue one version

    Send the customer the exact quotation version intended for approval and retain later revisions separately.

  5. 05

    Hand over accepted scope

    Assign relevant room and plan context without exposing internal cost, rates or margin to field viewers.

In practice

Useful from survey to electrical operative

  • Use a phone while walking the property and a tablet when the wider plan and room context need to remain visible.
  • Keep accessory notes, exclusions and customer requests distinct from measured facts and qualified design decisions.
  • Structure first-fix, second-fix, testing and other quoted sections in language the customer can understand.
  • Give the assigned operative the accepted job context without including the estimator's internal commercial detail.

The honest boundary

Electrical design and compliance boundary

  • Setout Pro does not design circuits, select protective devices or calculate cable size, voltage drop or fault current automatically.
  • A drawn point or route is not a complete bill of materials and does not imply live wholesaler stock or account pricing.
  • Measured context and job notes do not replace inspection, testing, certification or qualified electrical judgement.
  • Any future regulations guidance must cite the jurisdiction, source and date and remain non-blocking rather than declaring work compliant.

Questions, answered plainly

Frequently asked questions

Can Setout Pro record sockets, lights and cable routes?

The planned trade workflow is designed to keep reviewed points and routes with their room and job context. It does not infer a complete circuit design, cable schedule or bill of materials from those marks.

Can I use my own electrical labour and material prices?

The business controls its labour rates, allowances and builder-entered figures. Setout Pro does not claim a live wholesaler price feed or choose the customer total automatically.

Does Setout Pro produce electrical certificates?

No. Inspection, testing, certification and statutory records remain separate obligations for the qualified people and systems responsible for them.
