Trade case · Electrical
Wiring done right, admin to match
A full rewiring to price point by point, a compliance upgrade to document, a call-out to invoice the same evening: electrical work is a lot of small lines and very little time to type them. MaitreChantier prices per unit and invoices without a single re-entry.
Your day-to-day, point by point
The situations that eat your evenings — and what the platform does about each of them.
Today
An electrical quote is fifty lines priced per unit
With MaitreChantier
Light points, 16 A sockets, dedicated circuits, consumer unit: each item sits in your library with its price. You type the count, the totals follow.
Today
The customer adds three sockets halfway through
With MaitreChantier
Duplicate the quote, add the lines, send the new version: the extra work ends up on the invoice instead of in a notebook.
Today
Saturday's call-out never gets invoiced
With MaitreChantier
A direct invoice takes hours, parts and travel, and leaves by email with its PDF before you drive off.
Today
You cannot say where each job stands
With MaitreChantier
Quoted, signed, invoiced, paid: the dashboard shows the real state of every job, and flags the ones that stalled.
What you gain, every week
Priced per unit, like you quote
Light point, socket, dedicated circuit, earthing, consumer unit: your library holds the units you actually sell, with your cost price behind each one.
One section per room
Kitchen, bedrooms, garage: sections make the quote readable, and the customer signs without asking for a breakdown.
Call-outs invoiced on the spot
No quote needed for a repair: the direct invoice goes out with its PDF, from the phone, before the next job.
Call-outs and sites on one week
Plan the rewiring days and slot the emergencies between them, without losing sight of the crew.
The margin behind each job
Cable and equipment purchases sit against the job, so you see whether the fixed price still holds.
Quotes sent from the site
Every screen works on a phone: price, send, invoice and check a payment between two customers.
What an electrical quote looks like
An extract from a compliance upgrade: everything priced per unit, totals and VAT computed as you type.
| Description | Qty | Unit price | VAT | Total excl. VAT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Two-row consumer unit, wired to standard | 1 u | €1,250.00 | 10 % | €1,250.00 |
| Light point (supply and switch) | 12 u | €95.00 | 10 % | €1,140.00 |
| 16 A power socket | 18 u | €78.00 | 10 % | €1,404.00 |
| Complete earthing | 1 forfait | €650.00 | 10 % | €650.00 |
| Total excl. VAT | €4,444.00 | |||
Numbering, legal wording and the deposit invoice come from this quote — you only type the quantities.
The three sockets added mid-job
The client wants three more sockets. You duplicate the quote, add the lines, send the new version to be signed. The extra work ends up on the invoice instead of ending up in a notebook.
How it goes, from quote to payment
Count once, price once
Walk the property, count the points per room, drop the library items in: the quote is priced before you leave.
Run the job, log the purchases
Cable, panels and fittings are booked against the job, so the fixed price is checked against reality, not against a hunch.
Invoice, then chase
Deposit, progress invoices, balance — and overdue invoices flagged with the follow-up email ready to send.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I keep quoting per unit rather than per room?
- Yes. Each library item carries its own unit — piece, metre, fixed price — and a quote can mix them freely.
- How do I handle extra work asked for mid-job?
- Duplicate the quote, add the lines and send the new version for signature; invoicing then follows the signed amount.
- And for a repair with no quote?
- Create a direct invoice: hours, parts and travel, sent by email with its PDF attached.
