Can I quote per point?

Yes. 'point' is a built-in unit. Quote light, fan, power and AC points at a rate each; the quantity is the count from your layout.

How do I list the material brands?

Use the line details for brand and specification (for example, FRLS copper, [brand] modular switches), and the commercial terms section for the 'or equivalent approved by the customer' clause. The template includes both.

What if the customer wants fittings included?

Add fittings as optional lines. They print separately with their amount and stay out of the total until the customer says yes; then one click moves them in.

Can I attach the single-line diagram?

Attachments to the share page are on the roadmap. Today, mention it under deliverables and send the drawing alongside the PDF.

Does it handle 3-phase and 1-phase boards differently?

Boards are just line items with your description and rate; the template includes a TPN main board and SPN sub-boards as examples. Quote whatever configuration the site needs.

How do testing and handover documents appear?

As a line item for the work and under deliverables for the test report, single-line diagram and warranty card, so the customer sees both the cost and the output.

How it works

Step 1
Count the points
From the layout: light, fan, power, AC. Enter the counts against per-point rates from your catalogue.
Step 2
Add boards, earthing and testing
Main and sub-distribution boards, chemical earthing, testing and handover documents as lines.
Step 3
Set brands and terms
Brand placeholders in line details; 'or equivalent' and joint measurement in commercial terms.
Step 4
Send and convert
Branded PDF or a link. Convert to invoice at measured quantities when the job is done.

Point-wise rates, the way the trade quotes

The electrical template quotes wiring per point with the switchgear included, boards per unit and earthing per set. Rates below are illustrative placeholders from the template; your catalogue holds your real rates and costs so a new quotation is mostly counting.

How the catalogue and margins work

Point type	Sample qty	Illustrative rate
Light point wiring (concealed, FRLS copper)	40	₹950
Power point wiring, 6/16 A with modular switch-socket	36	₹1,450
AC point wiring with 20 A DP switch	8	₹2,900

Illustrative placeholders, not market rates. Edit every figure before sending.

Why electrical quotations go wrong

Electrical quotations fail in three predictable ways. The point count changes after the interior designer revises the layout, and the old total survives in the document. The brand is left vague, and the customer expects a premium switch for a budget rate. And the scope boundary with civil work is unstated, so chasing and making good become an argument. The template addresses each: quantities are editable with the total recomputed on every change, brand placeholders sit in the line details next to an “or equivalent approved by the customer” clause, and the assumptions section states that civil work is in the customer's scope unless listed.

Boards, earthing and protection

Distribution boards are where the real engineering sits and where customers least understand what they are paying for. Quote the main board and each sub-board as a line with the way count, protection (MCB, RCCB) and enclosure rating in the details. Quote earthing per set with the method named. The deliverables section promises a single-line diagram and circuit schedule for each board, which is what a good contractor hands over anyway and what distinguishes your quotation from a cheaper one.

Testing and handover as a paid line

Insulation resistance, earth resistance and polarity testing take time and produce a report the customer should keep. The template lists testing and commissioning as a line item and the report, diagram and warranty card as deliverables, so the customer sees both the cost and the value. It is also the natural trigger for the final payment milestone.

Margins on labour and material

Per-point rates bundle material and labour, so the margin on each is only visible if you enter the cost. Enter it once in the catalogue and every quotation shows gross margin per line and overall, privately. For projects where you also supply fittings, mark them optional so the quotation is not inflated by items the customer may buy elsewhere. The contractor page covers measured quantities and final billing, which apply here too.
