Construction · Software for electrical contractors

Follow cable, conduit and switchgear from stores to site and into the bill.

Electrical contractors price work in points, metres and distribution boards, buy copper at rates that move monthly, and send cable drums to several sites at once. The software follows cable, conduit and switchgear from the store room to site and back, then turns measured work into the monthly running account bill. Test reports sit in a project file.

At a glance

Electrical work is billed in points, metres and board counts, at rates fixed when copper was priced last week, long before the second fix begins. A hundred metres miscounted on one floor is small. On eight floors it becomes a month’s profit, because the same error repeats in every riser, every tray run and every drum that goes out half used.

The drawing is rarely the problem and the store room often is, so material and billing records decide whether a finished site actually made money. Bring the stores register and the supervisors’ site notes to the first meeting and read them side by side, since the margin usually leaked out in whatever differs between them. Cable drums vanish this way. So do breakers.

How the work runs today

A builder, factory or interior firm sends drawings and a bill of quantities (BOQ), and you price light points, PVC conduit, armoured cable runs, distribution boards, MCCB panels, earthing pits and luminaires. The quote holds only while the copper rate holds. It rarely does. After the award the supervisor raises a material indent. Cable drums, MCBs and modular switches then leave for site from your own store or straight from the dealer.

Electricians work in gangs across several sites and are paid daily or at a piece rate per point wired, so attendance and output need separate records. Each month you measure the work done and raise a running account bill, which the client’s engineer checks against his own count of points and metres. At the end come megger insulation readings and earth resistance values for every circuit and every earth pit, entered on one sheet. Larger loads also need the electrical inspector’s approval, and those papers are wanted on the same day the panel is energised.

Where it breaks

What goes wrong for electrical contractors without a proper system.

Metres do not reconcile

A drum of 4 core armoured cable goes to site, part of it returns, and the offcut is never measured before it moves to the next job. Nobody owns the offcut, so nobody answers for it.

Copper price erodes margin

The BOQ was priced in January against the old copper rate, yet the cable bought in June costs more per metre. The difference comes out of your own pocket, line after line, and the client’s engineer will not reopen the rate.

Point counts are disputed

The client’s engineer counts fewer socket, fan and light points than your supervisor on the same floor, so the bill waits for a joint measurement on site. Both parties walk the corridors with a marked drawing.

Test reports go missing

Megger readings are scribbled on the back of a drawing, next to a tea ring and a half-finished sketch of a panel. The inspector asks for them on the day, the sheet cannot be found, and the connection is delayed by a repeat test.

What the software does

What we would build for electrical contractors.

Named the way your team already talks about the work. We start with whichever part the audit shows is costing you most.

BOQ with point and metre rates

Price light points, cable runs and panels from your rate list, or line by line against a client’s BOQ, and revise the rate list whenever copper moves.

Store room and site material ledger

Track cable by drum and metre, with switchgear and conduit issued against each site indent and returned, which leaves a running balance for every site.

Measurement sheet and running account bills

Feed points and metres measured by floor into the monthly bill, with mobilisation advance and retention carried on the account. Each bill shows as approved or pending.

Teams and piece-rate work

Record attendance by site and points wired by each gang, so weekly payment matches the work done and a foreman cannot overstate a count of fan points or sockets.

Testing and approval records

Keep insulation, earth and load readings with photos of each panel in the project file. The product has no test register of its own, so this file is built during implementation around your inspector’s format.

Maintenance contracts and call-backs

Hold annual maintenance contracts for offices and factories, and log every call-back raised during the defect liability period against the project it came from.

Common questions

Questions electrical contractors ask before they call.

Can purchases and running account bills reach my books?

Not built in. Tax and ledgers stay with your accountant. An export for your books is priced separately and set up once your ledgers are known to us.

Will it handle tender work with advances and retention?

It tracks the BOQ, the measurement and each running account bill, with the mobilisation advance and retention carried on the account. Filings on tender portals stay on those portals.

Does it prepare drawings or load calculations?

No. Design stays with your consultant or your own engineer. The software prices the BOQ, issues material from the store and builds the running account bill, though for one or two small sites a plain sheet may still be honest enough.

Can it reprice a BOQ when copper moves?

Partly. The rate list is revised when copper moves and every quotation version is kept. Holding each line’s priced copper rate for a variation claim is built around it during setup.

How is an electrical contractor quoted?

Active sites count, and so do the supervisors, store keepers and billing staff who log in. Piece-rate gangs, testing records and maintenance contracts move the scope if they come in the first release. Linking an accounts package adds more. The quotation sets a price beside every part.

What should an electrical contractor prepare before kickoff?

A sample BOQ with its rates, a material indent, a measurement sheet, a running account bill and a megger test sheet. Add the cable and switchgear stock list. A supervisor, a store keeper and a billing engineer are freed up to check screens.

Who owns job and test records if the firm changes systems?

BOQs, indents, measurement sheets, bills and test readings can be copied out as spreadsheets whenever you want them. The firm keeps the code. Support and upkeep come from the people who wrote it. GullySystem hosts it, or another host if you wish.

What happens after I share my requirements?

An engineer reads what you send and replies within one business day. We then look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough. You get a short written summary ordered by priority, with no obligation to hire us afterwards.

How much will the software cost?

We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. That first review settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
