Electrical quoting

Electrical quoting software
— quote jobs in under two minutes.

Electrical work swings from ten-minute call-outs to multi-day switchboard upgrades and rewires, and the price drivers are rarely obvious to the customer — cable runs, board capacity, compliance testing and certificates all move the number. Tradewin prices any electrical job against your real costs and sends a professional quote from the van, before you've left the site. Save your common jobs — GPO installs, RCD swaps, EV charger fits — as TradeWin Recipes™ so the next quote is a two-tap job.

What drives the price of electrical work

The same job can vary widely. Tradewin prices against your real costs, so these factors are built in — not guessed.

Switchboard capacity & access

Adding circuits or upgrading to three-phase depends on spare ways, board condition and how far the run is — the same “add a circuit” job can vary by hundreds of dollars.

Cable runs & concealment

Surface-mounted conduit is quick; chasing into walls, crossing a double-brick cavity or fishing a ceiling adds real labour customers rarely price in.

Compliance, testing & certificates

Safety testing, RCD compliance and the certificate of electrical safety are billable time — quoting them explicitly protects your margin and your licence.

Materials volatility

Copper cable, breakers and switchgear prices move. Pricing off your latest wholesaler invoice — not last year's rates — keeps quotes profitable.

Common electrical jobs and what moves the price

  • 3-Phase Power Upgrade

    Price depends heavily on existing infrastructure, switchboard capacity, and council requirements.

  • Add Circuit to Switchboard

    Cost varies with distance from switchboard and whether conduit is required.

  • Air Con Electrical — General

    Select a specific type below for a tighter benchmark.

  • Arc Fault / Loose Termination Rectification

    Intermittent burning smell or charring at terminations — switchboard or in-circuit; distinct from standard fault finding.

  • Backup Generator Installation

    Varies with generator size, fuel type, and automatic transfer switch requirements.

  • CCTV — 1–2 Camera System

    Basic system with NVR/DVR — straightforward cable runs.
