Sound familiar?

Built around the quoting problems you actually deal with

When you're quoting from site notes, photos, pricing lists and memory, small details get missed — and that means late nights and jobs that don't make the margin they should.

Time lost to quoting admin

You shouldn't have to spend your evenings turning messy site notes into a quote.

Quotes built after a full day on site
Notes, photos and requests all over the place
Too much time pricing labour, materials and testing
Customers moving on because quotes take too long

Profit lost through missed details

Small missed items quickly turn into unpaid extras, scope creep and awkward customer chats.

Materials missed from the quote
Labour, testing or certification underpriced
Assumptions unclear to the customer
Variations missed or undercharged

Nothing missed

Build quotes with the details that protect your margin

Tibr helps you structure the parts of an electrical quote that are easy to forget when you're working from notes, photos and memory.

Materials

Boards, RCBOs, cable, containment, accessories — counted, not guessed.

Labour

Time to do the whole job, not just the install time.

Testing & certification

Inspection, testing, EIC/EICR and handover — in the price, not a free favour.

Assumptions

What the quote is based on, so there's less room for confusion.

Exclusions

What's not included, so the customer understands the limits.

Variations

Extras and changes captured before they become unpaid work.

Access & site conditions

Anything that could affect time, labour or delivery.

Optional extras

Additional work made clear, with what it costs to add.

Any electrical job

FAQs

How do I quote an electrical job?

Break it into sections — the board and supply, cabling and containment, circuits and accessories, lighting, and testing — then price labour and materials for each. The margin usually leaks on the small stuff: test certificates, terminations, making good and notification fees. Tibr lays out every section and prompts for those items so nothing slips through.

What estimating software do electricians use?

Plenty still price jobs in a spreadsheet or on the back of the job sheet. Tibr is different — you describe the job in plain words and it builds the quote itself: board, cabling, circuits, accessories and testing, with prompts for the allowances and exclusions that protect your price.

How do you work out electrical labour?

Labour is usually priced per point, per termination or per metre of cable run, adjusted for access, height and the state of the property. The trick is staying consistent, so you can compare a quote against how the job actually went. Tibr lets you save and reuse your own labour rates so every quote is priced your way.

What's the fastest way to quote electrical work?

Start from a similar job you've done before — a rewire, a consumer unit upgrade, an extension — and adjust the quantities and prices instead of starting from a blank page. Tibr keeps your past quotes and your own rates to hand, so a new one comes together in minutes.

Does Tibr count the points and cable runs for me?

Tibr builds and prices the quote — the scope, the sections, the itemised lines and the clean PDF. If you take off points and cable runs your own way, those numbers drop straight into Tibr's sections to be priced, checked and sent. You stay in control of every line.

Can I use my own prices?

Yes — Tibr builds every quote on your own rates and materials. It never invents numbers or decides your margin. Save your usual accessory prices and labour rates once and they carry across to every future quote; change one and it updates next time.

Does it cover testing and certificates?

Yes. Tibr prompts for the testing and certification that's easy to forget when you're focused on the board and the cabling — inspection and testing, certificates, labelling and making good — so they're in the price before the quote goes out, not argued over afterwards.

Will the quote look professional — and can I edit it first?

Every quote comes out as a clean, itemised, customer-ready PDF with your scope, assumptions and exclusions spelled out. You review and edit every line — prices, quantities and scope — before it's sent. You send the quote, not the software.
