A 10-minute assessment across nine areas where electrical contractors consistently lose margin. Materials recovery, variation capture, labour uplift, overhead allocation — scored and ranked so you know exactly where the money is going.
Most contractors underestimate what an apprentice actually contributes — and almost none are claiming the CITB grants they're entitled to. This calculator runs the full picture: JIB pay rates by year, direct billing value, capacity released, overhead saving, and grant entitlement.
Invoiced but not paid. WIP sitting uninvoiced. Payment terms that don't match your outgoings. Cash flow problems in contracting businesses rarely come from a bad month — they come from structural gaps that compound quietly. This diagnostic maps them.
Generate a job-specific Risk Assessment and Method Statement in minutes. Answer a structured set of questions about the job, site conditions, and works scope — the tool drafts a compliant starting document for you to review and approve before use. Every output requires your sign-off before use.
Equipment costs that aren't properly spread across jobs quietly erode margin on every quote. This calculator takes your plant, vehicles, and equipment costs and spreads them accurately across your job book — giving you the per-job overhead figure to build into your quotes from the start.
Turn the way your business actually works into documented standard operating procedures. Define how jobs are scoped, how operatives are briefed, how variations are recorded, how sign-off happens. Reduces reliance on individual knowledge, makes onboarding faster, and gives you something to hand to a manager without explaining everything from scratch
