“CostForge completely changed how we quote. We stopped losing money on undercosted jobs within the first month.”
— James T., Electrical Contractor
The problem
Electrical jobs are easy to underprice — if your quoting process isn’t structured
Estimating from memory or old Excel sheets. Forgetting to account for cable lengths, accessories, or testing time. Clients getting a single-line total with no breakdown. Losing track of which quote version went to which client. And a missed labour line that quietly wipes your margin. CostForge was built to fix exactly this.
The solution
Built for the way electricians actually price work
Staff Hours & Labour Costing
Define Electrician, Apprentice, and Site Manager roles with hourly rates. Add labour to any quote and CostForge calculates the cost instantly. Show or hide it from the client.
Nested Line Items
Break down a rewire: consumer unit, cables, accessories, first fix labour, second fix labour, testing — each as a separate costed line with full traceability.
Client View Toggle
Show the client a clean, professional total. Keep your material rates and labour costs internal — you control what they see.
Professional PDF Export
Branded quote PDFs with your logo and colours. Clients comment on how professional they look before you've even started the job.
Client & Job Management
Every rewire, install, and maintenance job under the right client profile. Never lose a quote or mix up a client again.
