A custom app for electricians

A typical week means walking a basement with a homeowner, taking a few photos of an old panel, and promising a quote by tomorrow. Then the permit application needs filling in, the supply house has raised the price of copper, and someone has to remember that the rough-in inspection is Thursday morning.

Licensing adds its own clock. Every electrician on your crew has a license number, an expiration date and continuing-education hours due. Miss one and a journeyman cannot work. Meanwhile, a service call quoted at four hours is heading into its seventh, and nobody notices until the invoice goes out short.

Circuit drafts the quote from your walk-through photos and notes, builds the materials list from the plan, and fills in the permit application. It runs load calculations for a panel or new circuits and flags any that look overloaded. Voice notes from the truck become job notes, and when you mark a job done, the invoice is ready for you to check.

On the warning side, it reminds you of each inspection and what to have ready, tracks every license and CE deadline, and speaks up when a job runs past the quoted hours. It catches supplier price jumps and invoices unpaid after 30 days, and it notes code changes that touch jobs still open.

It fits a master electrician working alone, a contractor with a few journeymen and apprentices, and residential or light commercial shops that mix service calls with bigger installs. The owner schedules crews by skill and license, and the techs see only what they need on their phones.
