The estimate and the invoice are different documents
Here they're the same record. What you quoted becomes the job, and the job becomes the bill — nothing gets re-keyed between them.
Panel upgrades, EV chargers, commercial fit-outs. QuixChex quotes the work, sends the electrician to the service address, and bills it as the job progresses instead of all at the end.
How a job runs
Call comes in for a panel upgrade. You quote it, the customer approves, and it becomes a scheduled job at that service address. Your electrician clocks in on site, and the days they work go on the job at their rate. It bills on completion, or on draws if it's a bigger contract.
Off your own price list, sent as a link. The approval is recorded against the job, not remembered from a phone call.
Their days go on the job at their day rate, so the labour in the margin is a figure rather than a feeling.
A bigger job does not wait on one invoice at the end — it bills as it progresses.
Panel in. Labour costed. Paid.
Here they're the same record. What you quoted becomes the job, and the job becomes the bill — nothing gets re-keyed between them.
Run commercial work on progress draws so you're paid as you go rather than financing the general contractor.
Each electrician on a job carries their day rate and the days they put in, half-days included. What the labour cost sits beside what you billed.

FAQ
Yes. A job can be split into as many draws as the contract needs, each billing on its own trigger rather than one invoice at the end.
Yes. Each electrician goes on the job with a day rate and the days they worked, so the cost sits next to what you billed. Clocking in and out is separate — that is the timesheet and the live map, not the job cost.
Yes. A small job can be one price, one visit and one charge. The draw machinery is there when you want it, not imposed on every job.
It goes on that job’s timeline as declined, with the date, and the job doesn’t vanish off the board. Re-price it, send it again, and the decline clears on the same record — there’s no second job to build to quote the same panel twice.
Yes. You set the list of fields your work needs — panel size, circuits, permit number, the shutdown window — and the electrician fills them in on their phone at the address. What they type lands on the record, and the first few show on its pin on the map.
Yes. It imports from a CSV — a name, an amount, a description and a category per row. Your customers import the same way, from a CSV or a PDF of a list you already hold, and either way you match the columns and read the rows on screen before any of it is saved.
