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.
Quote it, wire it, bill the draw
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.
Why electrical is different
Where It Gets Hard
Bigger jobs shouldn't wait for one invoice
Run commercial work on progress draws so you're paid as you go rather than financing the general contractor.
Labour hours are the margin
Electricians clock in against the job, so the hours on the invoice are the hours that were actually worked.
Day one
What's Built In
Tell QuixChex you run a electrical business and it sets the account up around how the work actually happens — before you've typed anything.
Estimate becomes the job
What you quoted carries straight through to the work order and the invoice, so there's one number and one record from first call to payment.
Tracked per service address
Every job hangs off the address it happens at, so a landlord or a facilities manager with a dozen sites doesn't turn into a dozen customers.
Licensed electricians on the clock
Assign the work, see who's on site while they're clocked in, and capture hours for payroll and job costing at the same time.
Progress draws when you need them
Bill a commercial job in stages and a residential call-out in one go, without switching systems.
Photos and notes from site
Panel shots, meter readings and what was actually found — sent from the van, attached to the job, there when it's disputed.
Deposits before the material order
Take a deposit up front on a job that needs gear ordered, and bill the balance on completion.
How a job runs
One Job, Start to Finish
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; their hours land against the job. It bills on completion, or on draws if it's a bigger contract.

FAQ
Questions, Answered
Can I bill commercial work in stages?
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.
Are labour hours tracked against the job?
Yes. Electricians clock in and out from a phone and the hours attach to the job, so you can see what a job actually cost you to run.
Can I keep residential call-outs simple?
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.
