Stop pricing jobs twice

Most estimating means measuring off a drawing, then rebuilding it in a spreadsheet. Plotwire keeps the drawing and the numbers as one thing.

Drawing

Lay out the install on the plan

Drop BS EN 60617 symbols straight onto an imported floor plan. Snapping, circuits and cable runs come built in.

  • Drag-and-drop symbol palette
  • Snap to walls and a metric grid
  • Group points onto circuits as you go
  • Light or dark canvas for any site

As you draw, Plotwire keeps a live materials schedule — counted, rated and grouped by circuit. No re-counting off the page.

How it works

From plan to priced in three steps

01

Import the plan

Drop in a PDF or image of the floor plan and set the scale. Or start from a blank A3 sheet.

02

Lay out & wire

Place sockets, lights and circuits. Plotwire snaps everything and keeps the schedule in step.

03

FAQ

Questions, answered

What can I import as a floor plan?
A PDF or an image — drop it in, set the scale and trace over it. Or start from a blank A3 sheet and draw the layout from scratch.
Does it work on an iPad on site?
Yes. Drag, drop and pinch-zoom with touch, and everything saves to your account so the same job is there when you're back at the desk.
Can I use my own prices and labour rates?
Always. Set your own material rates, day rates and margins, and every schedule and quote prices up using them — not generic figures.
Are the symbols and quotes standards-aligned?
Symbols follow BS EN 60617 and quotes reference BS 7671. Exports are formatted ready to sit alongside your certification.
Is my work backed up?
Every project saves to your account automatically and is available on any device you log in from — nothing lives only on one tablet.
What happens when the beta ends?
Paid plans arrive later. Anyone who joins during early access keeps founder pricing, so getting in now pays off.
