How it works

From architect's plan to priced quote in one sitting

1

Import the plan

Upload the architect's PDF or a photo of the drawing, or sketch the rooms yourself. Add a sheet for each floor.

2

Place your symbols

Drag sockets, switches, downlights and detectors onto the plan. Wire switches to lights. The legend builds itself.

3

Send the quote

Every item is already counted. Add your rates and labour, then download the drawing, materials list and client quote.

Drawing editor

Mark up a whole house without leaving the page

A symbol library made for UK domestic work, with mounting heights shown on every item. Zoom in to place a downlight exactly where it goes.

Plotwire turns the drawing into a priced quote. Set your own rates once and they carry over to every job.

Why Plotwire

Built by a working electrician who was tired of counting downlights at the kitchen table.

Plotwire started as a tool for pricing real jobs in Yorkshire. Every feature is there because it saved time on site or in the evening.

Is Plotwire an electrical design tool?

No. It's for laying out and pricing work. You stay responsible for the design and for meeting BS 7671 and the Building Regulations.

Does it work on an iPad?

Yes, in landscape. It runs in the browser, so there's nothing to install.

What happens when I reach 25 symbols?

You'll be asked to subscribe to keep adding. Everything you've drawn stays saved.

Can I cancel?

Any time, from the billing page. You keep access to the end of the month you've paid for.

Where is my data kept?

On servers in London. We don't sell your data or show you ads.
