  • Fuse box photo shows whether the supply needs an upgrade.

5Reading a request#

Each request opens with a quick assessment: coloured flags for what matters most in this trade.

  • Cable run: flagged by size (anything above 10 m stands out).
  • Parking: Shared parking, On the street is flagged as needing attention (cost, access or risk).
  • Chargers: flagged by size (anything above 1 chargers stands out).
  • Property: Business premises is flagged as a bigger or more valuable job.
  • Supply: shown for quick reading.
  • Photos: green when every photo tile is filled, amber when only some are.
  • Install: highlighted when it is today or tomorrow, so you can plan quickly.

What to look at first

  • Cable run over 25 m is flagged: more cable and time.
  • Shared or street parking is flagged: check permissions.
  • More than 1 charger usually means a business job.

6Pricing your quote#

A standard install price plus cable run and extras.

  • A standard price that includes a set cable length.
  • Add per metre/foot beyond that.
  • Add the charger if you supply it.
  • Add supply upgrades or load management if the fuse box needs it.

These are ways to think about price, not market prices. Use your own costs and local rates.
