// Sound familiar?

Wiring is the easy part.

The work is done properly on site. It's everything around it that slips. These are the problems electrical contractors tell us about most.

Where is each job up to?

Containment in, first fix done, waiting on second fix, ready for testing - you find out by phone, and the answer is out of date by lunchtime.

Drawings on the wrong revision

Layouts and RAMS change, and someone always installs from last week's version. You need to know who has read the latest one.

Testing with no evidence trail

Boards, labels and test results are photographed on personal phones, if at all. When something is queried later, the proof is hard to find.

Cards and registrations expiring

ECS/JIB cards, 18th Edition, NICEIC or NAPIT registration and insurance - nobody notices until a site manager turns someone away.

Variations that never get paid

Extra points and circuits agreed on site are forgotten by the time the application goes in.

CIS and retention by hand

Deductions, retention and releases tracked in spreadsheets that only one person understands.

// How DuoApp helps

Built around how electrical contractors work.

Everything below is included in the same £10 per user, from a two-person firm to a hundred-strong contractor.

Every job, area and stage in one view

Break each job down into containment, first fix, second fix, testing and anything else you price for. Track progress by block, floor or plot, and complete dozens of tasks at once. Periodic inspections and maintenance visits can repeat on their own.

  • Jobs down to floor, plot and stage
  • Bulk-complete when an area is done
  • Recurring tasks for maintenance contracts

Test and inspection sign-offs with photos

Checklists for every stage, with photos of boards, labels and test results plus a signature. If anything is queried later, you can show what was checked, by whom and when.

  • Stage-by-stage checklists
  • Photos and signatures on every sign-off
  • Works offline on site
More on Quality Control →

Everyone on the latest drawing

Mark a layout or RAMS as required reading. DuoApp notifies everyone affected, blocks sign-off until they've opened it, and locks again on every new revision.

  • Required-to-view drawings and RAMS
  • Sign-off blocked until read
  • Re-locks on each revision

ECS cards and registrations - tracked

Store ECS/JIB cards, 18th Edition and other qualifications, scheme registrations and insurance against each person. DuoApp warns you before anything expires, and can block work for anyone whose documents aren't current.

  • Expiry warnings for every card
  • Approval inbox for new documents
  • Ready when a main contractor asks
More on Document Compliance →

EICs and EICRs, signed by qualified people

Fill in an EIC or EICR from a ready-made template, or record a certificate from your scheme software with the PDF uploaded. Only people with verified, in-date qualifications such as 18th Edition or 2391 can sign, and the finished document locks into a branded PDF you can email to the client.

  • EIC, EICR and Part P templates
  • Qualifications checked at signing
  • Locked PDF emailed from DuoApp
More on Compliance & Certificates →

Price it the way you're paid

Bill at a fixed price per plot or stage, split labour and materials, or run your own subcontractors with staged claims - all on the same platform.

  • Fixed price per plot or stage
  • Labour and materials split
  • Your own subbies, managed properly
More on Priced & Sub Works →

CIS and retention, built in

Deductions, verification status, retention and releases sit on every invoice, so what you're owed and what you owe is always worked out for you.

  • CIS deductions and verification
  • Retention held and released
  • Split payments against real work
More on Retention & Deductions →

Variations agreed, not forgotten

Raise a variation from site on your phone, send it for sign-off and keep a full audit trail, so extra points and circuits turn into extra money.

  • Raised from site on a phone
  • Custom approvers per job
  • Full audit trail
More on Smart Approvals →

Who's on which site

Clock in and out on the phone, optionally checked against the site boundary at that moment. See who's on each site right now, with an offline fire roll if you need one.

  • Optional geofenced clock-in
  • Live who's-on-site list
  • Offline fire roll

// Electrical FAQs

Questions electrical contractors ask us.

Is DuoApp suitable for a small electrical contractor?
Yes. You pay £10 per user, per month, so a team of four costs £40 a month with every feature included. You can add and remove people as your team changes and you're billed pro-rata.
Can DuoApp produce electrical certificates (EIC, EICR, minor works)?
Yes for EICs and EICRs, with Compliance & Certificates: ready-made templates, signed only by people with verified, in-date qualifications, then locked into a branded PDF. There's no minor works template out of the box, but admins can build their own templates. If you prefer to keep your scheme's certification software, record the certificate in DuoApp with the PDF uploaded, so the certificate, the sign-off photos and the invoice sit together.
Does DuoApp handle CIS for electrical subcontractors?
Yes. CIS deductions, verification status, retention and split payments are built into invoicing as standard, not bolted on.
Can my team see drawings on site?
Yes. Drawings, RAMS and other documents are stored against the job and open on any phone or tablet. Mark one as required reading and nobody can sign off until they've opened the latest revision.
Does it connect to my accounts software?
Yes. The optional Accountancy Integration add-on (£10 per month plus VAT) sends approved invoices to Xero as bills, with VAT, CIS and retention on separate lines. QuickBooks Online and Sage are coming soon.
How much does it cost and is there a free trial?
£10 per user, per month plus VAT, with every feature included. There's a 14-day free trial of the full platform, and you can cancel any time from the billing screen.
