Problems We Solve for Electricians

Electrical contractors face challenges managing bids, organizing proposals, and tracking inspections. Without the right tools, it’s tough to forecast revenue or manage client communications. Many contractors also struggle with data scattered across various platforms, making consolidation difficult. TopBuilder’s ContractorBI™ solves these issues with intelligent dashboards that enhance construction analytics, driving better business decisions and results.

Identifying the Most Profitable Projects

There’s no shortage of opportunities, especially as the world moves towards greater electrification of everything from vehicles to infrastructure. With increasing competition, focusing your efforts on profitable projects you’re most likely to win is key. TopBuilder’s ContractorBI™ gives you powerful insights to drive your bidding strategy — including profitability and win rates by contractor, industry and project type — while a construction CRM with built-in bid scoring helps you prioritize leads.

Tracking and Managing Multiple Bids

Getting multiple bid invitations for the same job from different GCs can be overwhelming. TopBuilder makes it simple by capturing all bid invitations electronically from platforms like BuildingConnected, ConstructConnect, PlanHub and others, so you have all the information accessible on a single dashboard. Plus, automated workflows and notifications help you stay on top of every bid.

Forecasting Revenue and Allocating Resources

When your bid details, estimates, project management plans and financial data all live in separate systems or documents, it’s hard to get an accurate picture of your business and plan ahead. TopBuilder integrates with project management software and estimating software, along with ERPs and accounting solutions, so you can see every detail for each project in one place and always have an accurate revenue forecast.

Managing Inspections and Maintenance Contracts

As an electrical contractor, it’s not just about securing bids and new work. Managing long-term maintenance and inspection contracts – like inspection contracts after installing fire detection systems – is important to build lasting relationships and recurring revenue. TopBuilder helps you stay on top of these opportunities by providing automated reminders and calendar appointments to follow up with property owners or management companies. You’ll never miss a chance to keep your pipeline full and your clients happy.
