The certificates, the jobs and the money. One system, one price.
BS 7671 certificates with the maximum Zs worked out in the form, fire alarm and emergency lighting to their own standards, and the jobs and applications for payment behind them. No add-on needed — electrical work is what the Combined plan is.
Combined, from £299 a month for the whole company on a 12-month term. Every user included.
The forms, not a template that looks like the forms.
Every certificate follows the standard it is issued under — the declarations, the schedules and the sign-off roles are the ones the scheme assessor expects to see.
BS 7671
EIC, EICR and minor works. Circuit schedules with the maximum Zs calculated from the protective device, and the observation codes C1, C2, C3 and FI carried through to the summary.
BS 5839-1
Design, installation, commissioning, acceptance, modification and servicing — six certificates, each signed by whoever did that stage.
BS 5266-1
Completion and periodic forms, plus the monthly function test and the annual full-duration test as their own records.
BS 7346-8 and BS EN 62305-3
Smoke ventilation commissioning, service and annual inspection. Lightning protection inspection and test with the earth readings against the last visit.
Qualified supervisor sign-off
The engineer completes it, the QS approves or rejects it by email, and the certificate carries both names. A certificate that looks reviewed when one person did everything is a lie told quietly.
Test instruments
The kit used is recorded on the certificate, and a certificate is flagged if an instrument’s calibration had lapsed on the day.
Jobs and money, on the same system as the paperwork.
The reason to keep it together is that the certificate, the job it came from and the invoice that follows all reference the same job number.
Service and projects
Jobs numbered for life, auto-scheduled by where the work is and put in route order, phone job cards with photos, recurring maintenance that books itself. Projects keep one number from enquiry to final account.
Quoting
Built from your price list with assemblies, markup and labour hours. Cost centres and sub-sections, options the client chooses between, revised as R1 and R2, accepted online with a signature — which turns the enquiry into a project or a service job.
Applications for payment
By percentage or amount per item, with retention. CIS deductions on labour, domestic reverse charge, statements and automatic chasers, and a two-way Xero connection — invoices out, payments and contacts back.
Variations
Recorded the moment they are instructed — verbally, on a drawing revision, by email — not when somebody gets round to pricing them. The ones that never get priced are the ones that never get paid.
Two things worth knowing.
Better you hear them here than three weeks in.
Not a tracking system
Jobs are scheduled by site location and the day is put in route order, but there is no live GPS tracking of vans and no minute-by-minute optimiser.
MCS is separate
If you install solar PV, battery storage or heat pumps under MCS, that is an add-on rather than part of the plan — a scheme membership, not a trade. Most electrical contractors are not MCS-registered.
