Electrical Estimating Software for Electrical Contractors
VoltiQ turns a plain-language job description into a fully itemized electrical estimate — labour hours, material costs, and 2024 Canadian Electrical Code flags — in about three minutes. Built for contractors across Atlantic Canada.
From a sentence to a sent quote
Most estimating software makes you build the takeoff by hand. VoltiQ does the tedious part for you — you describe the job the way you'd say it out loud, and it handles the rest.
- Describe the job — plain language or a photo: "200A service upgrade, 12 circuits, detached garage in Moncton."
- Answer a few questions — VoltiQ asks what a good estimator would: panel condition, wire runs, circuit count.
- It builds the takeoff — itemized labour hours and a full material list with real regional pricing.
- It flags the code — where the 2024 Canadian Electrical Code and permits apply, by rule.
- Send for approval — a clean quote your client approves online. Revise it with AI anytime.
Built for the Canadian Electrical Code — not the US NEC
This is where most estimating tools fall short for Canadian electricians. VoltiQ isn't a US product with Canadian labels bolted on — it's built for how you actually bid work here.
2024 CEC
Flags where the Canadian Electrical Code and permits apply — arc-fault, GFCI, working clearances, AIC ratings, lockable disconnects.
Canadian materials
RW90, TECK90, Canadian panels and breakers with real regional supplier pricing — not US THHN part numbers.
Correct taxes
Provincial HST built in, including Nova Scotia's 14% and New Brunswick's 15%.
Bilingual
Works fully in English and French.
Who it's for
- Electrical contractors and electricians bidding residential, commercial, and light-industrial work
- Small-to-medium electrical businesses that don't have time for a full estimating department
- Contractors across New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador
Why VoltiQ instead of a spreadsheet or plain ChatGPT
A spreadsheet doesn't know the code or today's material prices. Generic AI doesn't know the CEC, Canadian materials, or your region. VoltiQ has the Canadian pricing, the 2024 CEC rules, and the estimating structure built in — and it saves the quote, sends it for client approval, and revises on command.
