Software for ELV and ICT firms — cabling, access and systems that stay maintained

ELV quotes are schedules, not paragraphs: points counted per floor and per system — data points, access doors, intercom stations, BMS points — with containment, cabling and devices as separate lines, because variations arrive as point counts ("add forty points on level three") and a schedule-priced quote absorbs them without a new negotiation.

Your price book holds your per-point and per-device rates once; each tender or fit-out package is then assembled from counted points, and the accepted quote becomes the baseline the variations are measured against.

After handover, the same systems return as maintenance: quarterly or monthly visits, callout terms, spare-parts handling. The AMC pattern — a defined scope, a visit rhythm, a recurring invoice — is the same money shape as the facilities firms run, and InstaJack's contract invoicing carries it: the invoice generates per period from the contract, and callouts outside scope are quoted as extras rather than absorbed silently.

Keeping the project record and the contract on one client card matters here: the technician attending a fault should see the as-installed schedule, not a stranger's guess at what is in the ceiling.

Testing and labelling records, as-built point schedules, device serials and IP plans, and the handover file the client's IT or FM team signs against. ELV defects are disproportionately "it was never documented" defects — a point that exists on no schedule exists for no one when it fails.

Documents and photos filed against the job in InstaJack — rack photos, test results, labelled schedules — turn the handover pack from a week of reconstruction into an export, per the pattern in the handover pack guide.

ELV is not one of the eighteen core trades with a starter price book, and this page will not pretend otherwise. You build your book from your own rates — per point, per device, per day — and the app supplies everything around it: quotes, variations, invoices, AMC billing and the client record. Firms arriving from the CCTV trade will find the shape familiar; the book itself stays honestly yours.
