Electrical Contractor Software
Werx is the office software for electrical contractors who want to bill faster and protect margins. Run estimates, AIA-style and progress billing, job costing, and field time. Then sync it all to QuickBooks.
- AIA-style and progress billing for commercial fit-outs
- T&M invoicing for service calls
- Two-way QuickBooks Online sync
Stop the busywork
Bill commercial electrical work without the spreadsheets
Commercial fit-outs bill on a schedule of values with retainage. When pay apps and job costs live in spreadsheets, you bleed margin and get paid slow. It is not just you: in [Billd's 2026 National Subcontractor Market Report](https://billd.com/resources/2026-market-report/), 64% of subcontractors reported slow payment from GCs, waiting an average of 51 days.
- Build AIA-style pay apps in Excel
- Forget retainage
- Change orders unbilled
- Job costs after the fact
- G702 and G703 style pay apps built for you
- Retainage tracked
- Change orders billed
- Job costs in real time
Werx gets electrical contractors out of spreadsheets. Estimate, bill AIA and progress, track job costs, and get paid in one app.
The money side of an electrical business for $49 a month
Construction billing and job costing platforms publish entry prices from $149 to $599 a month, with per-user fees up to $20 and features like job costing often gated to higher tiers (as of July 2026). Werx takes the opposite approach: flat plans from $49 a month, every feature on every plan, and users are $6.
For an electrical shop, that is less than one service call a month to run the entire office side. See pricing for the full breakdown, or compare Werx to the platforms you are looking at.
- Every feature on every plan, from day one
- AIA-style billing, T&M invoicing, estimates, and job costing included
- Users are $6 a month, time-only users $4, no caps
- No contracts, 14-day free trial, no credit card
Where electrical contractors lose money
Most lost margin hides in billing and job costs. Here is where it slips, and how Werx catches it.
Fit-outs stuck in paperwork
GCs want G702 and G703 style pay apps. Werx builds them from your schedule of values.
AIA billingRetainage you forget to chase
Retainage of 5 to 10 percent adds up across jobs. Werx tracks it on every pay app.
Progress billingUnbilled change orders
Extra work in the field often never gets billed. Werx turns field tickets into billable change orders.
Change ordersNo live job costs
Without real-time costs, you find losses too late. Werx shows budget versus actual by cost code.
Job costingLate service invoices
Service calls billed days later slow your cash. Invoice T&M work the same day.

Bill an AIA-style pay app and get paid

Send the pay app to the GC through a branded portal. They review and pay online. Learn more about AIA billing and what AIA billing is.
How a commercial electrical job bills in Werx
Say you win a $120,000 tenant fit-out. The contract bills monthly by percent complete against a schedule of values, with 10 percent retainage. In Werx, your schedule of values might break down like this:
| SOV line | Scheduled value | % complete | Earned to date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temporary power and mobilization | $8,000 | 100% | $8,000 |
| Rough-in: branch and feeder | $46,000 | 75% | $34,500 |
| Panels and gear | $30,000 | 40% | $12,000 |
| Devices, fixtures, and trim | $28,000 | 0% | $0 |
| Testing and closeout | $8,000 | 0% | $0 |
| Total | $120,000 | 45% | $54,500 |
Set the percent complete on each line and Werx builds the G702 and G703 style pay application: $54,500 earned, $5,450 held as retainage, prior billings subtracted, current payment due calculated. No spreadsheet math, no rejected pay app over a column that does not tie out. When the GC approves extra work in the field, the change order rolls into the next pay app automatically. To go deeper on the method, see our guides to the schedule of values and WIP reporting.
Send a pay app your GC can pay online
Your GC opens a clean, branded pay application. They see the schedule of values, retainage, and the amount due. They pay by card or ACH, and you get the cash sooner.

Why electrical contractors choose Werx
Most field apps skip the hard part: real billing and job costing. Werx is built for it.
Built for the trades
Made for contractors who bill commercial and residential work, not a plain invoice tool.
Real AIA-style billing
G702 and G703 style pay apps with retainage. Most small-shop tools cannot do this.
Know your margin
Live job costs and profit on every job, so you catch losses while you can still fix them.
Works with QuickBooks
Two-way sync with QuickBooks Online on every plan, at no extra cost.
One office system
Estimates, billing, costs, time, and payments in one place. No juggling apps.
Pay apps in Werx, clean books in QuickBooks
Electrical shops usually keep QuickBooks Online for the books and a bookkeeper who likes it that way. Werx does not fight that. Pay applications, T&M invoices, payments, and job expenses sync both ways, so the job side and the accounting side always agree. Your bookkeeper closes the month without re-keying a single pay app.

Read the guideWhat is electrical contractor software?
Electrical contractor software is an office tool that handles estimates, billing, job costs, and payments for electrical companies. It replaces spreadsheets and paper for the money side of the business.
It is a big, growing trade. The U.S. has more than 83,000 electrical contracting establishments per the Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects electrician employment to grow 10 percent by 2034, about 81,000 openings a year. The shops that turn that demand into profit are the ones whose billing keeps up with their field work.
Werx is built for both sides of electrical work. Bill commercial fit-outs with AIA-style and progress billing. Invoice service calls with time and materials.
Track labor from the field, see job costs in real time, and sync to QuickBooks. You bid, bill, and get paid from one place.
