Electrical contractor software that shows you today's position
Generic accounts packages tell you what happened last month. Eque2 tells you what is happening on site today, and whether every project is on track to make money. For commercial and finance leads running electrical installation work on new build, fit-out and refurbishment projects, and the high volume reactive jobs alongside them.
The platform 3000+ construction businesses rely on
The problem today
The numbers arrive too late to change anything
What commercial and finance leads in electrical contracting are dealing with before any of this is connected.
The same information, entered twice
Order processing sits in one system and the accounts sit in another, so the same information gets entered into both. Spreadsheets fill the gap between them. That means duplication, errors and no real view of where projects stand today.
You find out after the fact
Tracking costs accurately against each individual job is hard, so profitability is a question rather than a number. Whether a project made or lost money often only becomes clear once the work is finished.
Site sends it back six different ways
Purchase orders, variations, timesheets and expenses are handled manually. Operatives return information in whatever format suits them, so allocating labour cost to the right project takes guesswork and things go missing between site and the office.
How we help
Built around how electrical contractors actually work
Four things this changes, from the estimate through to the cost report.
01 One platform
One system, instead of a spreadsheet between two systems
Eque2 replaces the manual, fragmented setup with one platform, so the same information stops being entered twice. Duplicate data entry goes, errors drop, and commercial and finance leads get a live view across every project rather than a monthly reconstruction of one.
02 Job costing & profitability
Cost against the job, while the job is live
Track labour, materials, plant and subcontractor costs against specific projects, so profitability is a live number rather than a year-end discovery. You see which jobs are performing and which are drifting, while there is still margin to protect.
03 Purchase orders, variations, timesheets & expenses
The operational detail, handled properly
A formal purchase order system manages commitments and invoices. Variations get tracked and valued rather than absorbed into the contract. Operatives submit timesheets and expenses from a mobile app, so cost information reaches the office faster and labour lands against the right project.
04 Estimating connected to delivery
Win the job and the budget moves with it
Eque2 estimating connects to the commercial and finance side, so when an estimate is won the budget and item data transfer in a single click. No manual rekeying, and project and procurement teams act straight away. Projects start faster and less money goes on the friction between the two stages.

FAQS
What is the best software for electrical contractors?
The right electrical contractor software tracks labour, materials and subcontractor cost against each job. It handles purchase orders, variations, timesheets and expenses. It also carries the won estimate straight into delivery. Eque2 does all three, with Construct running alongside Sage or Xero and Evision running the whole business on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
How will this help me make more money on projects?
Eque2 helps you spot margin erosion before it hits the P&L. Job costing, labour, materials, subcontractors and committed cost come into one view, so you identify issues earlier and act while there is still time to protect profit.
How will it improve cash flow?
Eque2 gives you visibility of applications, retentions, subcontractor liabilities and expected cash movements in one place. Finance teams forecast more accurately, meet fewer surprises and collect cash sooner.
How quickly can I spot a job that's going off track?
As costs, timesheets and purchase orders are recorded, Eque2 gives live visibility of project performance. You see problems developing during the project, not weeks later at month-end.
Can my team use it without extensive training?
Yes. Eque2 is built specifically for construction companies, so the workflows, terminology and processes reflect how contractors already work. That makes it simpler to pick up for finance, commercial and operational teams.
What ROI do electrical contractor customers typically achieve?
Value comes from less administration, fewer spreadsheets, faster reporting, better cost control and clearer visibility of project performance. TH Mechanical & Electrical cut bills of quantities from around two hours to seconds. The biggest gain is usually finding problems sooner, so they get fixed before they become losses.
Why is this better than using Sage or Xero and spreadsheets?
Sage and Xero are strong finance systems, but they were not built for construction. Eque2 adds job costing, CIS, retentions, applications and contract reporting on top, so you get one connected view of project and financial performance without replacing your accounting platform.
