Copper moved.
Your price book didn't.
Price book and estimate template for electricians, built in Google Sheets. Bid Check watches your prices and flags what changed before you bid.
Built for electricians who do their own estimating. Not a generic template with your trade bolted on.
What you get
Everything you need to bid, invoice, and get paid.
Seven features in the free template. No new apps, no logins. Works inside the Google account you already have.
Price Book
Every material and labor rate in one place, organized by category. Enter it once and every estimate pulls from the same numbers.
Working Estimate
Build the bid the way you actually think about a job, line by line, cost and markup both visible. Nothing is hidden from you on your own numbers.
Customer-facing Quote
One click turns your working estimate into a clean quote the customer sees. Itemized and marked up, no raw cost anywhere on the page.
Payment Schedule and Invoice
Break the job into payments tied to the total automatically. When it is time to bill, the invoice uses the same numbers, so nothing gets re-entered.
A place for what is not included
Contractors kept telling us the same thing: standard templates never had room to write down what is excluded from the bid. This one does, built in from the start.
The difference
The bid that goes out with Bid Check, and the one without.
Copper jumped 11% since March. Your price book still says March. The bid goes out, and the margin you counted on is gone before the first truck rolls.
Same sheet, same bid. This time Bid Check flags copper before you send it, 94 days old and priced wrong. You fix three cells and the bid goes out with numbers you can stand behind.
The software didn't win the job. It kept the job worth winning.
Who built it

FAQ
Questions, answered straight.
Is it actually free?
Yes. The templates and the core price book are free, pay what you want, including zero. Bid Check is the only paid piece, and you will know exactly when you need it.
Does it work with how I already do things?
If you already bid and invoice in Google Sheets, TightNumbers drops into what you have. If you are starting fresh, the free template gives you a clean price book built to work with it from day one.
What is Bid Check, and do I need it?
Bid Check shows you the dollar impact of a price move on any open bid. Free gets you the price book, estimate, quote, and invoice. You will know you need Bid Check the moment copper jumps and you are mid-bid.
What is the difference between free and Pro?
Free gets you the price book, the estimate, the quote, and the invoice. Pro adds Bid Check, which flags the dollar impact of a price move before you bid, not just that a price moved.
Is there a plumbing or HVAC version?
Not yet. Electrical is first. Plumbing and HVAC are coming, built the same way, one trade at a time.
What if I need help?
Email [email protected]. Answers within 48 hours, usually faster. It is one person, and it is the person who built it.
Your price book is getting older right now.
Every week it sits untouched, the gap between what you bid and what things cost gets wider.
