A must-have tool

Contractors filling in forms and writing letters are not earning money. Cutting down the office work is possible with a CD produced by ex-contractor Roy Armstrong. When he left East Midlands Electricity Roy produced a simple software package that contained templates of all the forms, letters and documents that a small to medium-sized contractor would need. The templates can be customised or simply filled in and printed off. For a contractor starting up, contemplating certification for Part P or moving up the ladder and after a more professional appearance to the company letters and documents, this is a valuable tool. The Electrical Contracting Simplified (ECS) software produces proven documents and letters built on Roy?s 35-years of practical design, estimating and management experience. Once installed, the easy-to-use template can be punch up, filled in and printed off. Simple to use? ?If you cannot understand it in two minutes, we don?t do it,? says Roy. ?We know these templates, design tips and spreadsheets work because contractors are using them and telling us how useful they are.? Health and Safety, short cuts for estimating, job management, company policy, operating and maintenance, design, test and inspection help sheets and more than 45 different templates for all those tricky letters that a busy firm will have to write. No more chewing the end of a pencil wondering if there?s a better way of putting it, the templates include letters for chasing up late payers, issuing staff warnings, accident reports and schedules for ?as fitted? drawings. For a limited period readers can get a special deal on Electrical Contracting Simplified, which is a CD collection of templates, spreadsheets and design tips run on Microsoft Office and Excel.
