What does PlanElec plan automatically?

PlanElec can place standard room equipment and spotlights, then create editable suggestions for consumers, switching chains, circuits, cable specifications, phase distribution and board population. You remain in control and must review every suggestion professionally.

Which documents can I export?

The single-line diagram, situation plan and assisted self-check report are centrally available as PDFs. Circuit, material and cable lists plus the combined installation dossier are in pilot; the distribution-board PDF requires an active feature flag.

Is the schema officially usable for inspection?

PlanElec creates a single-line diagram and situation plan from your project data. The integrated full rule text is Book 1, Version 06, but the self-check evaluates only the currently supported rules that can be assessed from the recorded data. Only an accredited inspection body performs the official assessment.

I'm a homeowner, not an electrician. Can I use this?

Yes. PlanElec is designed first for electrical contractors and planners, while remaining open to hands-on homeowners. Have your inputs and generated plans checked by a qualified electrician before installation and inspection.

How much does PlanElec cost?

Early Access is currently free and no payment processing is active. Future paid offerings and terms will be announced clearly before activation.

Can I use PlanElec for existing installations?

PlanElec can model new builds and existing installations, including installation era and Part 8 guidance. The assisted check does not cover every special or transitional case in full.

Where is my data stored?

Your projects are stored encrypted in the EU. You can download a copy of your data or delete your account at any time.

What languages is PlanElec available in?

PlanElec is available in German, Dutch, French and English — all official languages of Belgium plus English.

planelec.be/wizard/rooms

Duplicate entry. Scattered files. Late corrections.

Electrical planning needs one continuous project model.

Documentation beside the plan

Managing plans, circuits and switchboards separately means entering the same project data more than once and manually carrying every change across.

Errors surface late

Missing data or conflicting plans lead to questions and corrections when the project should already be complete.

No project ever found again

Schemas in different formats, scattered across drives and email attachments. When a client needs the existing plan, the search begins.

PlanElec brings the planning steps available today into one project.

From floor plan to reliable project documentation

The current Early Access workflow in four steps

Capture your building

Create floors and rooms. The guided workflow keeps project and building data together.

Export documents

Download the single-line diagram and situation plan as PDF. Export is currently free during Early Access.

Distribution board and single-line diagram

Populate the board from the electrical topology and review the generated single-line diagram.

Place protective devices and circuits automatically or manually on DIN rails.
Manage boards, RCDs, MCBs and connections as one topology.
Generate the single-line diagram from the same source data.
