Before you order the wire
Does this replace an electrician’s quotation?
No. It turns room counts into a point list and a wire-length range so you can talk to the showroom or your electrician. Cable size, the distribution board and the final metres come from the floor plan and the load.
Where do the wire rates come from?
The optional Havells button divides the Lifeline Plus S3 90 m coil showroom price by 90. That figure is inclusive of GST. Conduit, switches, the distribution board, earthing and labour stay blank until you type a rate.
Can Sathvik quote this plan?
Yes. Send the plan on WhatsApp. The Naini showroom confirms Havells wire, switchgear and the GST price. Labour is between you and the electrician.
