The scope itself

What goes into a solar installer scope of works.

Solar quotes are competitive on panels and quiet on the electrical work that actually makes the system legal.

Line items that belong on it

  • Supply and install roof mounting system to roof type
  • Supply and install panels to nominated array layout
  • Supply and install inverter to agreed location
  • Isolators, cabling and switchboard works as required
  • Commissioning, monitoring setup and handover documentation

What gets left off

  • Switchboard upgrades. Older boards often cannot take the system as it stands.
  • Roof type and access. Tile, tin and two-storey are three different install jobs.
  • Approvals and paperwork. Applications and documentation take real time.

Worth excluding in writing

  • Roof repairs or structural rectification
  • Network provider connection charges
  • Tree removal or shading rectification

Where BuildScope fits

You run the job. BuildScope does the paperwork in the middle.

Solar Installers know how to walk a job and price it. BuildScope takes the paperwork between the site meeting and the quote going out.

BuildScope does this You do this
  1. 01 Enquiry lands Client rings or emails. You book a time to look at the job.
  2. 02 Site meeting You walk the job, measure up and take your photos.
  3. 03 Brain dump Talk or type the job into BuildScope, on site or in the ute.
  4. 04 The questions BuildScope asks what a tired estimator forgets: access, protection, rubbish, patching.
  5. 05 Scope of Works A full scope, trade by trade, preliminaries first, PC and PS kept separate.
  6. 06 Price and export Check quantities and pricing, apply your margin and GST, export the client-ready PDF.
  7. 07 Send and sign You send the PDF. The acceptance page is already in there for the client to sign.
  8. 08 Job runs Book the trades and get moving. The scope is your checklist and your variation defence.

BuildScope covers steps 03 to 06. You do the trade work, it does the paperwork.

Solar Installers already running accounting software? No worries.

Build the scope in BuildScope the way you always do, then move the job into your accounting or job management software as a draft, with the PDF attached. Nothing reaches your client until you send it.

How it works

Three steps from site visit to client-ready scope.

01

Describe the job

Check the roof type, the orientation and the switchboard before you talk about panel counts.

02

Answer the questions that matter

BuildScope asks the solar questions: system size and panel count, roof type and access, inverter location, switchboard condition and approvals.

03

Review and send

Check the switchboard and approvals lines are priced or allowed for, then export.

FAQ

Questions solar installers ask before signing up.

Is BuildScope built for solar installers?
Yes. BuildScope is built around real solar installer scopes of works, with solar installers-specific line items, inclusions and wording. It is not a generic template you have to bend to fit.
Can BuildScope help solar installers avoid missed items?
That is the point. It prompts for the things solar installers commonly leave off a quote, like roof mounting and panels, so fewer items slip through before you send the scope.
What should a solar installation scope of works include?
Install and connect as separate sections. Mounting system suited to the roof type, panels with the array layout, inverter with its location, then isolators, cabling and any switchboard works, then commissioning, monitoring and handover documentation. Approvals and paperwork belong on the scope because they are time, whether you charge for them or not.
Why do solar quotes need to cover switchboard work?
Because a system cannot be connected safely or legally to a board that does not meet current requirements, and plenty of older boards do not. Whether it is included, allowed for as a provisional sum, or excluded pending inspection, saying so upfront prevents the most common solar variation of all, which lands after the panels are already on the roof.
Can I edit the scope after the AI builds it?
Always. Every line item, quantity, rate and section is editable. Reorder, add, remove or reword anything before you export.
Does BuildScope work from voice notes and photos?
Yes. Talk through the solar installer job, or drop in site notes and a PDF, and BuildScope turns it into a structured Scope of Works you review and tidy.
How does the free trial work?
7 days free with 10 scopes on us, no credit card. Build and export them however you like. After that it is $99 per user a month, everything included.
Does BuildScope work with the software I already use?
Yes. Connect it once from your account settings and any saved scope can be pushed across as a draft, carrying your line items, section headings and exclusions, with the BuildScope PDF attached. BuildScope never sends it to your client and never raises an invoice: that stays your call.
