Features
The operational record your crew, office, GC, and AI can trust.
AIA Billing From the Job Record
Generate G702/G703-style pay applications from the schedule of values created when the estimate becomes a job. Retention, WIP, and cash-flow context stay tied to the work instead of living in side spreadsheets.

GC Portal for Approvals and Status
Give your GC a no-login link for job progress, documents, invoices, daily logs, inspections, and change orders. The portal becomes a clean external view of the same source of truth your team runs on.

Estimates That Become the Job
Build electrical bids with assemblies, options, material pricing, and branded PDFs. When a GC approves, Faraday carries the budget, phases, and schedule of values forward automatically.
| Description | Qty | Ext. |
|---|---|---|
| 20A Receptacle Rough-in | 24 EA | $444 |
| 3/4" EMT Conduit | 450 LF | $1,463 |
| 200A Panel w/ Breakers | 1 LS | $1,850 |
| LED 2x4 Troffer | 36 EA | $5,220 |
Phase-Level Job Truth
Rough-in. Trim. Devices. Fixtures. Commissioning. Track every phase with budget vs. actual labor, materials, documents, inspections, and closeout work tied back to billing.
Compliance Context Built In
Track OSHA, NFPA 70E, electrical licenses, CPR, inspections, certified payroll, and prevailing wage context alongside the jobs that need them. Faraday keeps compliance tied to execution, not buried in folders.
| Name | Certification | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Danny R. | Journeyman License | Valid |
| Jake M. | OSHA 30 | 60 days |
| Carlos V. | NFPA 70E | 30 days |
| Maria S. | CPR / First Aid | 30 days |
Crew Scheduling Connected to Work
Assign workers by job and phase, catch conflicts, save crew templates, and keep field time flowing back into actuals and T&M billing. Scheduling stops being a separate whiteboard.
AI Built In
AI is useful because the job context is structured.
Estimate drafts from scope
Describe the job in plain English. Faraday prices electrical line items with materials and labor for review.
Plan and document extraction
Upload plans, permits, specs, or reports. Faraday OCRs, structures, classifies, and searches the details.
Operational document search
Find the spec, panel note, permit condition, inspection result, or closeout file by meaning, not just file name.
Assistant with job context
Ask about job health, outstanding invoices, change orders, schedules, NEC calculations, and next actions.
What's the status on the Riverside TI job? How much have we billed so far?
Riverside Tenant Improvement is in progress. Here's the snapshot:
You're 50% billed on a 65% complete job. You could send a progress bill for the next draw. Want me to generate one?
How It Works
The money path, connected end to end
Read the Scope
Upload plans and documents, then search the details your estimate depends on.
Read the Scope
Upload plans and documents, then search the details your estimate depends on.
Build the Estimate
Price assemblies, options, labor, materials, markup, and tax in an electrical bid record.
Run the Job
Convert the win into phases, schedules, time, materials, documents, inspections, and change orders.
Bill the Proof
Generate AIA-style progress bills, send the GC portal link, track views, payments, and retainage.
Why Faraday
Generic software can store the data.
Faraday understands the work.
Residential dispatch tools
Built for HVAC service calls. No AIA billing, no retention tracking. $42K+/year for features you won’t use.
Small-shop field service
Works great until you need AIA billing. No schedule of values. No GC portal. You hit the ceiling at $1M.
Enterprise platforms
Built for GCs managing 50 subs. Volume-based pricing. 3–6 month implementations. You’re a data-entry endpoint.
Plan management tools
Great for drawings. Can’t send an invoice, track retention, or generate a pay application.
Before Faraday
- Plan notes, estimates, schedules, and billing live in different places
- Change orders discovered after the work is already done
- GCs call for status because there is no shared record
- Retention, pay apps, and invoice status tracked by hand
After Faraday
- One connected record from plan upload to final payment
- Approved changes flow into contract value and SOV billing
- GC portal shows status, documents, invoices, logs, and approvals
- AI can search, draft, calculate, and act from real job context
Faraday is the operating layer for electrical subs: structured enough for AI, practical enough for the field.

Testimonials
Trusted by electrical contractors
“Billing used to eat my whole Sunday. Now I pull up the schedule of values, click generate, and the pay app is done. My PM at Turner actually asked what changed.”
Danny Kovacs
Owner, Kovacs Electric

“I got tired of the ‘hey what’s the status on Unit 4’ calls three times a week. Now I just text the GC a portal link. Haven’t gotten one of those calls in two months.”

Operations Manager, Apex Power Systems

“We were on Jobber for a year and outgrew it fast — no retention tracking, no AIA format, nothing. Looked at Procore but that’s a GC tool with GC pricing. Faraday is the first thing that actually fits how we run jobs.”

Common questions
I’m on a service dispatch tool and hitting the ceiling. Will this be different?
Yes. Faraday is built around subcontract workflows: estimates that become jobs, schedules that feed actuals, change orders that update contract value, and AIA billing tied to the SOV.
How is this different from residential contractor software?
Residential tools are built around dispatching techs to homes. Faraday is built around commercial electrical work under GCs: multi-phase jobs, progress billing, retainage, documents, inspections, and approvals.
Our GC uses an enterprise platform. Do we need our own?
Yes. Their platform is their command center, not yours. Faraday gives your team its own job record and shares a clean portal view back to the GC when they need status, documents, invoices, or approvals.
Can my crew use this on their phones?
Yes. The web app works in any mobile browser. And a native iOS app is coming soon with one-tap time tracking, home screen widgets, Live Activities, Face ID, and offline support.
How long does setup take?
Days, not months. Import your projects, invite your team, start billing. No multi-week onboarding program. No implementation fee.
What does it cost?
Plans start at $99/month, designed for $500K–$5M shops. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial.
Turn every job

Plans, estimates, crews, time, materials, changes, invoices, and GC approvals in one operating record built for electrical subcontractors.
At $99–$299/month, most contractors recover the annual cost in their first billing cycle.
