Components overview

Components are the core of the targeted quoting system. This is where you create, edit, and define what items end up in your quote or pricing. Each component has a name, measurement type, material price, labor price, waste settings, optional pitch multiplier (for roof space runs), the ability to add to orders, and more.

What can be a component?

Cables, conduit, trunking, switchboards, distribution boards, consumer units, outlets, switches, light fittings, downlights, circuit breakers, isolators, data points, smoke detectors, exhaust fans, EV chargers - absolutely anything you supply or install on a job can be configured as a component.

Labor rates (hourly or per item), call-out fees, permit costs, and hire items can all be components too.

You may only have 10 or 15 key components that cover most of your jobs, or you may build out a full library of hundreds. Either way, you can create and fully customise everything about them.

Why components matter

Set them up once and every quote after that is faster, more consistent, and harder to get wrong. You update a cable drum price once and every new quote uses the new price.

The library scales with the work you do. Residential fit-outs, commercial installs, solar, data cabling, and industrial work all live in the same library - just set up the components relevant to each job type.

Extras vs Main components

Most components are Main (core job items). Extras are a separate bucket for one-off items, items you want recorded but hidden from the customer quote, call-out fees, travel, or anything else that sits outside the main scope of work. See Components vs Extras.

Tier limits

Each plan has a lifetime cap on how many active components you can keep in your library:

Plan	Components (lifetime)
Trial	10
Starter	10
Growth	15
Professional	25
Pro Plus	50

New accounts are seeded with 8 starter components, so you start at 8 of your cap. Soft-deleted (inactive) components don't count toward the cap.

When you're at the cap, the + Add Component button opens an upgrade modal. Hard-delete components you no longer need to make room, or upgrade your tier.
