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.
Early Access for electrical planning in Belgium
Electrical documentation.In minutes.
From floor plan to single-line diagram and situation plan.
Plan the floor plan, electrical topology and distribution board in one project — with an assisted AREI/RGIE self-check and central PDF export.

One project model
From floor plan to reliable project documentation
The current Early Access workflow in four steps
Create storeys and rooms — or import an existing plan as PDF, DXF or photo. Several storeys on one sheet can be split apart during import.
Place electrical equipment from the integrated symbol catalog and connect it to rooms and circuits.
Assign equipment to circuits and plan protective devices and the switchboard from the same electrical topology.
Download the single-line diagram and situation plan as PDF. Export is currently free during Early Access.
Current step
wizard/roomsCabinet and diagram
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.

Why it stalls today
Duplicate entry. Scattered files. Late corrections.
Electrical planning needs one continuous project model.
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.
Self-check, not a certificate
Assisted AREI/RGIE self-check
Automated checks flag modelled errors and missing data. The integrated full rule text is Book 1, Version 06; the check logic covers it only partially and does not replace an official inspection.
- For contractors, planners and hands-on homeowners
- PRO-FIRST
- Single-line diagram and situation plan available
- Full rule text integrated — check logic partial
- Book 1 · V06
Assisted AREI/RGIE self-check
- Check rules that can be derived from the entered project data.
- Clearly see which areas were not assessed or only assessed partially.
- Use the result for preparation, never as an inspection certificate.
Available in early access
What is available in PlanElec today
One shared project model for planning, documentation and professional self-checks.
Floor plan and shared project model
Capture the building, floors, rooms and installation data once, then use them throughout the planning workflow.
Automatic room equipment
Start with suggested standard equipment, then adjust every placed element yourself.
Automatic electrical planning
Let PlanElec create editable suggestions for connections, circuits, cables and phases.
Distribution board and single-line diagram
Populate the board from the electrical topology and review the generated single-line diagram.
Assisted AREI/RGIE self-check
See supported checks, input errors and explicitly reported coverage gaps.
Pilot
Documents and installation dossier
Export individual plans and reports or bundle selected parts into a pilot dossier.
Documents
Turn one project into a structured document package
Download the single-line diagram, situation plan and self-check report directly. Circuit, material and cable lists are in pilot; the distribution-board plan is available behind a feature flag.
Fictitious pilot project for illustration. These documents support preparation but do not replace professional review or the official inspection.

Bill of materials for an electrical installation: which items belong on it?
Seven item groups, how they derive from the single-line diagram and the position plan, the items that are routinely forgotten — earthing material, boxes, cable allowance, spare ways — and where the AREI fixes a quantity and where it does not.
