WireSketch - Electric Planner

New: snap Before & After photos of every wall, floor and ceiling — the open surface with cables exposed, then the finished result. Export a Before & After PDF.

Design your electrical layout on a photo of your actual wall — sockets, switches, lights, EV charger — and hand your electrician a plan they can price. Scan, safety zones, panels, solar.

HOW IT WORKS

Photo your wall, start on a blank canvas, or scan the room. Set dimensions in cm — region-aware zones and heights appear. Place fixtures. Export to PDF, PNG, or CSV — annotated photo or clean IEC 60617 schematic.

SCAN YOUR ROOM (Pro)

Pan a LiDAR iPhone or iPad once around the room — it recognizes walls, openings, even furniture. Every wall becomes a measured canvas with doors and windows drawn at true size and position. Review the measurements before the plan is created; adjust or add openings anytime.

ROOM SKETCH SHARING

Export any wall or property as a calibrated Room Sketch — photo + scale in an open format read by companion planners (PipeSketch for plumbing, RenovMate for renovation): every trade on the same measured room.

HOMES — GROUP ROOMS UNDER ONE ROOF

Group rooms under a House, Flat, Garage, or Commercial property. GPS resolves the electrical region; every room shares one code.

CIRCUIT PANELS (Pro)

Lay out every breaker — label, amps, curve. The wand auto-fills the panel from your fixtures: appliances get dedicated circuits, EV chargers the right amperage. Live warnings flag overloads. Main + sub-panels, printable Panel Report PDF.

THE RENOVATION BRIEF (Pro)

The full PDF for your electrician: cover, wall sketches, materials list, plus a "Questions for my electrician" checklist to discuss first.

40+ FIXTURE TYPES

Sockets, switches, dimmers, lights, Cat6/TV outlets, floor heating, kitchen appliances, outdoor sockets, garden lights, EV chargers, smoke detectors, RCD/GFCI, junction boxes, conduit, distribution boards.

SAFETY ZONES BY REGION

Four standards, named by the standard not the region: DIN 18015 + VDE 0100 (DE; a start for AT/CH/NL), BS 7671 (UK, 18th ed. A2 2022), NEC base (US planning reference, not jurisdiction-compliant), AS/NZS 3000 (AU/NZ). Wet rooms apply IEC 60364 Zone 0/1/2. Outdoor: IP65/IP67 + 60 cm burial.

Limits we don't hide. France (NF C 15-100), Spain, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, and Canada aren't separate selectors — layout planning only. NEC state amendments and AFCI dwelling-unit rules are out of scope. A licensed electrician must verify before installation.

ROOM TYPES + TEMPLATES (Pro)

Dry room, wet room, kitchen, outdoor — each with fixture heights and installation rules. 17 layouts from home to workshop and commercial.

CABLE & MATERIAL ESTIMATE

Per-circuit cable type and size (NYM-J for EU, Twin & Earth for UK, NM-B for US, TPS for AUS), total length, conduit, plus material and labor cost estimates.

KNOWLEDGE BASE

33 cited entries on standards, symbols, and formulas. Browse the whole library and read the core articles free; the full set and the four converters (Watts↔Amps, AWG↔mm², voltage drop, solar yield) are Pro.

SOLAR PLANNER (separate purchase)

Plan your solar system from a satellite snapshot. Automatic panel packing, yearly yield, inverter & battery sizing.
