Outsourced Electrical Panel & System Design for Integrators
When a project needs a proper single-line diagram, a panel layout and a cable schedule but your team is busy on site, PanelCraft's engineers design it for you. We work from your brief to a full documentation package — sized to the job, never a fixed template.
How the design service works
Brief & requirements
You describe the building, rooms, existing situation and what's needed — electrical only, or electrical plus a smart-home layer.
Concept draft
Our engineers return an initial layout and schematic for you to review before anything is finalized.
Revision rounds
You comment, we refine. The number of rounds depends on project scope — there's no fixed count built into the price.
Final package & optional supervision
You receive the complete documentation set for installation and sign-off, with optional engineering support while the work is carried out.
Why outsource the design
deliverable types available
From single-line diagrams to as-built documentation — the exact set you get always depends on project scope, not a fixed package.
Fewer errors on site
A clear plan before work starts means less improvising and less redoing once cables and enclosures are already in place.
Faster installation
Your electrician or installer works from a ready schedule instead of figuring out routing and device placement on site.
Documentation that holds up
Diagrams and schedules are structured for handover and inspection, aligned with applicable technical standards.
Trades coordinated on paper
Power, low-voltage data (KNX, UTP) and smart-home devices are planned together, so routes and enclosures don't collide later.
Extra engineering capacity
Use us for the projects you don't have time to design in-house, without hiring an in-house designer.
What's included
The exact set of documents depends on your project's scope and whether it includes automation — this is the range we draw from.
- {'t': 'Single-line / schematic diagram', 'd': 'The electrical concept in PDF or DWG, showing how circuits and protection are structured.'}
- {'t': 'Panel layout & schedule', 'd': 'Physical arrangement inside the enclosure with spare space accounted for, plus a schedule listing every circuit.'}
- {'t': 'Cable & circuit schedule', 'd': 'An editable table listing cable routes, types and circuit references for the installer to work from.'}
- {'t': 'Device / BOM list', 'd': 'A bill of materials covering the devices and components the design calls for.'}
- {'t': 'Smart-home topology & scenario spec', 'd': 'For projects that include automation — device topology and control-scenario documentation, alongside the electrical set.'}
Frequently asked questions
How much does a design cost, and how long does it take?
Both depend entirely on the size and complexity of the project — we don't quote a fixed price or turnaround in the abstract. Send us your brief and we'll come back with a scope-based quote.
Who actually connects and signs off the installation?
We deliver the design and documentation. The final connection, installation and sign-off is always carried out by a certified electrician, in line with applicable national wiring rules.
Is this only for smart-home / KNX projects?
No — this is our general electrical panel and system design service. If your project is specifically KNX-based, our smart-home/KNX-specific service may be a closer fit.
We already have a system in mind — can you still help?
Yes, that's the typical case. If you haven't chosen a system yet, our system design and architecture guidance can help with that decision first.
What format do we receive the documents in?
Concept diagrams are usually delivered as PDF or DWG; schedules such as the cable list and BOM come as editable spreadsheets so you can keep updating them on site.
