ElectricalElectrical Code Compliance3MediumJourneyman Electrician

Electrician lacks knowledge and authority to determine or adjust breaker trip settings, with no documented settings available and unclear escalation path to an engineer.

No documentation of correct trip settings in plans, and no clear process for electricians to consult engineers or adjust settings safely.

Role-based access: electricians view settings; engineers can update and approve changes
Integrated messaging workflow to request engineer review or approval for changes
Audit log documenting who changed settings and when for compliance

Target Users: Journeyman electricians, foremen, and electrical engineers in commercial construction and maintenance.

Revenue Model: $50/mo per project or $20/mo per user SaaS subscription
