PlanElec Pro · for electrical contractors in Belgium
Floor plan, circuits, distribution board, single-line diagram and situation plan come from one project, and the AREI/RGIE self-check (the Belgian wiring regulations) reviews every change. What you enter once, you don’t have to copy into three files.
Plus teamwork: office and site work on the same project state.
No payment details · No limit on projects or circuits
Only need a single-line diagram?PlanElec Sketch, free and without an account
One installation. Everything connected.

Three steps on the sample house
Bring in what you already have, capture the installation your way and export checked documents. PV, home automation and lighting come afterwards.
Bring in what you already have: Trikker files one by one or as a whole archive, floor plans as PDF, DXF or image, and scans with AI recognition.
Trikker projects arrive in your account with single-line diagram, circuits and loads. You read the floor plan in from a PDF, DXF or image, or let the AI recognise it. Everything stays editable, and you plan the rest directly in PlanElec.
One file or the whole archive. Single-line diagram, circuits and loads arrive as a project; the situation plan stays behind.
Move your Trikker archiveImport it, set the scale and keep planning in the project.
Walls, rooms, doors and windows as a proposal that you review and correct.
With AI recognition: review the proposal, correct it and apply it in one click.

For firms with a Trikker archiveNew
Drop files, a folder or a ZIP with your Trikker projects (.trik) onto the import page. PlanElec turns them into projects in your account. All you need is a signed-in account, including “Try Pro”.
Files, a folder or a ZIP: up to 500 files per run, ZIP up to 200 MB.
The original stays attached to the project as a file. Your files on your computer are only read.
You see each file's status: ready, with notes, duplicate or error. Only then do you create the projects.
Once the files are uploaded you can close the window. An email follows at the end, and the report is available as a CSV.
Single-line diagram, circuits and loads are carried over. The situation plan stays behind, and the report lists every deviation. A single file also opens without an account in PlanElec Sketch.
When something changes
Move a device or a wall and PlanElec recalculates what depends on it. Anything that needs a professional decision is proposed – and waits for you.
Automatically routed cables are re-routed and their length recalculated. Sections you fixed and manual lengths stay as they are.
Checks again after every change and shows new or resolved notes.
Follows the circuit model. You don’t redraw it.
You assign new devices – with the tool, an automatic proposal or the assistant.
New protective devices appear as not yet placed. Auto-fill proposes a layout; known positions are kept.
Every PDF is generated from the current project state when you export. Material and cable lists are in pilot.
Your benefit: less duplicate entry and less rework when something changes on site.
Sample project, no sign-up
A fictional one-bedroom apartment, exported straight from PlanElec: single-line diagram, situation plan, distribution board and the complete PDF dossier. Open, browse, download.
Project data, installer, inspection body and every document part at a glance.
Open in PDF · page 1Check results with warnings and clearly reported gaps.
Open in PDF · page 6Dictation on site
You stand in the room and dictate the equipment. After sending, the assistant applies clear-cut changes straight away; to see what is coming first, you ask for a preview, as here. Every change can be undone in one step.
Tap “Start dictation” and say what goes into the room.
Going further
PV, home automation, lighting and the distribution board build on the same plan. You never enter anything twice.
Lay out module fields across several roof faces, assign strings to MPPT inputs and choose inverters from the Synergrid list. The yield forecast calculates each field with PVGIS data and shows monthly values plus P50 and P90 from historical weather years.

AREI in full textFree
Book 1 of the AREI in full text, right in your browser and without an account. Search by term or article number, choose the version and link to any article.
Ctrl/⌘ K opens the search. It finds article numbers first and exactly.
Version 06 applies until 31/10/2026, version 07 from 01/11/2026. Changed articles are marked.
The text exists in the three official languages. For English, the reader shows the German text.
Articles have an anchor. The self-check in Pro takes you from a finding straight to the article.
Prepared presentation of the official source. The official text prevails; acceptance is carried out by the approved inspection body.
Before you start
What is available today and what is running as a pilot.
You plan and document, PlanElec checks the supported rules; the inspection (keuring) is carried out by an approved inspection body.
Sketch or Pro
Sketch draws one single-line diagram, quickly and without an account. Pro plans the whole project, from floor plan to dossier.
For one-off diagrams, anyone switching from Trikker and homeowners.
€0, no sign-up
For installers, engineering offices and architects with whole projects.
€12 per property or €24 per month
Small business exemption scheme: no VAT is charged on these prices.
Sketch does not lock you in. What you draw there becomes a Pro project in one click: single-line diagram, boards, circuits, cables and project details. You recreate the situation plan in Pro on the floor plan.
With “Try Pro” you get to know Pro with your own project, with no payment details and no project limit. The plans: a single property for €12, once, or Pro for €24 per month with 3 seats, both excl. VAT. All details are on the pricing page. The price stays for as long as your subscription runs without a break.
No. The software checks currently supported rules against your inputs. Measurements, on-site conditions and the official assessment belong to an approved inspection body.
Yes. You import Trikker files (.trik) into Pro one by one or as a whole archive: one project per file, and the original stays attached to the project. Import existing floor plans as PDF, DXF or image – or let the AI recognise them – and model the existing installation. The self-check shows which rules it assessed and where data is still missing.
In the browser, with no installation – best on a laptop or desktop. On tablet and phone the interface adapts, and you can install PlanElec as a web app. Offline work on open projects is in pilot.
The language model runs in the EU region. The AI provider does not store the requests or use them for training. For recognition, PlanElec only sends the selected plan page or the selected photos. For dictation, the voice recording goes to a transcription service that is currently not limited to EU data centres; details are in the privacy policy.
The PlanElec assistant carries out plain-language instructions directly in your project: rooms, devices, circuits, cables, distribution board and PV. Every change is checked by the AREI self-check and can be reverted in one step. The AI also recognises floor plans from PDFs, scans or images and distribution boards from photos. Responsibility for design and installation stays with the electrical contractor, the official assessment with the inspection body.
In the AI assistant you tap the microphone and speak Dutch, French, German or English. Recognition knows technical terms such as residual current or single-line diagram. You see the recognised text and correct it if needed before sending it. The assistant then carries out the instruction; every change can be undone in one step.
Start with your own plan – or look at the sample project first.
