"First takeoff, I spent 20 minutes reviewing the counts on a 47-page commercial office. I had done the same set manually — took me 6 hours. The AI found an area I missed. Sold."

What You Get Back
Get your electrical takeoff in the format you need. Export to Excel for pricing, PDF for supplier quotes, or CSV for import into your estimating software. Results organized by material category.
Any PDF format works — CAD exports, scanned drawings, permit sets up to 150MB. Drag and drop or browse. We've processed 47-page commercial permit sets, multi-building residential packages, and hand-drawn TI plans.
Construction-trained AI reads your legends, schedules, notes, and drawings — understanding trade-specific symbols the way an experienced estimator would. Not generic object detection. Trade-specific symbol recognition trained on thousands of real plan sets.
Anything the AI isn't confident about gets flagged — with the exact page and location shown. You verify flagged items manually. Everything else ships in your Excel. Most contractors check flagged items in 5-10 minutes.
Download as Excel, CSV, or JSON. Import directly into PlanSwift, Accubid, or your estimating software. Or price it right there — the counts are organized exactly the way suppliers need them.

What You Get Back
Not a vague estimate. Not a rough count. A contractor-ready Excel spreadsheet organized by category, location, and trade — the same format you'd hand to a supplier or use in your bid.
-
Trade-Specific AI — Not Generic Trained on electrical plans specifically. Understands NEC symbols, panel schedule formats, riser diagrams, and one-line drawings — not just shapes and lines.
-
Flags, Doesn't Guess Low-confidence items get flagged with page and location. You know exactly what to verify. No silent errors buried in a spreadsheet.
-
Your Bid Stays Yours The AI gives you counts. You apply your pricing, your labor rates, your markup. The strategy is still yours — that's what wins jobs.

6 reviews
"The flagging system is what got me. It doesn't pretend to be perfect. Shows me exactly what it's unsure about. I verify those items, everything else I trust. That's how I want a tool to behave."
"Ran it on a custom home I'd already counted. 94% match on my spot-check. The 6% difference was a panel schedule I read differently — both counts were defensible. Good enough for bidding."
"We're bidding twice as many jobs now with the same estimator. He reviews AI counts instead of starting from scratch. That's how you grow without hiring."
"Sprinkler layouts are complex — density zones, obstruction calcs, riser diagrams. The AI catches head counts and pipe footage I'd need hours to verify manually. Especially useful on large commercial projects."
"No subscription is the key for me. I pay credits when I bid, not monthly whether I use it or not. Slow months cost me nothing. Busy months I load up credits at the 10-pack rate and save 25%."
Electrical Takeoff Questions
Answers to what electricians actually ask before they run their first takeoff.
What electrical items does it count?
Receptacles (all types), switches (including 3-way, 4-way, dimmers), lighting fixtures (all mounting types), J-boxes, panel schedules, breaker counts, wire footage by gauge, conduit by size and type. If it's on your electrical plan set, it's counted.
- All NEC device types including GFCI, AFCI, dedicated circuits
- Panel schedules with breaker sizes and loading
How does wire footage get calculated?
Homerun distance from device to panel is calculated from plan geometry, ceiling heights in the schedule, and routing assumptions. Wire footage by gauge (12 AWG, 10 AWG, etc.) is estimated from device location and circuit path. Results typically run within 5-8% of field-measured actuals.
- Homerun calculations based on device-to-panel distances
- Within 5-8% of field-measured actuals on typical commercial plans
Does conduit get counted separately?
Yes — EMT, rigid, and flex conduit are counted separately with footage by diameter. Fittings, connectors, and junction boxes along the run are included. Results organized by conduit type and size for material ordering.
- EMT, rigid, and flex separated by diameter
- Fittings and connectors included in count
How accurate is it on commercial electrical plans?
95%+ on standard commercial drawings. Low-confidence items are flagged — you see what to verify and where. Most contractors report the flagged item review takes 10-15 minutes on a full commercial set.
- 95%+ on standard commercial and residential plans
- Flagged items include page number and location
How long does an electrical takeoff take?
About 15 minutes for a typical 30-page commercial electrical set. Larger sets (80-100 pages) run 25-40 minutes. You'll get an email when it's done. Review of flagged items takes most contractors 10-20 minutes additional.
- 30-page set: ~15 minutes AI analysis
- Plus 10-20 minutes to review flagged items
