Use AI for a reviewable first pass of visible electrical devices and equipment, then complete estimator-chosen routes with calibrated manual tools. Legends, schedules, risers, one-lines, details, specifications, code, labor, and pricing remain explicit review steps before export or quoting.
Current workflow
Review plan-linked suggestions for visible outlets, switches, fixtures, devices, panels, controls, and equipment against the source sheet.
Set or verify the sheet scale, then use line or polyline tools for the conduit, tray, feeder, or other routes the estimator chooses to measure.
Roll accepted AI and manual quantities up by label across loaded pages, with incomplete page coverage disclosed before export or quoting.
Export the complete reviewed document to CSV or create editable quote lines, then apply company costs, labor, exclusions, and commercial terms separately.
Estimator checklist
Confirm symbol types, fixture and equipment schedules, panel schedules, keyed notes, mounting requirements, and conflicting quantities.
Add feeders, gear, distribution, conductors, raceways, vertical scope, and accessories that a floor-plan count or measured route cannot establish alone.
Review wiring methods, products, supports, testing, firestopping, identification, temporary power, design responsibility, and applicable code requirements.
Use current supplier and subcontractor quotes plus company labor units, crew factors, equipment, escalation, access, and project conditions.
From input to output
Start with the current plan set, related schedules, and bid revision.
Review plan-linked suggestions for visible device and equipment symbols on their source sheets.
Accept or dismiss suggestions, add manual counts, calibrate estimator-chosen routes, and reconcile the supporting documents.
Verify complete-document coverage, then export CSV or create editable quote lines for estimator-owned pricing and approval.
Common questions
No. Floor plans are one input. The estimator must reconcile legends, schedules, risers, one-lines, details, specifications, addenda, code and design requirements, vendor quotes, labor assumptions, exclusions, and risk.
Visible repeated symbols such as fixtures, outlets, switches, devices, panels, controls, and equipment are suitable review targets. Treat each suggestion as a first pass and verify it against drawing evidence and schedules.
The estimator chooses the route, verifies or calibrates the sheet scale, and draws a line or polyline. The resulting length remains plan-linked and editable; it does not determine conductor size, fittings, supports, vertical scope, or labor by itself.
CSV preserves every takeoff row with its source and review state. Accepted AI and manual work can be rolled up across the complete document or carried into editable quote lines. Missing pages block either output; missing scale leaves measured CSV quantities blank and blocks quote creation.
Use the contractor’s current supplier quotes, maintained workspace costs, labor units, crew productivity, equipment, project factors, and approved markups. Plan recognition is not a live market-price or labor source.
The current trial lasts 14 days. Test representative electrical plans and review the pricing page for current plan limits and billing terms.
