Review device, fixture, panel, and equipment counts plus calibrated conduit or containment routes on electrical sheets. Your estimator reconciles schedules, risers, one-lines, specifications, labor, and current pricing.
Start 14-day trial01 · Estimator review
Review visible outlets, switches, lighting fixtures, fire-alarm devices, controls, and other repeated symbols against legends and schedules.
Symbol counts require type, circuit, mounting, accessory, and schedule verification.
Draw calibrated lines or polylines for visible conduit, tray, and pathway geometry, separating systems and sizes with estimator-owned labels.
A measured route does not calculate conductors, slack, fittings, supports, or pulling conditions automatically.
Review visible panels, switchboards, transformers, generators, disconnects, and control equipment across plans and schedules.
Ratings, feeders, protection, coordination, and auxiliary scope come from contract documents and qualified review.
Circuiting, conductor and raceway sizing, panel schedules, feeders, accessories, supports, code, testing, temporary power, labor units, and supplier pricing require electrical estimator input. Confirm the current drawing issue, addenda, specifications, exclusions, and responsible scope before pricing.
Estimator approval remains required before quantities become a bid.
02 · Review workflow
Open the current electrical plans with relevant legends, schedules, risers, one-lines, details, and specifications available for estimator review.
Inspect pending marks on each source sheet. Accept useful detections, dismiss incorrect groups, and keep ambiguous work out of approved totals.
Add missed device or equipment counts, draw calibrated routes, rename items by system, and keep unresolved legend, schedule, riser, or specification scope explicit.
Review complete-document totals, then export CSV or create editable quote lines. Apply workspace costs, labor, and commercial terms separately.
03 · Product controls
Run an AI first pass for visible device and fixture counts, conduit and containment runs, panels and equipment. Pending groups stay on the source sheet for individual or bulk review.
Accept useful suggestions and dismiss the wrong ones before downstream use.
Add missed device or equipment counts, draw calibrated routes, rename items by system, and keep unresolved legend, schedule, riser, or specification scope explicit.
The estimator can correct, add, erase, undo, and redo the working takeoff.
Draw a known line, enter its real distance in feet or metres, and recompute measured quantities when the sheet needs an explicit measurement basis.
Lengths and areas remain editable and tied to a verified scale.
Rename selected work, apply CSI categories, and choose explicit labels so different systems, areas, or bid scopes do not collapse into one unexplained total.
Reviewed quantities stay organized for estimator and team review.
Roll quantities up by label across loaded pages. Complete-document export collects every page and stops with a clear message when the full result cannot be built.
No silent partial total is presented as complete.
Use workspace-owned material, labor, and subcontractor cost or sell rows, then carry accepted AI and manual items into editable grouped quote lines.
Company pricing and commercial approval stay under estimator control.
04 · Estimator decisions
Visible plan suggestions can be accepted or dismissed, but they do not prove that every item, note, schedule, detail, or concealed condition has been captured.
Circuiting, conductor and raceway sizing, panel schedules, feeders, accessories, supports, code, testing, temporary power, labor units, and supplier pricing require electrical estimator input.
Confirm the current issue, changed sheets, addenda, and conflicting documents. Do not treat a new AI run as an automatic revision comparison or scope decision.
Current supplier quotes, maintained cost rows, labor productivity, waste, equipment, subcontract scope, code, exclusions, overhead, markup, and risk remain separate decisions.
Buyer questions
Use the plan-linked workflow to review device and fixture counts, conduit and containment runs, panels and equipment. The exact result depends on visible drawing information, scale, labels, and estimator corrections; representative plan testing is essential.
No. Circuiting, conductor and raceway sizing, panel schedules, feeders, accessories, supports, code, testing, temporary power, labor units, and supplier pricing require electrical estimator input. BuildVision AI supports the reviewed takeoff and editable outputs; the estimator completes assemblies, pricing, labor, exclusions, and commercial approval.
Yes. Accept or dismiss pending groups, add manual counts or geometry, calibrate measured work, rename items, apply CSI categories, and keep working with undo or redo before export.
BuildVision AI exports every takeoff row to CSV with its source and review state. Quote creation uses accepted AI and manual items only. Missing pages block either output, while uncalibrated measurements appear blank in CSV and must be scaled before quote creation.
The current trial lasts 14 days. Test representative plans and review the pricing page for current plan limits and billing terms.
Your next bid
Open a representative plan, review the AI first pass, complete the scope with manual tools, then export every row with its review state or build quote lines from accepted and manual work.
