The Market Right Now
IRA tax credits are driving the largest utility-scale solar and wind buildout in US history. EPC contractors are bidding 3–5× more projects than their estimating teams can handle at traditional speed. The firms that estimate faster, bid more — and win more.
Utility-Scale Estimating Is Repetitive, Massive, and Error-Prone
Pile Count at Utility Scale Is Days of Work
A 100MW solar farm has 30,000–50,000 ground screws or driven piles arranged in a repetitive grid across hundreds of acres. Counting them from site layout drawings by hand — zone by zone, row by row — takes days per project.
Pile count errors at this scale mean tens of thousands of dollars in material variance
AC/DC Cable Runs Span Hundreds of Acres
String wire by gauge, homerun cable by conductor size, collection feeder runs to the substation, and grounding conductor — all measured separately across civil and electrical layout drawings that don't always match.
Cable underestimates are the #1 source of margin erosion on solar projects
Civil Scope Is Massive and Tedious
Access roads, cable trenches, drainage swales, perimeter fencing, gravel pads for inverters and transformers, and construction laydown areas all live on civil drawings separate from the array layout. Each scope is measured in different units.
Civil scope gaps create costly site work surprises after NTP
Electrical BOS Counting Across Phased Projects
Combiner boxes, string inverters, central inverters, pad-mount transformers, and the collection substation are scattered across multiple electrical drawing packages — and phased projects mean the scope changes with each IFC release.
Missed inverter pads and transformer counts blow your electrical BOS budget
Site Package to EPC Proposal in 4 Steps
Upload Site Design Package
Civil layout, array layout, electrical single-line, and grading plan — any format, any MW size.
AI Maps the Array
Pile counts, tracker rows, cable runs, civil quantities, electrical BOS — all detected from the site package.
Get Zone-by-Zone BOQ
Quantities organized by electrical zone and construction phase, ready for procurement RFQs.
Send Your EPC Proposal
Professional renewable energy proposal with array, BOS, and civil quantities by phase.
AI Estimating Built for Renewable Energy Construction
The only AI takeoff tool that understands pile grids, tracker rows, solar cable runs, and civil scope at utility scale — not just commercial building plans.
Pile & Tracker Counting
AI counts every pile and tracker from site layout drawings, organized by electrical zone and construction phase. Single-axis tracker rows, fixed-tilt arrays, and pile-only scopes all handled.
Accurate pile count without counting every dot on the layout plan
Cable Run Measurement
Measures string wire footage by conductor gauge, homerun cable runs by size, collection feeder routing to the substation, and grounding conductor from electrical layout drawings.
Every cable run measured, every gauge tracked — no scale ruler required
Civil Quantity Takeoff
Access road linear footage, cable trench quantity, drainage swales, perimeter fencing, inverter and transformer gravel pads, and laydown area from civil grading and layout drawings.
Civil scope in the same takeoff — not a separate manual exercise
Electrical BOS Counting
Counts combiner boxes, string inverters, central inverters, and pad-mount transformers by rating from site electrical drawings. Substation equipment and collection system takeoff included.
Complete electrical balance-of-system from one drawing upload
Zone-by-Zone BOQ
Auto-generated bill of quantities organized by electrical zone, construction phase, and discipline — piles, trackers, cable, civil, and electrical BOS in one export. Ready for supplier RFQs.
Phased BOQ ready for procurement without manual data entry
EPC Renewable Proposals
Turn your solar or wind BOQ into a polished EPC proposal with phased pricing, owner-supplied equipment allowances, and subcontractor scopes called out. Win developer and IPP trust.

Every Renewable Construction Type, One Tool
Utility-Scale Solar (Fixed Tilt)
50–500+ MW, fixed-tilt racking, high pile density, large central inverter and substation scope
Single-Axis Tracker Projects
SAT systems with motorized tracker rows — pile counts, tracker linear footage, motor and controller counts
Agrivoltaic / Dual-Use Solar
Elevated fixed or tracker arrays over agricultural land — taller pile heights, different civil scope
Onshore Wind Farms
Turbine foundations, crane pads, access roads, collection cable, substation — civil-heavy scope at scale
Solar + Storage (BESS)
Battery enclosures, inverter-chargers, BESS pad foundations, HV interconnect — combined solar and storage takeoff
Community Solar & Distributed
1–20 MW projects at higher frequency — faster estimating cycle, same complexity per MW
Why Solar & Wind Contractors Switch to BuildVision AI
Manual Site Plan Measurement
- Counting 40,000 piles from a grid layout takes days
- Scale errors multiply across a 500-acre site
- No bandwidth to bid the next project
General Commercial Takeoff Tools
- Built for buildings, not solar or wind array layouts
- No pile grid, tracker row, or cable run intelligence
- Manual clicking on every element
Procore Estimating
- No solar-specific intelligence
- Still requires manual takeoff before entry
- No zone-by-zone BOQ for phased EPC projects
Outsourced Solar Estimating
- $5,000–20,000 per project
- 1–2 week turnaround hurts bid velocity
- Limited to the estimator's project experience
