AI-Powered Takeoff and Estimating Tools for Electrical Contractors
Are your electrical bids taking longer to pull together than your cable runs?
Products for Every Step of Your Workflow
Electrical bids demand precise counts of outlets, switches, and more runs across complex plans. Our digital tools help you speed up takeoffs, tighten quantities, and build accurate, competitive estimates faster so your team spends more time on profitable work and less time chasing counts.
On-Screen Takeoff®
- Run AI-powered takeoffs that return area, linear, and count quantities in seconds, giving you a fast head start.
- Customize your counts with recognizable industry symbols and organized Conditions so you can see quantities by room, system, or panel at a glance.
- Quickly count electrical items like outlets, switches, and lights, and measure linear distances for conduits and cable runs directly from your digital plans.
Quick Bid®
- Assemble detailed electrical estimates quickly by converting On-Screen Takeoff quantities into material and labor costs.
- Review and revise estimates as pricing or scope changes, with automatic recalculation instead of rebuilding bids from scratch.
- Set up customized material databases for the types and sizes of electrical jobs you bid most often, so standard assemblies are just a click away.
Digital Production Control®
- Track electrical crew hours and progress in the field, so you can see where rough-in, trim, and device installation are ahead or behind schedule.
- Compare estimated hours to actual productivity and use that history to sharpen future electrical bids and protect margins.
- Document completion stages, changes, and total man-hours, creating a reliable record you can reference if schedule or scope questions arise.
How Electrical Contractors Are Using AI-Powered Takeoffs to Turn Hours of Counting into Minutes
Takeoff Boost has unique tools designed for electrical contractors, which cuts takeoff time by up to 95%. See how AI-powered tools can eliminate time-consuming tasks by automating measurements, so electrical professionals can focus on pricing, strategy, and winning more bids.
Net Areas
Automatically segments each room and calculates net area along the inside edge of exterior and interior walls.
Footprint Areas
Detects and measures building footprint along the outside edge of exterior walls.
Ceiling Areas
Finds ceiling areas and splits them into gypsum board (GWB) and acoustical ceiling tile (ACT) or by ceiling type when specified.
Wall Linear Footage
Calculates total wall linear footage for standard walls on architectural floorplans.
Walls by Type
Breaks wall linears out by partition type when those types are labeled on the plan (e.g., different stud/gypsum assemblies).
Wall Surface Area
Generates painting linears for both sides of interior walls, giving painters a fast baseline for surface area quantities.
Existing Wall Detection
Identifies existing walls so you can exclude them from new work and avoid over-counting when bidding remodels, build-outs, or partial renovations.
Windows and Window Types
Finds windows and can classify them by window type based on plan tags and symbols.
Doors and Double Doors
Detects and counts doors and double doors, including location on the plan.
Plumbing and Building Fixtures
Counts toilets, sinks, bathtubs, and other fixtures so trade contractors can skip manual symbol counting.
Right-Click Reassignment
Quickly reassign results to your own Conditions with a right click, so quantities flow into the naming, phasing, and assemblies you already use. Learn more.
Delete Results
Delete unneeded takeoff results without losing the Conditions themselves, keeping your structure clean while you refine results. Learn more.
Edit & Move Conditions
Rename, recolor, move, and group Conditions so results fit your naming and organization standards. Learn more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Electrical estimating software helps contractors measure quantities and build bids directly from digital plans instead of relying on paper drawings and manual calculations. With On-Screen Takeoff, you can quickly count items like outlets, switches, and lights, measure conduit and cable runs, and organize those results for electrical bidding.
On-Screen Takeoff lets you quickly count devices, fixtures, and other electrical items, measure linear conduit and cable runs, and customize symbols so your takeoff matches the way your team reads plans. This speeds up the front end of your estimate and improves accuracy on complex commercial electrical projects.
On-Screen Takeoff captures your electrical measurements and sends them directly into Quick Bid, where you assemble priced estimates, apply your material database, and handle last-minute revisions automatically. No re-entering numbers, no version confusion.
Digital Production Control integrates data from On-Screen Takeoff and Quick Bid so you can compare project data to actual labor hours and job progress. It tracks completion stages and man-hours, highlighting variances so you can adjust staffing or sequencing and use real performance data to improve future electrical estimates.
Takeoff Boost is designed to give you a strong head start by automating much of the counting and measuring, then handing results back to On-Screen Takeoff for your review. Estimators keep full control of the final quantities, and many report that reviewing AI results and making corrections is far faster and less error-prone than doing 100% of the takeoff manually.
Customers report that processing multiple pages at once and reviewing AI results is far faster than doing 100% of the takeoff manually, and that this speed advantage helps them bid more work without sacrificing accuracy.
