Electrical Takeoff Software:

About

Electrical Takeoff Software is a browser-based electrical drawing takeoff and estimating service for electrical contractors and estimators. Users upload vector or scanned PDF plan sets, including power, lighting and systems plans, one-lines, schedules and notes. The service identifies and marks electrical devices by sheet, traces branch circuits and homeruns along the routes shown, and measures wire and conduit lengths. It converts counts and measurements into material and labor estimates organized by CSI section using customer rates and job-cost settings. Counts are checked against panel and fixture schedules when available. The workflow flags drawing ambiguities and open scope questions with potential bid impacts, and provides a bid recap, count and length exports, RFI letters and an evidence sheet. Users review results in a browser and export data as XLSX, CSV or PDF for existing estimating workflows.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • As an old school QS/Estimator, who was brought up on using paper drawings and take-off sheets, this has been mind blowing. I have been using a free on line take-off system, that has no back up and will eventually be taken down, together with my own take -off and estimating Excel spreadsheets. I love the ability to screen shot my mark ups and add them to my take-offs for future reference. I have seen others using Bluebeam and I would consider Purple Hammer to be above and beyond this system. The ability to compare drawing revisions is a great feature. We all know the architects who like to push out drawing revisions and not actually cloud the revisions.

Cons

  • The only con at the moment is my own limits. I'm looking forward to Ari Isaacs showing me how to incorporate my own take-off sheets. Looking forward to being able to exploit it's features
