About Electrical Takeoff Software
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.

Electrical Bid Manager
What makes Electrical Bid Manager different? The custom takeoff modules, low learning curve, and built-in electrical database all combine elegantly with our experienced support team based in San Diego, California.
Use the custom takeoff modules to build on-the-fly custom assemblies or use the pre-built assemblies to save time. The custom takeoff modules are all built to focus on specific takeoffs. For example: For wire/conduit takeoff, there are highly customized takeoff modules for Site, Feeders, Motor Hookups, Branch Circuits, and Cable. These takeoff modules are joined by dozens of others that cover Distribution, Fixtures & Devices, and other takeoff requirements.
Electrical Bid Manager is a powerful electrical estimating tool geared towards electrical contractors just starting out and ramps up to power the estimating departments at $100+ million dollars/year revenue companies.
