AI electrical takeoff & estimating software
The electrical scope is scattered across the device plan, the panel schedule, and the lighting layout. JobReadyIQ reads the E-sheets and returns devices, circuits, and fixtures so you can bid the rough and trim without counting every symbol.
Run a electrical plan free →What JobReadyIQ reads for electricians:
- →Device counts — receptacles, switches, data/low-voltage — by room
- →Circuit and home-run estimates from the panel schedule
- →Panel, service, and feeder sizing where specified
- →Lighting fixtures and recessed cans from the lighting plan
- →Special systems (EV, generator, smoke/CO) flagged where shown
…bid-ready in about 60–90 seconds, with a code-cited inspection checklist and every quantity tied back to the sheet it came from. You review and own the final number.
How a electrical takeoff actually runs
- 01
Drop in the set
Upload the plans — the system finds the E-sheets, panel schedule, and lighting plan itself. The electrical scope is scattered across them, and the read pulls all three together.
- 02
Devices counted by room
Receptacles, switches, and data drops come back counted by room off the device plan, and lighting fixtures and recessed cans off the lighting layout — the symbol-counting that eats an afternoon, done in the first pass.
- 03
Circuits and service, with honest flags
Circuits and home-runs are estimated against the panel schedule, with panel, service, and feeder sizing pulled where the set specifies it. Wire footage depends on routing the drawings don't fully show — long or ambiguous runs are flagged to confirm rather than guessed. Special systems (EV, generator, smoke/CO) are surfaced where shown.
- 04
Rough and trim, priced your way
Your device, fixture, and labor rates price the rough and trim separately, and every line ties back to its E-sheet. You review and own the final number.
Electrical estimating — straight answers.
Does it count devices and circuits?+
Yes — it counts devices by room off the device plan and estimates circuits/home-runs against the panel schedule, with the panel and service pulled where specified.
Does it estimate wire runs?+
It estimates home-run and branch footage from the layout. Long or ambiguous runs are flagged to confirm rather than guessed, since routing drives the wire cost.
