ELECTRICAL TAKEOFF

A Faster, More Confident Start on Electrical Takeoffs

ConstructConnect Takeoff helps you get a first pass on electrical scope while giving you the visibility and control to review the quantities and assumptions behind your bid. Bring your plans, schedules, details, specifications, and takeoff work together in a browser-based workflow.

Takeoff Assist is an AI chat that helps you work through your project. Ask it to help with electrical scope, review the results, and refine your estimate with your own judgment.

HOW IT WORKS

Electrical takeoff workflow

  1. Upload your plans

    Open your project in the browser. Auto Name and Auto Scale help organize pages and set drawing scale, reducing repetitive setup so you can get to the takeoff sooner.

  2. Get a head start on electrical measurements

    Ask Takeoff Assist to help with the devices, equipment, circuits, wiring, or communications scope shown in your plans. Start with the conditions that matter to your bid, then review results against electrical plans, schedules, panel information, risers, details, notes, and specifications.

  3. Review the work behind the number

    Review the results and make any changes before completing your estimate. Check lighting and power devices, equipment, circuits, and system conditions against the full drawing set. Ask Takeoff Assist to help locate the schedule, riser, or detail behind a condition that needs clarification.

FIRST PASS

Get a head start on electrical quantities

Electrical scope can span devices, circuits, equipment, wiring, and specialty systems across plans, schedules, risers, and details. Auto Takeoff can help organize a first pass across lighting fixtures, power devices, lighting controls, distribution and equipment, branch circuits and homeruns, feeders and service entrance, conduit, wire and accessories, grounding and bonding, fire alarm, and low-voltage and communications—giving you more time to review the assumptions behind your estimate.

Example prompt“Help me review the lighting and power device scope on this plan. Use the schedules and details, and flag items or conditions that need clarification.”

TRACE THE DETAIL

Find the detail behind the quantity

Electrical conditions often depend on information spread across plans, schedules, panel information, risers, details, notes, and specifications. Takeoff Assist can help you look across the project for the information behind a device, circuit, or equipment condition.

Example prompts“Which fixture schedule applies to these devices?”
“Where does the riser show this feeder continuing?”

REVIEW WITH CONFIDENCE

Focus review on the scope that drives the estimate

Check fixture and device types against schedules. Review distribution equipment, branch circuits, homeruns, feeders, conduit, wire, grounding, fire alarm, and low-voltage scope against the full drawing set. Resolve unclear system requirements and scope boundaries before finalizing quantities.

Complete takeoffs from anywhere

Cloud-based browser access lets you open project plans and takeoffs from the office, the job site, or at home. No desktop install means your electrical estimating work is not tied to one workstation.

Put less time into setup and more into estimating

Automated page naming and scale setup help reduce repetitive preparation. Auto Takeoff can help organize an initial pass on electrical scope, while Takeoff Assist gives you another way to work through project information. Review and refine the results before using them in your estimate.

Stay in control

Review takeoff results and make any changes you need. Ask Takeoff Assist for context behind a measurement, then use your expertise to confirm scale, scope, system conditions, and quantities before finalizing your bid.
