Electrical takeoff software

An electrical takeoff is counts first: devices, fixtures, panels and gear. The errors come from the schedules and the plans not matching. That is the part Takeoff Tool is built to catch.

Electrical: common questions

Can I use Takeoff Tool for electrical takeoffs today?
Not yet. Electrical is a founding trade. We build each trade with working estimators, so the tool learns how the trade really bids. Founding contractors use it free for three months while we build it with them.
What do you need from a founding electrical contractor?
An hour or two of your estimator's time, screen shared, while they do a real takeoff. Plus a set of past bid packets with the finished takeoffs. We use them to check the tool against work you already trust.
What does it cost after the founding period?
The standard price is $2,500 per seat per month. It is a flat fee. There is no charge per takeoff.
