The problem

Manual takeoffs are
killing your growth

Every bid you can't get to is revenue on the table. Every counting error erodes your margin.

Takeoffs consume 50%+ of your bid cycle

Counting thousands of devices from drawings by hand — downlights, GPOs, switches, junction boxes — sheet by sheet.

15–20 hrs/week lost to counting

Can't find or afford another estimator

Experienced electrical estimators earn $95K–$130K+. The hiring pool is tiny and ramp time is 3–6 months minimum.

$120K–$150K true cost per hire

One missed device, thousands in margin gone

Underbidding from counting errors is invisible until the job's underway. One rushed takeoff and you eat the difference.

1 error can cost $5K–$30K+

Legacy software takes months to learn

ConEst, Accubid, McCormick — massive database setup, weeks of training, steep learning curves before you see a single result.

"A senior estimator doing a full commercial takeoff manually — that's a whole day, sometimes two. If this thing does it in two minutes and gets it right, that's not a tool. That's a competitive advantage."

Questions

Frequently asked

What types of electrical plans does TakeoffAI support?
Any PDF electrical drawing — residential, commercial, and industrial. Standard symbols including downlights, GPOs, switches, data points, smoke detectors, distribution boards, and more. Multi-sheet sets are fully supported.
How accurate is the AI counting?
95%+ accuracy on standard symbols out of the box, improving over time as you review and confirm counts. Quarterly accuracy audits benchmark AI performance against real project as-builts.
How does this compare to ConEst, Accubid, or STACK?
Legacy tools require weeks of database setup. TakeoffAI gets you to a completed takeoff on your first session — in under 60 minutes. AI does the counting; your estimator focuses on review and winning work.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. 30-day unconditional money-back guarantee. After 30 days, the 90-day outcome guarantee still applies — if you haven't doubled your bid output, full refund plus a competitor's licence on us.
What does the onboarding sprint include?
A dedicated 60-minute 1-on-1 session using your actual plans. Upload a real drawing set, run the AI takeoff, review and adjust counts, export a finished BOQ you can use immediately.
Is my plan data secure?
All plans are encrypted in transit and at rest. We never share your drawings or data with third parties. Your project information stays yours — always.

Stop counting.
