Electrical quantity takeoff

No setup. No symbol matching. No manual review steps.
Some takeoff tools make you build a symbol catalog before they'll count anything. Others need you to manually trace and click through every item yourself. CircuitTakeoff doesn't. Upload the PDF, and get a real, finished takeoff back — automatically, every time.
You already know the drill
A bid comes in. Someone spends 10-40 hours with a highlighter counting outlets, measuring conduit runs, and cross-checking panel schedules — on a job you might not even win. Every hour spent on takeoffs is an hour not spent pricing, sourcing, or bidding the next job.
The old way vs. CircuitTakeoff
Manually tracing every outlet, switch, and conduit run with a mouse, sheet by sheet.
Upload the PDF. The AI reads the plan and hands you a finished quantity list — no clicking, no tracing.
10-40 hours per bid spent on takeoffs — often on jobs you don't even win.
Minutes, not hours. Spend the time you save pricing more bids instead.
No way to know which numbers on a manual takeoff are solid and which were rushed.
Every estimate is flagged high or low confidence, so you know exactly what to double-check before you bid.
Enterprise AI takeoff tools cost $15,000-25,000/year and require a sales call just to get a quote.
Self-serve, transparent pricing, live in minutes. $150-300/month, no sales call required.
Generic multi-trade software that's built for everything and great at nothing in particular.
Built specifically for electrical — conduit, wire, panels, devices, fixtures, low voltage. Nothing else to learn.
How it works
Three steps from plan set to spreadsheet.
1. Upload plan sheets
Drop in your electrical PDF pages — single sheet or a full plan set. Multi-file upload supported.
2. AI extracts quantities
Symbols, tags, and conduit runs are read off the sheets and grouped into estimator-ready categories.
3. Review and export
Edit any line inline, add your own items, then push it out as CSV or a formatted Excel workbook.
We flag what we're not sure about
Symbol counts — outlets, switches, fixtures, panels — come back high-confidence, because AI reads discrete shapes reliably. Measured quantities like conduit and wire footage get flagged for your review, because no software should guess at a number that ends up on your bid without you checking it first.
Estimated — verify against scaled plan.

Built for the shop, not the enterprise
Most AI takeoff tools are priced and sold for large firms — enterprise contracts, sales calls, five-figure annual licenses. CircuitTakeoff is self-serve, electrical-only, and priced for a shop that wants to sign up today and run a takeoff in the next ten minutes.
