AI Takeoffs for Electrical
We use AI to help electricians speed up the time it takes to submit a competitive bid to a job. We do this by scanning complex CAD drawings and 10X-ing the time it takes to estimate a job. This involves using vision models to read and count complex symbols in large PDFs, which typically take hours (sometimes days) to do precisely. Every missed symbol can cost thousands, and our AI can count to 99% accuracy.
Bidflow provides AI-powered takeoff tooling that counts electrical components from drawings, delivering fast, high-accuracy counts for power devices, lighting fixtures, and lighting controls. It positions itself as a focused counting AI that speeds up bidding and reduces manual counting time.
Bidflow reads drawings and counts electrical devices, including power devices, lighting fixtures, and lighting controls. It offers a workflow to navigate the drawing set, audit counts, fix AI mistakes, and export clean counts to a spreadsheet. It includes built-in PDF tools for page navigation, panning, zooming, and an audit feature to correct missed items. Pricing is usage-based at $0.03 per device or fixture, with no subscriptions, and the counts are exported in a structured format (takeoff_export.csv).
Who it’s for: Electrical contractors, lighting distributors, and professionals involved in high-volume takeoffs and bidding
