Problem with Manual Electrical Estimating:

Low Bid Accuracy = Lost Profit

A small error in wire length or breaker count can cascade into major cost fluctuations, either underbidding (lost profit) or overbidding (lost contracts).

Wrong Load Calculations, Wire length, Conduits

Time-Consuming Counting of Fixtures and Panels

Difficulty Handling Constant Revisions

Inconsistent, Fluctuating, Inaccurate Costs

Residential estimating AI system focuses on calculating material, labor, and equipment costs for small- to mid-scale home projects such as single-family houses, duplexes, townhomes, and remodels. BuildTake AI analyzes your digital blueprints, identifies all key elements and instantly quantifies them for fast takeoffs.

Commercial Estimating Software

Commercial estimating software helps calculate material, labor, and equipment costs for large-scale projects such as office complexes, hospitals, schools, and retail centers. BuildTake AI reads your digital blueprints, detects all relevant components, ducts, fixtures, conduits, and piping, and instantly quantifies them.

Suppliers Distributors

Industrial Takeoffs Software

BuildTake AI handles complex plant schematics by detecting mechanical piping, duct systems, and process equipment with AI precision. It transforms messy engineering drawings into organized, verified takeoff data, helping teams forecast costs accurately and reduce rework.

High Voltage Takeoffs Software

High voltage estimating solution covers systems above 1,000 volts, like substations, power distribution networks, and transmission lines. BuildTake AI automatically recognizes and measures high-voltage cables, transformers, panels, and switchgear from plans. It ensures precise counts while improving reliability across high-risk, high-value projects.

Architects

Medium Voltage Takeoffs Software

Medium voltage systems (between 1 kV and 35 kV) are used in commercial campuses, factories, and distribution networks. With BuildTake AI, contractors can automatically detect and measure all medium-voltage elements, including feeders, conductors, and termination points.

Quantity Surveyors

Low Voltage Takeoffs Software

Low-voltage estimating software covers systems under 1,000 volts, such as lighting, alarms, communication, and control systems. These are often detailed and time-consuming to count manually. BuildTake AI identifies every light fixture, control point, cable run, and outlet directly from your digital plans. It automates quantity extraction and cost breakdown.

I’ve tried every electrical takeoff tool out there, this one actually auto-detects circuits, conduit runs, and fixture quantities from the drawing, and provides higher accuracy on large, complex jobs. I upload a plan and the AI does the heavy lifting. Accurate every time, so no more late-night rechecks.

Marcus Lee

Electrical Project Manager

trust-pilot

We’ve got crews on three sites and syncing drawings used to be a mess. The cloud takeoff keeps everyone working from the same, up-to-date quantities, plus the huge plus point is addendum variance reporting that AI automatically detects changes and reruns takeoff. Ican pull the file on-site and make quick adjustments.
