Device and fixture counts
Count receptacles, switches, lighting, emergency fixtures, and other visible plan symbols as named takeoffs tied to the governing sheet.
Electrical takeoff · Windows
Count devices. Trace runs.
Keep the pricing logic.
Measure the electrical plan, price devices and routes with reusable material and labor assemblies, communicate a clear bid package, and preserve what works for the next project.

Electrical quantities you can explain
Counts, traced lengths, waste, and labor stay distinct.
An electrical estimate is easier to check, explain, and reuse when counted symbols, measured routes, material waste, labor, and scope qualifications do not collapse into one unexplained allowance.
Raceway and feeder routes
Trace visible paths from a calibrated plan, keep branch and feeder scope separate, and review the known scale with the free blueprint scale calculator.
Reusable assemblies and clear bids
Attach separate material and labor components, apply waste only where intended, communicate the result through bids and exports, and retain reviewed assemblies for reuse.
- Calibrate the governing electrical plan from a reliable known dimension.
- Count each symbol family and trace each visible route as a named quantity.
- Review voltage, load, routing, product selections, waste, unit costs, and exclusions.
- Send the reviewed scope through the bid and reports, then save the electrical assemblies for reuse.

Open the two-sheet example plan
The example uses known dimensions, counted symbols, and sample prices. It is not an electrical design, load calculation, code review, permit opinion, or substitute for qualified field review.
Plan or measured-photo background
Use a known measurement for scale. Keep hidden conditions out of the claim.
A dimensioned PDF electrical plan is usually the cleanest source for device counts and route measurements. A jobsite photograph can document visible, accessible runs when it contains a reliable reference and the perspective is suitable, but it cannot reveal concealed wiring, loading, or code conditions.
Calibrate only from a dimension you trust, retain the source, and verify routing, voltage, loads, existing service, product selections, clearances, and concealed conditions before ordering or contracting.
Photo-assisted quantities are estimates. Perspective, lens distortion, occlusion, and stale conditions can affect results. Takeoff is not an electrical-design, engineering, code-compliance, inspection, or permit tool and does not replace field verification by qualified people.
