Electrical Bid Estimation — AI Calculates Cables, Outlets, and Panels for You

You're an electrical contractor and bid estimation takes too much time. Massoi reads electrical blueprints, calculates wire runs, outlet counts, and panels automatically — you focus on installation work.

Do You Recognize These Electrical Contractor Challenges?

Electrical blueprints contain a massive amount of detail. Counting every outlet and linear foot of wire by hand is frustrating.

Counting Outlets Is Tedious

Electrical blueprints can contain hundreds of outlets, switches, and light fixtures. Counting each one by hand is slow and error-prone.

Wire Runs Are Estimated by Eye

Accurately measuring wire routes from blueprints is difficult. Estimation errors in wire lengths directly impact material costs.

Power and Low-Voltage Separately

An electrical bid requires separate calculations for power, low-voltage, and data systems. Managing the overall scope is laborious.

How Does Electrical Bid Estimation Work?

Three steps from blueprints to a complete electrical bid

Upload Electrical Blueprints

Drag and drop PDF, DWG, or IFC files into Massoi. AI supports floor plans, panel schedules, and wiring drawings.

AI Does Quantity Takeoff Automatically

AI identifies outlets, switches, light fixtures, wire, and panels, and calculates all quantities in seconds.

Review and Send Bid

Review the bill of quantities, add your unit prices, and send a professional bid in PDF format — all from the same tool.

Features Tailored for Electrical Contractors

Massoi understands electrical blueprints — cables, outlets, panels, and light fixtures are identified automatically.

Linear Feet of Cable Automatically

AI measures cable routes from blueprints and calculates linear feet by cable type — Romex NM-B, THHN, MC, Cat6, and others.

Outlets and Switches

Power outlets, switches, push buttons, and data points are identified and counted automatically from blueprints.

Panels and Circuits

Main panels, distribution panels, and sub-panels are extracted from blueprints. Circuit counts and feed cables itemized.

Light Fixtures and Controls

Light fixtures are identified by type — recessed, surface-mounted, and pendant. Lighting controls are also counted.

Low-Voltage and Data

Fire alarms, security systems, antenna points, and data outlets are identified as separate groups.

Cable Trays and Installation Materials

AI calculates cable tray, conduit, and raceway linear feet based on cable routes automatically.

What Does AI Recognize in Electrical Blueprints?

Massoi's AI is trained on electrical blueprints. It recognizes all the most common electrical components automatically.

Receptacles (single, duplex, GFCI, weather-resistant)
Switches, toggle switches, and dimmers
Light fixtures (recessed, surface, pendant, and outdoor)
Cables (Romex NM-B, THHN, MC, Cat6, coaxial)
Main panels, distribution panels, and sub-panels
Fire alarm devices and smoke detectors
Emergency and exit lighting
Data outlets and low-voltage drops
Cable trays, conduits, and raceways
Grounding and bonding
