How zzTakeoff works for Electrical
A simple three-step workflow to move from plans to estimate-ready quantities.
Upload your plans
Measure quantities
Price it & bid it
Faster electrical takeoffs. Accurate bids.
zzTakeoff gives electrical estimators an organized way to move from plan review to takeoff without relying on scattered manual processes.
- Count devices and fixtures right off the plans
- Auto-calculate conduit, wire, and fittings from your measurements
- Price out material, labor, and equipment in one place
Stay on Top of Revisions
When drawings shift, your team needs a faster way to review what changed. zzTakeoff makes it easy to compare affected sheets and verify electrical quantities so you do not have to start from scratch.
- Overlay old and new drawings to spot every change instantly
- See exactly where devices moved or circuits changed
- Update your quantities in minutes instead of starting over
Structure Your Estimate by Scope of Work
Organize your electrical takeoffs the way you bid the work, so quantities roll up into a breakdown that is easy to review, price, and hand off.
- Phase your takeoff by floor, area, or panel
- Categorize by system, circuit, or feeder
- Itemize your bid breakdown to match how the GC wants to see it

Why Electrical contractors choose zzTakeoff
Use a simpler digital workflow to capture quantities, review scope, and keep your estimating process consistent.
Wire quantities done for you
Measure a run once and zzTakeoff totals the conduit footage and the length of every conductor you assign to it. You choose the sizes, zzTakeoff does the counting.
One count, multiple quantities
A single device count can drive boxes, plates, connectors, wire, and labor via assemblies. Count once, quantify everything.
AI-powered counting
The Auto Count tool combines AI, vector data, and OCR to identify and count fixtures and devices throughout the plans, so full-set counts take minutes.
Search the plans, don't hunt
Instantly find every callout like "GFCI" or "2-inch EMT" across a full drawing set instead of scanning sheet by sheet.
Bid more jobs in less time
AI auto-naming, sheet numbering, and auto-scaling cut plan setup from hours to minutes, so you get more bids out the door and a better hit rate.
Collaborate on big jobs
Estimators, PMs, and Precon Managers can work on the same project simultaneously. Split up a large plan set by floor or system and experience the power of teamwork.
Handle revisions without redoing work
Overlay and compare when circuits are rerouted or fixtures move, then adjust only the affected areas instead of starting over.
Cloud and mobile access from anywhere
Check quantities from the jobsite, a pre-bid walk, or the office on your phone, tablet, Mac, or PC. No install, no VPN, no waiting to get back to your desk.
Easy switch from PlanSwift, Bluebeam & OST
Import your existing PlanSwift and Bluebeam jobs, and bring your PlanSwift and OST templates with you, so you can hit the ground running instead of rebuilding your library from scratch.

Electrical estimating software FAQs
You can count devices, fixtures, panels, and equipment, measure conduit and wire runs, and take off virtually any other electrical item. Organize your takeoffs by system, floor, or area to generate material, labor, and equipment quantities that are easier to review and estimate.
Yes. When revised electrical plans are issued, the Overlay feature helps you quickly identify exactly what changed. That lets you focus your time on updating the affected areas instead of reviewing the entire project again.
Yes. One device count can drive multiple material quantities, including boxes, plates, connectors, wire, and other related products. zzTakeoff can automatically calculate the quantities needed for each device or fixture you count.
Yes. A single conduit run can generate multiple estimating quantities. Measure the run once, then let zzTakeoff calculate conduit, wire, fittings, supports, labor, and any other related quantities needed for your estimate.
Yes. zzTakeoff can extract the fixture schedule directly from the plans and automatically create takeoffs for each fixture type, so you can start counting without manually setting them up. You can also use the AI-powered Auto Count tool, which combines AI, vector data, and OCR to quickly identify and count light fixtures and other objects throughout the plans.
Yes. Organize conduit runs by circuit, feeder, service, conduit size, or any other grouping that matches your estimating workflow. Each run can use its own products and estimating assumptions, making it easy to calculate conduit, wire, fittings, labor, and other related quantities accurately.
Yes. Whether you're estimating power, low-voltage, fire alarm, communications, security, or AV systems, zzTakeoff gives you the flexibility to estimate every system within the same project.
Organize your takeoffs by floor, area, panel, or any other grouping that fits your workflow. When floors repeat, measure a typical floor once and apply a multiplier to automatically calculate the remaining floors.
Yes. Whether you're estimating a residential service upgrade, a custom home, a multifamily development, or a large commercial building, zzTakeoff provides the flexibility to estimate projects of any size with adaptable workflows.
The best way to evaluate zzTakeoff is with a real project. Start your free 14-day trial, upload the plans you're estimating today, and see how quickly you can build an accurate electrical estimate.
