Free Tool · Electrical Takeoff
Counting devices on E-sheets for three days? There's a better answer than another template.
Every electrical estimator has lived it: bluebeam over the E-2s, tick, tick, tick, receptacle, receptacle, quad, GFCI, then over to the fixture schedule, then back to the panel schedule to size the homers. A spreadsheet template gives you rows to type into. Boon reads the drawings, counts the devices, ties them to the fixture and panel schedules, and hands you a bid-ready electrical takeoff.

What a real electrical takeoff has to capture
Devices & fixtures
Receptacles by type (duplex, quad, GFCI, isolated ground, USB), switches, occupancy sensors, data drops, and every fixture type keyed off the schedule with the right lamp and voltage.
Feeders, panels & gear
Panel schedules, service size, feeders and their conduit runs, MDPs, transformers, disconnects, and the one-line reconciled against the plans so nothing is orphaned.
Branch circuits & homers
Home run counts, EMT vs MC vs rigid by area, wire size by circuit, box counts, and the pull boxes and J-boxes the specs quietly require above accessible ceilings.
What a good electrical estimator watches for
- Fixture schedule vs plan. The schedule lists 14 types; the plan only uses 11. Or the plan shows a Type F where the schedule doesn't have one. Either way, somebody's about to argue it during buyout.
- CSI Division 26 sprawl. Basic materials at 26 05, conductors at 26 05 19, raceways at 26 05 33, lighting at 26 51 00, low-voltage bleeding into Division 27. A takeoff that doesn't hit those sections gets picked apart.
- Spec-driven cost. "Provide MC cable in accessible ceilings, EMT in walls and exposed areas" changes the cost per branch by a real number. Templates don't enforce that read. Estimators who miss it lose money.
- Site & utility scope. Site lighting, transformer pads, primary conduit stub-outs, utility company allowances — the boundary between the electrical sub and the sitework contractor is where scope holes live.
