Every device, fixture, and homerun counted.The estimate is yours to sign.
Ruh AI runs the electrical takeoff the way an estimator does: it reads the E-sheets and the one-line, counts devices, receptacles, and light fixtures against the legend and fixture schedule, traces every homerun back to its panel, and measures conduit and raceway runs with the conductors each circuit carries by gauge. It reads panels, gear, and feeders off the one-line and the panel schedules, then prices the estimate across nine stages on your own labor units and distributor pricing, filling your workbook. Every quantity is labeled measured, derived, or assumed with a confidence and coverage score, so a missed fixture or homerun cannot hide, and your estimator signs every line.
- ✓Every device, fixture, and homerun ties back to the sheet it was counted on
- ✓Conduit and wire quantities follow the conductors each circuit carries, by gauge
- ✓Coverage scores show what is counted versus what is carried as an allowance

Takeoff runs
Devices, receptacles, and fixtures counted against the legend, homeruns traced back to their panels, conduit and wire measured by size and gauge, with a coverage score per sheet.
Pricing assembles
Nine stages from scope and labor units through gear and feeder pricing to a proposal in your own format, on your distributor pricing.
You sign
Review by confidence score, fix any count, and stamp the bid. The agent learns your corrections.
Where an electrical bid loses money.
The homerun you did not count
A homerun is not one line item. Miss it and you miss the conduit run, the conductors it carries by gauge, the terminations, and the labor to pull it. On lump sum, that is margin gone with no change order to get it back.
Hundreds of symbols, counted by hand
A single floor can carry hundreds of receptacles, switches, and fixtures keyed to a legend and a fixture schedule. Highlighting and tallying by hand is slow, and one missed symbol or double count moves the bid before anyone sees it.
Addenda move the count mid-bid
An addendum swaps a fixture type or relocates devices, and every affected count, conduit run, and homerun has to be reconciled again before the deadline. The recount is where errors and late nights live.
AI electrical takeoff and estimating, explained.
Counting is where electrical bids are won or lost
Electrical takeoff is count-driven before it is measurement-driven. The bid is built from devices, receptacles, switches, and light fixtures counted against the legend and the fixture schedule, then from the raceway that connects them and the conductors each circuit carries by gauge. Ruh runs that as a purpose-built pipeline, not a chatbot: it classifies the E-sheets, reads the legend, counts every symbol on the lighting and power plans, and traces each homerun back to its panel. A homerun is treated as what it actually is, the conduit and the conductors that circuit needs, not a single line, so the conduit and wire quantities follow the count instead of being guessed after the fact. Every quantity comes out labeled measured, derived, or assumed, with a confidence score and a page-coverage number, so you can see how much of the bid is counted versus carried as an allowance before it goes out.
Panels, gear, and feeders off the one-line
The service and distribution do not live on the floor plans, so the pipeline reads them where they actually are: the one-line diagram, the riser, and the panel schedules. Panels, switchboards, transformers, disconnects, and the feeders between them are taken off the one-line and sized against the schedules, and feeder runs are measured with the conductors and conduit they require. Pricing then runs on your book, not a national average: your assemblies, your labor units, and your distributor pricing, across nine stages from scope through gear and feeder pricing to a proposal that fills your own workbook. Copper moves and gear carries lead times, so material and labor stay separated the way an electrical estimator prices them, and gaps are carried as labeled allowances instead of silent zeros. Exports land in Excel and your own workbook, beside the Bluebeam, Procore, and Autodesk workflows your team already runs.
Accuracy, honestly framed
On accuracy, the honest framing is labels and thresholds, not a marketing percentage. Every device, fixture, and homerun is labeled and traceable to the sheet it was counted on, low-confidence items are flagged for a person, and early runs are compared side by side against bids your team already trusts. Nobody credible promises day-one perfection on a dense set of E-sheets. What compounds is the correction loop: every count your estimators fix teaches the system your standards, your assemblies, and your labor units, and your estimator signs every line either way. One live client measured bid turnaround roughly 50 percent faster, and the easiest way to judge any of this is the way electrical estimators judge everything, on your own set.
