PlanWise

An intelligent electrical takeoff platform that turns complex plans into reviewable symbol counts, material estimates and quoting inputs.

Experience context: This reference reflects prior professional delivery experience. The original project and delivery credit remains with the source team.

01The challenge

A valuable workflow constrained by complexity.

Electrical drawings vary across builders and architects. Legends, annotations, stamps and rotated symbols make manual counting slow, inconsistent and difficult to scale.

02The solution pattern

Intelligence connected to a usable product.

A web-based workflow combines OCR, drawing-specific symbol detection and an AI-assisted fallback layer. Detected items are overlaid on the source plan so electricians can validate and edit edge cases before reporting.

03The outcome

Designed around a clearer business result.

The product pattern moves electrical takeoff from repetitive manual interpretation toward reviewable estimating inputs produced within minutes—with human control preserved.

Inside the solution

The product capabilities that make the workflow useful.

01

OCR and legend extraction

Read legend definitions and plan annotations as the foundation for drawing-aware interpretation.

02

Context-aware detection

Use plan-specific legends, computer vision and AI fallback reasoning for noisy or ambiguous drawings.

03

Editable takeoffs

Overlay detections on the plan, support manual corrections and generate structured PDF or CSV reports.

04

SaaS operations

Support configurable subscriptions, usage controls, cloud processing and monitored infrastructure.
