Frequently asked questions
What is the best electrical estimating software for small contractors?
Small electrical contractors need software that combines takeoff and pricing without a long learning curve. Bluecost measures PDF plans with AI, applies unit prices for wire, conduit, panels and devices, and exports a professional proposal, with plans starting at $49/month.
Is electrical pricing software different from estimating software?
Pricing software focuses on material and labor costs, while estimating software also covers takeoff (quantities). Bluecost does both: it extracts quantities from your drawings and prices them with your own catalog and labor rates.
Can Bluecost do electrical takeoff from PDF drawings?
Yes. Upload PDF or image plans and the AI counts outlets, switches and fixtures and measures wiring and conduit runs. You can review and adjust every quantity before pricing.
Does it include labor rates for electricians?
Yes. You can apply electrician productivity rates by installation type and adjust crew costs, overhead and profit margin per project.
