The Landscape

The challenges facing today’s electrical contractors.

Every bid is bigger, tighter and faster than the last — while the pool of people qualified to price it keeps shrinking.

01

Increasing complexity

Bigger projects, tighter codes, more moving parts in every bid.

02

Labor shortages

Fewer skilled estimators available to keep pace with demand.

03

Pressure to deliver

Faster turnarounds and thinner margins raise the stakes on every submission.

The Old Way vs Breeze

Why traditional estimating falls short.

The tools most contractors still rely on were never built for the volume, speed or complexity of modern electrical work.

The old way

Today
  • ✕
    Manual processes Hours lost to spreadsheets and repetitive line-by-line takeoffs.
  • ✕
    Disconnected information Drawings, pricing, and history live in separate systems.
  • ✕
    Knowledge silos Your best estimator’s judgment never leaves their head.

The Breeze way

Built to standardize
  • ✓
    Standardize estimating across every team One method, one cost database, one consistent output — regardless of who bids the job.
  • ✓
    Increase bidding capacity without adding headcount Reduce manual, repetitive takeoff work so your existing team covers more ground.
  • ✓
    Improve consistency from bid to bid Enable scalable, repeatable growth on a foundation that does not depend on one person.
The Workflow

Six steps from electrical drawing to approved quote.

A better estimating approach: drawings go in, a branded, client-ready quote comes out — and every number in between stays connected.

1

Electrical Drawing

Upload PDF or CAD drawing sets, single sheet or full package.

2

AI Takeoff & Analysis

Breeze recognises symbols across the set and counts materials automatically.

3

Quantity Extraction

Editable quantities flow straight into a structured, reviewable list.

4

Estimate

Pricing, labor and markup rules apply automatically as quantities land.

5

Quote

A polished, branded proposal generated straight from the estimate.

6

Approved & Delivered

The client reviews and approves online — no printing, no reformatting.

Delivered Quote
Approved
Panels $18,400
Conduit $9,120
Devices, fixtures & labor $115,380
Total $142,900

Illustrative figures — your own cost database, labor rates and markup rules drive every number.

Feature

AI powered estimating.

Four capabilities carry the workload that used to sit with a scale ruler, a spreadsheet and a very long afternoon.

AI Takeoffs

Symbol recognition runs across the whole drawing set, not one sheet at a time.

Quantity Extraction

Counts and measurements land as editable line items you stay in control of.

Estimate Generation

Live pricing and consistent markup rules build the estimate as quantities flow in.

Bid Turnaround

Days of preparation compress into hours, so you answer more invitations to bid.

Delivery

Connected project delivery.

The estimate does not stop at the bid. It becomes the budget, the schedule and the source of truth for the crew in the field.

Estimating

Where the number is built — AI takeoff, live pricing and consistent markup rules.

Project Management

Schedules, budgets and change orders tracked from origin to close-out.

Field Operations

Daily progress, photo documentation and on-site approvals tied to the estimate.

Mobile Workforce

Crews stay connected on any device, on any site, online or off.

Insight

Business intelligence, built in.

Because estimating, project management and the field all run on the same data, reporting is not a separate exercise. Win rates, margins and crew productivity are available the moment the work happens — not three weeks after the month closes.
