From E-Sheet to estimate in minutes
Bobyard reads your E-series drawings, counts every device, routes every conduit, and rolls it all into an estimate.
Cut your takeoff in half
Bobyard can read any drawing
Upload E-series drawings, panel schedules, riser diagrams, symbol legends, and spec books, and Bobyard gets to work.
AI auto-extracts the takeoff in minutes.
Devices, fixtures, panels, conduit runs, and equipment are detected and grouped by system. Estimators can verify each detection before locking it in.
Roll everything into a pre-built estimate.
All quantities flow directly into an estimate table with material and labor costs calculated across counts, lengths, equipment, and more.

Upload E-series drawings, panel schedules, riser diagrams, symbol legends, and spec books, and Bobyard gets to work.
Double your bids
Estimators cut takeoff time by 50–90%, so they can chase and win the work they used to leave on the table.
Profit margins, not error margins
Custom AI models trained on electrical drawings detect with high accuracy, so you don't have to bake in miscount error margins.
Bigger business, same team
Bobyard doesn't replace estimators, it supercharges them. Free from counting they can focus on winning over clients and bids.

Trained on millions of drawings. Ready for yours.
Conduit & wire auto-routing
Detect hatch patterns and calculate material areas across the drawing.
Riser & equipment counting
Count transformers, switchboards, generators, and more off the riser and tie them to feeder routing.
Panel schedule intelligence
Pull frame size, circuit count, wire size, breaker size from the schedule and tie it back to every device on the plan.

FAQ
Bobyard is an AI-powered takeoff and estimating platform built for the trades. For electrical contractors, Bobyard reads E-series drawings, auto-counts devices and equipment, calculates conduit and wire lengths, and rolls every quantity into a pre-built estimate.
Bobyard's AI is trained on millions of construction drawings, including the symbols, panel schedules, and risers specific to electrical plans. Upload your E-sheets and the AI auto-detects receptacles, switches, panels, fixtures, and equipment, classifies them by system, and surfaces a confidence score on every detection so your estimators know exactly where to focus their review.
Legacy tools were built before modern AI, so counting, routing, and assemblies are still largely manual or split across multiple platforms. Bobyard is purpose-built for AI takeoff, trained on the electrical trade specifically, rather than being a tacked-on or generic model.
Yes. Bobyard auto-routes home runs based on panel location, building geometry, and circuit logic, then calculates linear feet of wire per circuit. Multi-floor takeoffs with vertical risers and drops are handled in the same pass.
Electrical contractors and estimators working on commercial and new construction projects, from small shops sending more bids per week to large estimating teams scaling their pipeline without scaling headcount.
Most teams are running live takeoffs within their first onboarding session. Every customer gets a dedicated CSM and hands-on training on real projects, and the platform is designed to be intuitive enough that your team won't need extensive training to keep using it.
