Line item extraction accuracy

The old way vs. Plotform

Electrical packages reward speed — slow bidders don’t bid.

The old way

  • Counting devices sheet by sheet with a highlighter
  • Reconciling plans against schedules and finding numbers don’t match
  • Fire alarm specs buried in three different places
  • Re-doing the conduit estimate when the addendum drops
  • Missing accessory items that hide in the narrative

With Plotform

  • Upload the package — devices, fixtures, conduit, wire all extracted
  • Plans-vs-schedule mismatches surface side-by-side
  • Fire alarm narrative parsed into discrete line items
  • Re-upload the addenda — the table updates
  • Accessory items pulled out of the spec book automatically

What you get

Designed for the way electrical packages are organized.

Devices, fixtures, panels

Every device, fixture, and panel extracted from plans and schedules — counted by sheet so you can spot reconciliation issues.

Conduit, wire, raceway

Conduit runs and wire pulls extracted with size, type, and length — ready to price.

Fire alarm + low voltage

Fire alarm devices and low-voltage systems pulled from both plans and the narrative spec.

Electrical contractors bidding faster

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Does it pull devices from one-lines and schedules?

Yes. Panelboards, transformers, and feeders from one-lines plus device counts and fixture types from plans and schedules — all merged into one table by sheet.

Does it handle fire alarm narratives?

Yes. Fire alarm device counts and ratings are pulled from both plans and the narrative section of the spec book, so nothing is missed between the two.

Can it reconcile plans against schedules?

Yes — discrepancies between counts on plans and totals in schedules surface side-by-side so you can pick the correct number before bidding.

How accurate is the extraction?

Every line has a confidence indicator and a source-page reference, so verification is a click.

How long does processing take?

5–20 minutes depending on package size. A 100-page electrical package typically finishes in around 20 minutes.
