Electrical estimating & takeoff

From panel schedules to fixture counts - the electrical sheet, parsed.

Electrical takeoff is symbol counting at industrial scale. Kamai counts every outlet, switch, fixture, and panel on the sheet - and resolves the legend so each symbol gets typed and tagged.

Electrical sheets are dense. A single floor plan can carry 800+ devices, each keyed to a schedule on a different sheet. Estimators spend most of their day cross-walking between the floor plan and the panel schedule - a mechanical task that's perfect for Kamai.

Kamai walks the vector drawing layer-by-layer, reads the legend, and types each symbol it finds. The output is a structured electrical bill of materials keyed to room, panel, circuit, and sheet of origin.

What Kamai parses

Inputs Kamai reads on electrical work.

Floor plans (E-series)
Layer-by-layer parsing of E-101 through E-9XX.
Panel schedules
Circuit numbers, load, type, breaker size - typed and joined back to the plan.
Single-line diagrams
Bus, panel, and feeder topology reconstructed as a typed graph.
Conduit & raceway
Run lengths measured from vector polylines, not pixel approximations.
Symbols typed automatically

Every device, every fixture, every member - keyed to the legend.

Kamai reads the legend on the electrical sheet and types each symbol it counts.

Output schema

What lands in your pipeline.

Every electrical detection emits a typed record. Here's the shape.

type ElectricalDetection = {
  device_id: string;
  type: enum(outlet | switch | fixture | panel | ...);
  room_id: string;
  circuit: string?;
  voltage: number?;
  sheet: string;
};
Other trades

Other trades.

  • The same models, applied per trade.
  • Every detection carries provenance back to the sheet.
  • Drop-in via API, app, or direct integration.
