The highlighter takeoff, without the highlighter.
Same method you already trust: go sheet by sheet, mark every device, count them up. SparkQuote does the marking. You do the checking.
Sound familiar?
Still counting receptacles for Monday’s bid
The takeoff is the part nobody pays you for, and it eats the weekend.
Addendum #3 lands a day before the bid is due
Now you’re hunting for what changed across every sheet.
Rounding up to make the deadline
Pad it and you lose the job. Miss something and you eat it on the job.
How it works
Five steps, plan set to proposal. You stay in charge of every one.
| Step | What you do | What SparkQuote does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Upload the PDF plan set | Finds the electrical sheets and reads the scale. |
| 2 | Wait a few minutes | Counts receptacles, switches, fixtures by type tag, panels and data, using the legend on your drawings. |
| 3 | Check the counts on the plan | Highlights every device on the sheet and flags anything it is unsure of. |
| 4 | Pick your labor units and prices | Applies them, with adjustments for ceiling height, remodel and occupied space. |
| 5 | Send the proposal | Adds overhead and margin and builds a proposal with your logo, inclusions and exclusions. |
It counts.
You sign.
Your name goes on the bid, so nothing goes out without your say. When the software isn’t sure what a symbol is, it asks you instead of guessing.
