PlanSwift Electrical Estimating Services
PlanSwift is one of the most popular digital takeoff tools for electrical contractors, known for its intuitive drag-and-drop assemblies and fast point-and-click measurements. If your firm uses PlanSwift, you need estimators who can work in the same platform.
Apex Electric Estimating Inc provides PlanSwift electrical estimating services performed by estimators who are experts in PlanSwift. We deliver fast, accurate takeoffs using PlanSwift assemblies and measurement tools.

Why PlanSwift Expertise Matters
PlanSwift offers specific advantages for electrical takeoffs:
- Drag-and-drop assemblies: Pre-built electrical assemblies (device + box + conduit + wire) that speed takeoff and ensure consistency
- Point-and-click measurement: Fast linear measurement of conduit runs and wire lengths
- Assembly building: Custom assemblies that match your estimating standards and labor units
- Excel export: Direct export to Excel for pricing and reporting
- Template reuse: Project templates that standardize takeoffs across similar project types
Our estimators leverage these tools to deliver takeoffs that align with your PlanSwift workflow.
Our PlanSwift Takeoff Approach
Custom Assembly Configuration
We configure PlanSwift assemblies for common electrical installations: devices with box and rough-in, fixtures with whip and mount, panels with feeders and grounding. These assemblies ensure consistent labor and material factoring.
Point-and-Click Linear Measurement
We use PlanSwift measurement tools to quantify conduit runs, wire lengths, and cable tray systems. Every measurement is calibrated to the drawing scale.
Assembly-Based Counting
We use drag-and-drop assemblies for repeating scope items. This speeds takeoff while ensuring consistent material and labor factoring across the project.
Excel Export and Reporting
We export takeoff quantities in Excel formats compatible with your estimating software. Your team can plug our numbers directly into your bid.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can you work with our existing PlanSwift assemblies? A: Yes. Provide your custom assemblies with your initial plans and we use them for your project. This ensures consistency with your labor units and pricing.
Q: Do you deliver the PlanSwift project file? A: We deliver Excel exports and detailed takeoffs compatible with PlanSwift. We can also deliver PlanSwift-compatible import files for easy data transfer.
Q: Can you build custom assemblies for our estimating standards? A: Yes. We can build custom PlanSwift assemblies that match your estimating standards. Provide your labor factors and material standards and we configure the assemblies.
Q: How long does a PlanSwift takeoff take? A: Standard turnaround is 24-48 hours for most projects. Rush 24-hour service is available for urgent bid deadlines.
