The electrical contracting industry is facing a chronic labor shortage and soaring material costs simultaneously, leading to serious problems such as increased costs, project delays, and declining profit margins. In particular, the cost estimation and bidding process necessary to secure contracts remains largely dependent on individual expertise. The “take-off” process, which involves calculating the length of a vast number of symbols (such as outlets and switches) and wiring/piping from design documents, is often done manually, making it prone to counting and transcription errors, and creating a problem of reliance on the experience of skilled individuals. Furthermore, due to the recent surge in material costs and labor shortages, responding quickly and accurately to a large number of bidding requests with limited personnel has become an urgent business necessity.
