Electrical Drawing to Estimate in One Connected Workflow
Stop Rebuilding the Same Information at Every Step
Traditional estimating requires estimators to move between drawings, takeoff tools, spreadsheets, pricing databases and estimating software.
Xkey brings the workflow together. AiE helps accelerate the takeoff, while Xkey turns quantities into assemblies, labor and material costs—and gives the estimator control over the final estimate.
AI-Assisted Electrical Takeoffs
Let AiE Handle the Repetitive Counting
quantities. Instead of manually searching an entire drawing for every device, estimators get a faster starting point while remaining in control of the final takeoff.
AI Symbol Detection • Computer Vision • Faster Takeoffs • Estimator Review
AiE Image Matching
Find More of What You're Looking For
Select a symbol directly from an electrical drawing and AiE Image Matching searches for visually similar symbols across the drawing—giving estimators another way to find devices and shore up the takeoff.
Visual Search • Similar Symbol Detection • Fast Drawing Review • Takeoff Verification
Built-In Electrical Assemblies
Turn Takeoff Quantities Into Real Electrical Work
A device count isn't an estimate.
Xkey connects takeoff quantities to electrical assemblies containing the materials and labour required to install the work—helping estimators move from drawing quantities to detailed costing without rebuilding everything manually.
Electrical Assemblies • Material Components • Labour Units • Consistent Estimating
Material & Labor Pricing
Know What the Work Actually Costs
Build estimates using material pricing and labor units connected directly to your assemblies. Adjust labour rates, material costs, markups and project assumptions to reflect how your company actually performs the work.
Material Pricing • Labor Units • Labor Rates • Markups
Detailed Breakout Pricing
See Exactly Where Your Estimate Comes From
Break an estimate down by the information that matters to the job—devices, rooms, areas, systems, equipment or other project requirements—giving estimators greater visibility into pricing and making complex estimates easier to understand.
Device Breakouts • Room Breakouts • System Breakouts • Detailed Cost Visibility
Estimator Control
AI Assists. The Estimator Decides.
Electrical estimating requires experience and judgment. AiE accelerates repetitive takeoff work while keeping the estimator in control of quantities, assemblies, labour, pricing and the final estimate.
Review what AiE finds. Add what it doesn't. Modify assumptions. Build the estimate your way.
Human Review • Editable Takeoffs • Adjustable Assemblies • Full Estimate Control
Quotes & Proposals
Turn the Estimate Into a Professional Quote
Once the estimate is complete, carry the information forward into a customer-facing quote without recreating the job in another system.
Control what your customer sees while maintaining the detailed estimating information behind the proposal.
Estimate-to-Quote • Professional Templates • Pricing Control • Customer-Ready Proposals
Estimate to Project
Winning the Job Shouldn't Mean Starting Over
When an estimate becomes an awarded project, the information you've already built shouldn't disappear.
Xkey carries estimating information forward into the project workflow, connecting the original estimate with project management and field operations.
Estimate → Award → Project → Work Orders → Field → Actual Results
AI Takeoff Is Only the Beginning
A Count Isn't an Estimate
AI can help identify what's on the drawing.
But electrical contractors still need to determine what it takes to install it, how long it takes, what it costs and what to charge.
Xkey connects AI-assisted takeoffs with the estimating tools needed to turn drawing information into a detailed electrical estimate.
Your Estimate Doesn't End When You Win the Job
It Becomes the Foundation of the Project
Once work is awarded, Xkey can carry estimating information forward into Project Management and Field Operations—giving project managers visibility into the original plan and creating the foundation for comparing estimated performance with actual results.
Estimate → Project → Field → Actual Results → Better Information
