Drawer AI

🖼️ Tool Name:
Drawer AI

🔖 Tool Category:
AI-Powered Electrical Estimating Software – a specialized tool for automating takeoffs, device detection, and routing from electrical drawings in PDF format.

✏️ What does this tool offer?
Drawer AI streamlines the electrical estimating process by using artificial intelligence to analyze engineering PDFs. It automatically detects electrical components (lighting fixtures, outlets, panels, etc.), draws branch and feeder circuits, and calculates wire sizing based on voltage drop requirements. The platform allows you to stitch multiple plans into one comprehensive view and export detailed Excel and PDF reports with visual markups, reducing the need for manual takeoffs and calculations.

⭐ What does the tool actually deliver based on user experience?
• Fast and accurate detection of electrical devices directly from PDF drawings
• Automated routing of branch circuits and feeders, including precise wire sizing
• Ability to combine multiple drawing sets into a unified logical layout
• Generation of Excel takeoffs and PDF markups with quantity and path summaries
• Significant time savings—up to 70% reduction in estimation time
• Real-world case studies show 10× ROI through faster workflows and fewer errors
• Simple, cloud-based interface—upload, process, and download with no local installation needed
