AI estimating built around how electrical work actually gets bid.
The fastest way to lose a job you bid right is to staff it wrong. The fastest way to lose money on a job you won is to bid it wrong. Amped Foreman is built to fix the bid side first.
What the takeoff actually does
Pull a 40-sheet PDF in. The system reads the full sheet index, parses panel schedules across multi-sheet sets, and pulls device counts from the floor plans. NEC chapter 9 fill calculations get applied to conduit runs with bend allowance baked in.
The output is a supply-house-ready bill of materials. NECA labor units come with the line items so the estimate sheet drops straight into your bid template.
Where the labor numbers come from
NECA Manual of Labor Units, with productivity factors tunable for height, existing construction, night work, and crew size. The labor side is where most estimating tools either skip the conversation or hand you a single multiplier. Amped Foreman lets you tune the factors per project so the labor sheet matches the conditions on the ground.
Field side, same platform
Schedules, daily reports, and punch lists run on the same project record. The estimator and the foreman see the same job, so the bid does not live in one tool and the field does not live in another.
What is on the roadmap
Mechanical, HVAC, and plumbing estimating modules. Field ops works for all trades today.
Real shop, real numbers
Built by a contractor who scaled MMP Electrical Services and AP Electric past $10M each. The takeoff engine, labor unit logic, and field ops loop come from running real bids on real plans. Not from a software team that read a few trade magazines.
