How PlanScanAI helps
Electrical drawings bury the detail that determines whether a job is profitable. Socket counts, circuit allocations, containment runs, emergency lighting, DB schedules, isolators, final-sub-circuit references — miss a handful and the margin disappears. PlanScanAI was built to take that risk out of the quoting process.
Point the AI at your plan set, pick ‘Electrical’ as your trade, and run a Guided Scan targeting exactly what you need: twin gang sockets, LV luminaires, DB spare-way counts, specific cable types. Results come back with drawing references attached so you can verify every hit at a glance.
What PlanScanAI extracts from electrical drawings
Every electrical take-off, line-by-line. Our trade-specific logic is tuned for UK symbol conventions and BS 7671 terminology.
- Socket outlets — twin, single, RCD-protected, floor-box, USB, switched/unswitched
- Lighting points — pendants, recessed luminaires, LED panels, strip lights, feature lighting
- Switches — 1-gang, 2-way, intermediate, dimmers, key switches, pull cords
- Distribution boards — type, way-count, spare ways, main switch rating
- Circuit schedules — circuit numbers, cable sizes, protective device ratings, reference methods
- Emergency lighting — maintained, non-maintained, exit signs, monitored systems
- Data & power floor-boxes and under-desk power
- Containment — tray, basket, conduit, trunking runs and sizes
- Isolators, fused spurs and motor starters

- Electric vehicle charge points and associated metering
- Fire alarm interface points and connections
