Bildrix reads the panel schedules on your electrical sheets into a Panel Editor: circuit, description, breaker trip and poles, load. On this fire station set, open panel A and check it against the sheet, fix a load the read got wrong, press R to step through what is still marked, then accept the rest and mark the panel reviewed. Connected load and phase balance match the schedule's printed totals.
On the first floor power plan, place panel A where the drawing shows it and name it after the schedule. Extract tags reads the circuit numbers printed beside each device and links the devices to their circuits. Suggest connections drafts each circuit from its devices with a home run back to the panel, and you review and accept the drafts. Apply a branch wiring assembly to the wire, create the estimate, and the cable footage and electrician hours arrive as priced lines, each tagged with where its price came from.

This fire station's electrical set has four panel schedules on one sheet. Bildrix reads every one of them. By the end, those circuits are wired on the floor plan and priced, line by line, in the estimate.
Each panel lands in one list: voltage, circuit count, what's left to review, and connected load. Open panel A, and check it against the sheet. Laundry 131 came in at 180 VA. The schedule says 1.54 kVA, so type the fix. Press R to jump to the next circuit still marked. When it all checks out, accept the rest, and mark the panel reviewed. Connected load now matches the sheet: 139.6 kVA, leg for leg. On the first floor power plan, panel A sits in the mechanical room. Drop a panel on it and name it after the schedule.
Red marks a device with no circuit yet. Extract tags reads the circuit numbers printed beside each device, and links 131 of them to their circuits. Then let the AI wire it. Suggest connections drafts each circuit from its devices and runs its home run back to panel A.
Review the drafts and accept them: about seven thousand feet of branch wiring on this sheet. To price it, pick the wire runs and apply a branch wiring assembly. This is a commercial job, so 12/2 MC.
Create the estimate. The electrical scope picks up the wire and every counted device. Cable footage and electrician hours arrive as priced lines, each tagged with where its price came from, so you know what to check before you send it.
Bildrix. Takeoff and estimating for contractors, from the plan set to a priced estimate.
