AI takeoff for electrical estimators.
Counts luminaires, accessories, and fire alarm devices the way you would. Handles symbol revisions, marked-up scans, and the photo of a drawing on a desk.
Electrical drawings, the way they actually arrive.
Symbol-matching tools want a clean reference drawing with a known symbol library. Real electrical drawings come back from the architect with red-pen markups, photocopied at 200 dpi, with the contractor's revisions stuck on top.
ZeroCount's vision model reads the conventions on UK electrical drawings — luminaire types, accessory variants, device categories — without you having to maintain a symbol library by hand.
Counted by category, ready to price.
Luminaires by type
Differentiates Cat 2, downlights, emergency luminaires, batten fittings — by symbol convention, not just shape.
Sockets, switches, fittings
Single, twin, fused, switched. The model knows the conventions on UK electrical drawings.
Fire alarm + security devices
Smoke detectors, heat detectors, MCPs, sounders, beacons. Counts by category and totals.
Containment and cable runs
Measure trunking, tray, and basket runs by colour or layer. Lengths broken down by size.
Quick answers.
- Do you handle scanned PDFs and photographed plans?
- Yes. Vector PDFs, scanned PDFs, and photos of plans on a desk all run through the same engine. Most of the value is in the messier formats — a clean CAD-export PDF is the easy case.
- How does pricing work?
- £55 per licence per month. No tiers, no enterprise upsell. Multi-licence rates available from five seats — bring the team size to the demo call.
- Can I push counts into my estimating system?
- Counts push directly into Ensign estimating with 300,000+ live UK prices and labour times. Excel export is also supported if you price elsewhere.
- Innovate UK funded
- ICO registered
- CHAS accredited
- Constructionline
- Built in the UK
