What Bidflow counts

Focused on three things.

Our AI is purpose-built to count power devices, lighting fixtures, and lighting controls — and only those. Staying narrow is how we keep accuracy high.

Power Devices

Bidflow finds receptacles, tele/data outlets, junction boxes, motors, and the rest of your power symbols.

Lighting Fixtures

Bidflow reads your lighting schedule and detects the lighting fixtures based on designation.

Lighting Controls

Bidflow finds lighting controls like occupancy and vacancy sensors, dimmers, photocells, switches, and etc.

Bidflow model performance across power devices, lighting fixtures, and lighting controls
Near-perfect accuracy

Built for the trade

We trained our AI model to achieve 95–99% accuracy across power devices, lighting fixtures, and lighting controls, depending on drawing difficulty.

  • Counts power devices, lighting fixtures, and lighting controls
  • Understands complex symbol variations
  • Ignores background noise
  • Learns from your corrections
The workflow

Everything you need to take off

Navigate the drawing set, audit every count, and export clean numbers — without juggling extra software.

Built-in PDF Tools

Navigate through your drawing set with page navigation, panning, and zooming.

Pricing

Simple, predictable costs that scale with you.

Pay as you go

Cheaper than coffee.
No subscriptions.

Why pay for hours of manual counting when you can pay pennies for results — and only for what we get right? Here's how the math works.

Precision pays for itself

One missed symbol can cost you $100+ later. One missed bid costs thousands. Accuracy is profit.

Win more revenue

We make takeoffs 10–20x faster, so you can do more bids in the same time. More submissions = more revenue.

You get what you pay for

You get billed for all correct detections — the time and money we save you on counting.
