Real output from a Florida apartment project
Whether you're a one-man shop bidding residential remodels or a 50-person crew chasing multifamily and industrial jobs — the takeoff bottleneck is the same. Every missed receptacle eats your profit. Every 16-hour count burns your weekend.
Doesn't matter if it's a 200-unit apartment complex or a warehouse buildout. Counting devices by hand takes days you don't have — especially when multiple bids are due the same week.
Miss 2 receptacles per unit on a multifamily job — that's $34K gone. Miss a panel on a commercial fit-out — that's worse. The math is the same whether it's stick frame or concrete.
You finish the takeoff. You "feel" like it's right. But there's no second set of eyes. No confidence check. You just bid and pray.
If you can email a PDF, you can use TradeStack.
Drop your electrical PDF — floor plans, panel schedules, fixture lists. Residential remodel or 300-unit high-rise. Multi-page sets are fine. Any size, any project type.
Receptacles, switches, fixtures — detected and counted. Panel schedules read and extracted. Labor hours estimated per device. For apartments, count one unit type and multiply across the building.
Every count has a confidence score. Green = go. Yellow = quick look. Red = verify before you bid. Export to Excel and plug into your workflow.
Other tools give you numbers and leave you guessing. TradeStack reads your panel schedules, counts every device, estimates labor hours — and tells you exactly where to spend your time.
High confidence — Template-matched, cross-referenced. Trust it.
Medium confidence — Inferred from context. Worth a 30-second look.
Low confidence — Flagged for manual check. Don't bid without verifying.
TradeStack handles any electrical plans — stick frame houses, concrete high-rises, warehouses, retail fit-outs. But for apartment buildings, the unit multiplication feature is a game-changer.
5 unit types · 200 units counted · Labor estimated · Time: under 2 hours
TradeStack was built in the field for electricians of every size. Not in a Silicon Valley office.
If you've emailed a PDF, you can use TradeStack. Upload plans, get results. Whether you're a solo estimator or running a team, the first takeoff takes under 5 minutes.
Missed fixtures cost money on a custom home. On a 200-unit apartment building, they're catastrophic. Confidence scoring catches what tired eyes don't — on any project size.

That's the wrong question — the right one is "how do I know what's accurate?" Every count comes with a confidence score. High-confidence items are template-matched and cross-referenced. Low-confidence items are flagged so you verify before bidding. You catch more missed items than manual counting because the system tells you what it's unsure about.
About 5 minutes. Upload a PDF, hit run, get results. No training, no certification, no onboarding. If you can email an attachment and read a spreadsheet, you already know how to use TradeStack.
TradeStack exports to Excel, which plugs into Accubid, ConEst, McCormick, QuickBooks, or your own spreadsheet. We don't force you to change how you work.
Everything — residential, commercial, industrial, multifamily, mixed-use. Stick frame or concrete. If it has electrical plans on a PDF, TradeStack can read it. The unit multiplication feature is especially powerful for apartment buildings, but device counting, panel reads, and labor estimates work on any project type.
It will — and it tells you when it might. That's the whole point of confidence scoring. Every output is labeled so you know which counts to trust and which to verify. You're not blindly trusting a black box.
Your plans never leave our encrypted servers. We don't share data with other contractors and we don't train models on your project files. Your drawings are yours.
