Field notes
The homepage includes a sample first-floor electrical takeoff with six lines and a counter showing nine approved devices; selecting a line is presented as a way to locate its source on the sheet. The stated workflow uses Ready, Missing information, and Estimator approved states, and says missing scale or legend information blocks completion rather than allowing an override. BidMate says it is currently bringing on a small group of electrical contractors.
