What is low-voltage and AV estimating software?
Low-voltage and AV takeoff software helps technology contractors count devices, measure cable runs, and quantify infrastructure from construction plans. Estimators in structured cabling, audio-visual, security, and fire alarm use it to build accurate bids from architectural and technology drawings. The software handles device counts — cameras, access readers, WAPs, speakers, displays — along with cable pathway measurements, conduit lengths, and rack unit calculations. For contractors bidding on office buildouts, hospitals, schools, and retail, a fast and accurate takeoff is the difference between winning profitable work and leaving money on the table.
AI-powered low-voltage takeoff software like Exayard accelerates this process by automatically identifying device symbols and measuring cable pathways from plan sheets. Instead of manually counting hundreds of data drops or tracing cable tray routes, the AI does it in seconds and organizes results by floor, zone, or system. This is especially valuable on large commercial projects where a single building may have thousands of low-voltage devices across data, security, and AV systems. Exayard helps estimators bid more projects without adding headcount.
Why low-voltage contractors choose AI estimating
Count devices and measure cable runs in minutes, not hours.
Device symbol counting
Counts cameras, WAPs, speakers, access readers, and data outlets across all sheets automatically.
Cable run measurement
Measures horizontal cable runs from device to telecom room including vertical risers.
Pathway length tracking
Calculates cable tray, conduit, and J-hook run lengths for infrastructure pricing.
Rack unit estimation
Tallies equipment by type to help estimate rack space and power requirements.
Multi-system separation
Keeps data, security, AV, and fire alarm quantities in separate organized categories.
Cable box calculation
Converts run lengths to cable box counts with configurable waste factors.
