Electrical Takeoff Software for Australia (AI-Powered)
Upload Australian electrical plan sets and get AS/NZS-aligned takeoffs in minutes, priced in AUD. A faster alternative to manual Bluebeam takeoff — Aginera counts every component and reads every schedule automatically.
Electrical takeoff software for Australia uses AI to read electrical construction drawings and automatically count switchgear, accessories, luminaires and cable pulls, and measure cable and containment — producing metric quantities that map onto an ANZSMM Bill of Quantities, priced in AUD. Instead of clicking every symbol in Bluebeam, the estimator reviews AI-generated quantities that each trace back to the sheet they came from.

From Bluebeam markup to an automatic takeoff
Bluebeam is the standard on most Australian sites for marking up and coordinating drawings — but the takeoff itself is still manual clicking and measuring. A large power-and-lighting set is a full day of counting before pricing starts.
Aginera reads the same drawings and produces the count for you — switchboards, cable, containment, accessories and luminaires — so your estimator reviews and adjusts rather than starting from a blank measure at the end of a long day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Aginera electrical takeoff software suitable for Australian contractors?
Yes. Aginera reads Australian electrical plan sets — power and lighting layouts, switchboard schedules, single-line diagrams and cable routes — and produces metric quantities that map onto an ANZSMM Bill of Quantities. Cable, containment and accessories are handled with the terminology Australian estimators use, and estimates are priced in AUD.
Is this a good alternative to Bluebeam for takeoff?
Bluebeam Revu is excellent for PDF markup, but takeoff in Bluebeam is still manual — you click every symbol and measure every run yourself. Aginera reads the drawing itself: it recognises symbols, reads switchboard and luminaire schedules, and traces cable routes, so you review a populated takeoff instead of starting from a blank markup. Many Australian estimators searching for "Bluebeam AI takeoff" are looking for exactly this.
Does it align with AS/NZS 3000 and Australian measurement?
Aginera produces metric quantities that you group into an ANZSMM-aligned Bill of Quantities. The extraction is built around the way Australian electrical drawings are drawn and scheduled — consistent with AS/NZS 3000 conventions — so the output is familiar to a local estimator or quantity surveyor.
What file formats does it support?
Aginera processes PDF plan sets and CAD files (DWG, DXF). Most Australian plan sets arrive as multi-page PDFs — upload the file and Aginera processes the whole set. Vector PDFs exported from CAD extract more reliably than scanned drawings.
How accurate are the AI-generated takeoffs?
It varies by sheet type, and that is the honest answer. Switchboard and luminaire schedules — structured tables — extract more reliably than dense power layouts where symbols overlap dimension strings. Every item carries a confidence score and a reference back to the sheet it came from, so verification is a targeted spot-check rather than a re-measure. Treat any vendor quoting a single accuracy figure across all drawing types with caution, including us.
Can it also convert PDF drawings to CAD?
Yes — if you need editable geometry rather than a takeoff, Aginera also converts vector PDF drawings to DWG or DXF in the browser, with no Autodesk account. Many Australian users arrive looking for "pdf to cad" and stay for the takeoff.
