How RL Electric Cut Estimating Time with AI-Powered Takeoffs

We recently spoke with Maricruz from RL Electric about how her team is using Quotr to streamline electrical estimating and proposal management.

At RL Electric, Maricruz handles proposal preparation, including performing detailed takeoffs from electrical plans before finalizing bids. Before using Quotr, the process relied heavily on manual counting using PDF markup tools — a time-consuming workflow that required carefully tracking every symbol across large sets of drawings.

After adopting Quotr, the team began using AI-powered tools to assist with symbol recognition and counting directly on electrical plans. This has helped simplify the takeoff process and reduce the amount of manual work required during estimating.

In the interview, Maricruz shares how RL Electric previously handled takeoffs, what led them to explore new tools, and which Quotr features have had the biggest impact on their day-to-day workflow.

She also discusses how the ability to quickly review counts, make adjustments, and manage materials within a database helps the team move faster while preparing bids.
