  • Help with Addressing the Skilled Labor Shortage

    Are you having trouble staffing your jobs with skilled electricians? One of the proven ways to address the skilled labor shortage is prefabrication. AECInspire enables and enhances prefabrication usage, and you can reduce your on-site skilled labor costs by up to 50%.

  • Accurate Material Take Off and BOMs

    AECInspire digitizes manual 2D/3D take off process for electrical contractors. Your take off workflows are integrated within AECInspire to be used in the downstream processes, including prefabrication and procurement. You can quickly detail your branch layouts and generate comprehensive BOMs.

  • Data-driven Change Order and Constructability Support

    Our process for generating BOM helps contractors operationalize their BOMs for change order and constructability support. You can use AECInspire to check material sizes for constructability support. You can also support managing the "inevitable," aka "change orders," by getting insights into the changes broken down across different versions of your models through AECInspire's version-controlled models and associated BOMs.

  • Easier Material Procurement

    AECInspire helps electrical contractors, suppliers, and distributors collaborate early in the project for efficient project, supply chain and logistics planning. This early insight into project materials will enable faster and more accurate ordering, reduced back-orders, and just-in-time delivery. You can also use our mobile material tracking application to gain visibility on your materials' journey from ordering through installation. Overall, AECInspire will set you up for an efficient procurement process.

  • Rapid Prefabrication Adoption and Enhancement

    Our automated take off process and BOM get you one step closer to your installation and prefabrication goals. If you like to start implementing prefab but don’t know where to start, or you already own your prefab shop and looking for ways to improve your efficiency, you can leverage AECInspire’s ordering and assembly BOMs, install drawings, and provider network to achieve your goals.

  • Reduced Waste

    Do you think your electricians are losing time waiting for materials, tools, and plans to start the installation? Your electricians' primary time should be dedicated to installation. They should not lose time trying to accrue tools to install, moving palates of materials around, or trying to find materials to install. If they do, it is a waste of their time. AECInspire significantly reduces labor waste time and lets your labor focus on installation by enabling the coordination of having the right materials when and where they need it. Do you have material waste in your projects? AECInspire helps reduce material waste in your projects by providing accurate BOMs so you can have the right amount of material when needed.

Electrical Contractors

lIs the skilled labor shortage affecting your business? Do you need a better way to do branch? Do you want to start using prefab or enhance your prefab? If you say 'Yes' to any of these questions, we can help you through our AECInspire platform:

  • You can quickly detail your entire branch layout, take off and generate assembly and ordering BOMs using AECInspire. Our platform makes your job site teams more proactive, not reactive. It makes their jobs easier, lets them focus on installation, and eliminates the repeat work and guesswork for branch!

  • Our collaborative platform leads to better communication, and will help your teams plan for installation better, reduce costly mistakes before they materialize and reduce the overall labor time and material waste in your projects.

  • Electrical contractors have a wide range of technology and prefabrication adoption, which is okay! You will be able to enable or enhance your prefabrication through our platform if; you currently have no to little prefab usage, own prefab shops, or are advanced enough to sell your assemblies. As a result, you can expect to reduce your skilled labor costs by up to 50%!

Manufactured Assembly Providers (MAP)

Are you a contractor trying to sell their assemblies? Or a manufacturer selling assemblies?

  • Then, you can work with our team to enhance your product catalogs through our innovation services and/or upload your catalogs to our platform so the contractors can buy manufactured assemblies from you.

  • This way, you will be able to make your assemblies available in the market, start selling and improve your sales.

  • Electrical contractors can browse through your catalogs to choose which assemblies will work best for their projects without necessarily having prior prefab experience or owning a prefab shop. As a result, our MAP will help everyone save time & money!

Material-Suppliers

Material Suppliers & Distributors 

Do you think the lack of early visibility of your customers' projects limits how you could help them? If a contractor allows you, you can start collaborating with them on their projects earlier:

  • Collaborating with an electrical contractor on a specific project helps distributors provide services that can help them receive the needed materials just in time.

  • If you are a Supplier with new products that you are trying to make electrical contractors and the market aware of, you can load your product catalogs on our platform. This way, contractors will have visibility when they take off for their projects and determine which assemblies they want for their projects.

  • Having early visibility to projects and purchase orders will provide insights that can help you understand electrical contractors' demand better, strategize ways to improve your demand-supply channels, and achieve just-in-time delivery for them.

What They Say...

Kay-Bee 100x100

We’ve wanted to implement prefab on our jobs but didn’t have the time to figure it out. The AECInspire team brought us the expertise needed to get started, and we look forward to growing our prefab usage on future projects.

Kevin R

Project Manager, Kay Bee Electric

Graybar 100x100

AECInspire's 2D Module enabled us to serve our customers more efficiently. It simplifies the workflow and generates a comprehensive BOM exactly as we want.

Alan Humbird

Quality and Service Solutions Manager, Graybar

Baxter Kenworthy 100x100

I felt we were spending more time designing and preparing for fabrication than we were building it. AECInspire came along with a great solution for doing take off for us and provide us a Bill of Materials (BOM) for the assemblies. It really allows us to spend our time fabricating instead of doing the design for fabrication. So, it really subsidized us and allowed us to increase our customer support. We can take on more projects with their help.

Jeff Meurrens

President, Baxter-Kenworthy Electric and Fabrication

Kay-Bee 100x100

We’re tasked with completing jobs on time but don’t always have the manpower or time required. AECInspire helped us determine and build the correct assemblies for our project, making installation easier and faster.

Ben K

General Foreman, Kay Bee Electric

Spring 100x100

Our goal was to get rid of a lot of manual processes and automate them, especially Title 24. When we switched over from CAD to Revit, we knew that we can take advantage of having a design in Revit and be able to extract data from Revit and feed it into Title 24 forms. Sanveo and their team helped us to achieve our expectations to extract the data and bring in the AECInspire platform to utilize the data.
