5-Steps that will help bring the knowledge of your project team together:
Step 1 -Check the Quantities Tab: When you're done putting together your assemblies, check the Quantities Tab to review your BOM (Bill of Materials). You can also invite other members of your project team to AECInspire so they can review and make changes if necessary.
Step 2 -Connect your Prefab process: To match your Prefab needs, use the Fully Customizable Assembly Codes structure to organize your BOM. You can do this by yourself or invite members from your Prefab team to AECInspire to work on it together.
Step 3 -Customize your Tags: Use our Fully Configurable Tags to display information on the sheets the way you and your teammates need it.
Step 4 -Bring in your Project Schedule: Use Scope Boxes to define the areas of the project and tie them to your Project Schedule in AECInspire. You can do this alone or invite members from your project controls team to AECInspire to help you.
Step 5 -Organize your BOM: Use Filters in the Quantities tab to match your BOM with your Project Schedule and create your delivery packages.
Provide The Right Information
To The Right People At The Right Time.
Every project team needs material-based deliverables sent to several team members at different times throughout the life cycle of a project. AECInspire not only allows you to do this, but we also organize the information to fit the specific needs of the different members of the team.

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.
Benefits of AECInspire for
Electrical Contractors
Is 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 & 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...
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.
Kay-Bee: Kevin R
Project Manager, Kay Bee Electric
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.
Graybar: Alan Humbird
Quality and Service Solutions Manager, Graybar
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.
Baxter-Kenworthy: Jeff Meurrens
President, Baxter-Kenworthy Electric and Fabrication
I can tell you firsthand that the team has fully embraced [AECInspire]. They've totally embraced it, and they see the value. And that's where the industry is going and where we as an organization need to be going.
