About Bidflow
Summary
Bidflow builds AI estimating software for electrical contractors bidding on commercial construction projects. Its first product, LuxTakeoff, reads uploaded lighting drawings, extracts fixture schedules, counts fixtures, and measures linear quantities, replacing the sheet-by-sheet manual counting that makes takeoffs the slowest part of preparing a bid. Every AI-generated result is reviewable and editable before the contractor exports quantities to a quote.
Business model
SaaS subscription, with pricing not publicly detailed beyond a demo-request model.
Go-to-market
Commercial lighting estimators and electrical contractors are the target buyers; they access the product through a self-serve demo request on the LuxTakeoff website.

AI Electrical Estimator
We use AI to help electrical contractors submit more competitive bids to construction projects. We do this by speeding up the estimating part of bidding, which is the most tedious part of the job. Specifically, we're building models that can understand floor plans and count electrical devices to generate the estimate. Bidflow is the future of electrical pre-construction.
