Romex / NM-B & Service Panel
Service Panel Planner
Enter the dwelling demand load from your applicable electrical load calculation. The designer converts it to amperes and recommends the next common service size.

Planning only — verify the adopted NEC edition, local amendments, utility requirements, load calculation, conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and equipment ratings before installation or permitting.
Electrical Circuit & Panel Designer
Create circuits, assign placed electrical devices, and generate a panel schedule.
Add or select a circuit to edit it.
Assigned Devices
Plumbing Planning
Fixture, Supply & Drain Takeoff
Estimated routing only. Verify pipe sizing, developed length, pressure, drainage, venting, fixture units, local plumbing code and manufacturer requirements.
HVAC Planning
Room Airflow & Duct Takeoff
BTU and airflow figures are conceptual planning estimates, not a Manual J, Manual S or Manual D design. Verify actual HVAC sizing before installation.
Framing Planning
Wall Framing & Structural Takeoff
Selected Room Framing
These settings apply to the currently selected room and override the project defaults.
Framing quantities are estimating values only. Verify structural plans, load-bearing conditions, header design, spans, fastening, bracing, sheathing, local code and engineering requirements before construction.
Landscape & Site Planning
Yard, Hardscape & Site Takeoff
Select a landscape item below, then click and drag on the site plan to create it.
Landscape quantities are estimating values. Verify grading, drainage, utilities, setbacks, soil conditions, irrigation design, local requirements, material specifications and site measurements before construction.

Project Summary
New Contractor Project
Planning estimates only. Verify field measurements, product coverage, local code requirements, and manufacturer specifications before ordering materials.
From room measurements to a planning takeoff
The designer is a planning workspace for room geometry and early quantities. Start with field measurements, create and name rooms, place openings, then review the takeoff. A useful plan records assumptions so the estimate can be checked when the job changes.
Step by step
- Name the project, add rooms and enter exact width, length and ceiling height. Arrange them on the plan and add the measured doors and windows.
- Choose the trade layer you need and review its material settings, routing factors and waste. Check shared walls and openings rather than assuming every room total is a complete purchase list.
- Review the room-by-room breakdown and whole-project quantities. Save the project and transfer a takeoff to the estimate, then enter actual unit costs.
Worked example
A 12 × 10-foot rectangular room has 120 square feet of floor area. With an 8-foot ceiling, the four walls have 352 square feet of gross wall area before openings: 2 × (12 + 10) × 8. Compare these basics with your plan before relying on its more detailed trade totals.
Distinguish quantities from construction design
A routing factor estimates extra cable or pipe distance; it is not a substitute for a measured route. Framing quantities do not establish structural adequacy. HVAC planning loads do not replace a room-by-room design, and electrical planning values do not verify a compliant service or circuit installation. Use qualified design and local requirements where applicable.
Why do imported takeoff items have no price?
A quantity takeoff describes how much material may be needed. It cannot know your supplier price or labor rate. In the estimator, check quantities and units, supply prices and labor before sending a proposal; an unpriced takeoff is not a finished bid.
