Drawing review for electrical engineers and contractors
Count devices from the drawings instead of by hand, and review one-lines and layouts with symbols your team already uses.

Workflows that apply
Device and fixture counts
Symbol search finds every receptacle or fitting that looks like the one you picked; counts total by subject and sheet.
Takeoff and estimating →Symbol libraries
Tool Chest libraries for US building symbols and IEC-style electrical symbols (breakers, contactors, motors, earthing), or your own.
Coordination
Overlay the lighting plan on the ceiling plan; RFIs pinned to the sheet when something doesn’t fit.
Punch lists and RFIs →An example from our sample sets
The sample water treatment plant’s single-line diagram labels one raw water pump feeder P-101D, while the P&ID and the instrument index call it P-101C — a project search for “P-101” puts the three sheets side by side.
Our sample sets are generated, fictional drawings made for demonstrations.
Good to know
- Panel schedules are reviewed as drawings; Planspector doesn’t read their tables into data.

Architects
Design review, redlines and revision compare on PDF drawing sets, in the browser — with consultants and clients in the same review.
Mechanical and HVAC engineers
Overlay duct and equipment layouts on the architecture to find clashes, measure duct runs and count diffusers on PDF drawings.
Plumbing and fire protection
Fixture counts, pipe lengths and riser review on PDF drawings, with drawing checks for fixture tags against the schedule.
Structural engineers
Framing and foundation review, shop drawing review with approval stamps, and RFIs on PDF drawing sets.
General contractors and subcontractors
Takeoff and estimates, punch lists, RFIs, submittals, daily reports and closeout packages from the drawing set, in the browser.
