Homerun Reviews & Product Details

Homerun is takeoff and estimating software built for electrical contractors — one trade, done properly, rather than a general construction tool with an electrical template bolted on. Send the set as the architect issued it. PDFs, bad scans included, nothing to rename, split or export first. Homerun reads E-series plans, panel schedules, riser diagrams and symbol legends the way an estimator reads them — legend first — and marks every device, fixture and switchboard it finds, grouped by system against your own legend rather than a generic symbol library. Lighting, GPOs and switchgear, emergency and exit, detection and alarm, switchboards, conduit and cable runs. Homeruns are traced back to the board, so length is measured rather than estimated. Nothing is a number you take on faith. Every quantity stays pinned to the symbol it came from — click it and the drawing opens at that mark, on that sheet. Override a count and the override holds, with the change recorded. Anything genuinely ambiguous is flagged rather than quietly guessed. Counts land against your catalogue — your suppliers, your part numbers, your rates — itemised by code with material, labour and line totals. Your estimating structure does not change: same cost book, same rates, same margins. Most teams are bidding a real job inside three business days.
