The Real Problem
What's Actually Slowing Down Your Electrical Projects
Manual Takeoff Eating Estimator Time
Your best estimators spending days on quantity takeoff is your most expensive inefficiency. Every day spent on manual counting is a day not spent on the next bid.
Drawing Revisions Nobody Caught
Field installing to Rev 1 while the office has Rev 3 on file. The rework cost hits margin before anyone even knows it happened.
No Visibility Into Multiple Active Projects
When leadership can only see project status in a Monday morning meeting, problems have already cost you money.
Platform Features
Everything an Electrical Sub Actually Needs
Built from inside the trades — not adapted from a GC platform. Every feature in ForgeOps exists because electrical subcontractors needed it on real projects.
AI-Powered Electrical Takeoff
Upload your electrical plans. ForgeOps AI reads panel schedules, conduit runs, device counts, and generates a quantity takeoff in minutes — not days. Includes accuracy flagging and historical benchmarking against past electrical projects.
RFI Tracking & Management
Every RFI routed, tracked, and closed in one place — with full audit trails. Your field super gets notified the moment a response comes back. No email inbox required.
Submittal Management
Panel submittals, gear cut sheets, lighting spec sheets — all tracked through the approval process with version control. GCs get faster responses. Your team stops re-submitting the wrong revision.
Plans & Drawing Control
Current drawings always available — in the office and on the job site via Field Mode. No more "which rev are we on" conversations. Always the latest approved set.
Field Mode for Electricians
Built for job site conditions — gloves on, screen in the sun, no patience for slow apps. Daily logs in under 2 minutes. Instant RFI alerts. Current drawings one tap away.
Real-Time Project Dashboard
Every active electrical project, every open RFI, every pending submittal — visible to leadership at a glance. Stop finding out about problems in Monday morning meetings.
Bid Package Management
Manage bid invitations, track trade partner responses, and build your electrical bid from one place — with full document control and communication logs.
Accounting Integrations
Connect Sage or QuickBooks for job cost sync, payroll, and financial reporting. No duplicate data entry between your ops platform and your accounting system.
Workflow Automation
Automate RFI routing, submittal notifications, approval reminders, and status updates. Your team focuses on electrical work — not chasing paper.

Common Questions
Questions Electrical Contractors Ask Us
What construction software is best for electrical contractors?
ForgeOps is purpose-built for electrical subcontractors and MEP trades. Unlike Procore (built for GCs) or Buildertrend (built for residential), ForgeOps is designed around the specific workflows electrical subs run — bidding, RFIs, submittals, panel schedules, takeoff, and field crew coordination.
Does ForgeOps support AI takeoff for electrical plans?
Yes. ForgeOps AI Takeoff reads your electrical plans and returns quantity counts in minutes — device counts, panel schedules, conduit quantities — with accuracy flagging and historical benchmarking. Takeoff data flows directly into your project ops with zero re-entry.
Can our field electricians use ForgeOps on the job site?
Yes. Field Mode is specifically designed for job site conditions — large tap targets, minimal typing, instant RFI notifications, current drawing access, and daily log entry in under 2 minutes. If your crew won't use it, it doesn't help. Field Mode solves that.
How long does implementation take for electrical contractors?
Most electrical contractors are fully operational in ForgeOps within two weeks of signing. We configure your workspace, run live training for your PMs, estimators, and supers, and walk you through your first live project. No IT department or 6-month implementation required.
How much does ForgeOps cost for an electrical contracting company?
ForgeOps starts at $1,750/month for the Core Plan (up to 30 users), $2,750/month for Growth (up to 75 users), and $4,500/month for Regional Pro (up to 150 users). All plans include RFIs, submittals, project dashboards, Field Mode, and ongoing support. No per-user fees, no hidden implementation costs.
Does ForgeOps integrate with Sage or QuickBooks for electrical contractors?
Yes. ForgeOps integrates with Sage and QuickBooks for job cost sync, payroll, invoicing, and vendor payment management. Electrical contractors can also connect STACK for takeoff and estimating handoff, and Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 for team communication and document management.
