Where this job sits on the map

In the same group: 78 of 100 professions.

What changes

  1. Draft calculations and material lists take minutes, but they still need checking against code

  2. You can hand the customer a clear written explanation instead of explaining it all out loud

  3. Smart home devices, sensors and app setup are now part of the install

AI drafts, the person decides

How the work splits here: AI prepares a draft, the person checks it and makes the call.

AI makes the draft

What AI does

  • A draft load calculation and wire-size check for you to verify against the current NEC and your local code
  • A materials list and an estimate from a description of the job
  • A work summary, a scope of work and a plain-language explanation for the customer
  • Finding the right section in the code or spec you've uploaded, with a reference to the source
You check itRead it, check the facts, fix it. Without this check the draft goes nowhere.
You decide and stay responsible

What stays with the person

  • The design decision, and checking every calculation against the code where you work
  • The install, the measurements and the testing
  • Your license, your qualifications and your sign-off on the safety of the job
  • The conversation with the customer on site
