Takeoff software built to keep up.
VAWN is a modern tool built to move you from plan to BOM quickly. It's designed to be fast, efficient, and satisfying to use.
Built by the team behind PlanGrid.
Don't start from scratch.
Upload your set. VAWN agents go through it sheet by sheet, so the project is organized, searchable and mostly counted when you get to it.
- Names and sorts every drawing
- Reads the scale off each sheet
- Pulls the panel and fixture schedules
- Counts and locates most devices
- Works out the building conditions
Real project · detention facility · 307 sheets
267 lights · 482 receptacles · 298 telecom · 192 fire alarm · 17 panels
Count and associate devices.
VAWN recognizes symbols across architectural, electrical, and mechanical drawings and tie each one back to its schedule entry so quantities and details stay in sync.
Read panels and SLDs like an engineer.
VAWN parses panel schedules, identifies feeders, and walks SLDs from the utility to each downstream device. Turning the most labor intensive pages into structured data.
- Panel schedules: Every breaker, load, and spare extracted into a clean table.
- SLDs: Feeder runs, transformer kVAs, and bus ratings parsed automatically.
- Cross-reference: Devices on the floor plan are linked to their circuits on the SLD.
Conduit routing at the drawing's scale.
VAWN connects each device back to its panel using the drawing's own scale, producing accurate footage for conduit, wire, and supports. No more approximations.
- Sizing: Conduit and wire sizes derived from circuit load and breaker spec.
- BOM ready: Output flows straight into your existing takeoff or purchasing workflow.
Ask your project anything.
Instantly find answers to:
- Where is the power detail for central control room 223?
- What is powered by circuit EH1A-7?
- Describe the electrical system of this project.
Build on strong foundations.
From security to scale, VAWN is built with the quality the construction industry deserves.
The Team
From the engineering leadership behind PlanGrid.
Encrypted, isolated, auditable
AES-256 at rest, TLS in transit. Each customer’s blueprints and data are tenant-isolated.
Hosted on US soil
All workloads and data stay in US-based regions. No cross-border replication, no offshore storage.
