You counted it.
It’s already priced.
Skora is takeoff and estimating in one program. Every symbol you stamp and every run you draw becomes a priced material and labor line the second you place it — against a full item database and assemblies, built in. No export. No re-typing into a second program. Built multi-trade from the floor up — electrical is live today. A Nordix product.
Pick your trade and we’ll tell you straight where it stands. Electrical is in daily use now; the rest are queued in the order you ask for them.

Count it once. Watch it become a bid.
One job, four screens, no export between any of them. Every number below is engine-computed from the counts on the sheet above.
A count is never just a number
Count, linear, area, symbol-match and text search across multi-page PDFs, then bind each object to an assembly. 146 duplexes become 146 receptacles, 146 boxes, 2,190 ft of MC cable and 1,022 screws — expanded by the engine, not by you. Expand any row to see exactly where a quantity came from.
Priced as you work
Components from every object consolidate into one material list — conduit, conductors, connectors, boxes, hardware — extended against your prices and labor units. Edit a price or a labor unit inline and the whole estimate moves. Your library and your pricing stay yours.
A number you can sign
Material, labor, quotes, equipment, indirects and subs roll into one build-up, each bucket carrying its own markup. Edit a labor rate, a burden percentage or a markup and the sell price moves live. No spreadsheet, no re-keying, no second program.
Models trained on trade symbols — not generic shape-matching.
Skora’s detection is trained on real construction documents to recognize what an estimator recognizes: receptacles, switches, lighting, disconnects, cable tray. One click from the takeoff toolbar, with a model picker per symbol type.
You review and correct every count. Detection assists the estimator — it never replaces the check. Nothing is stamped into your takeoff that you haven’t confirmed.
Your plans, counts and pricing stay in your workspace and are never pooled across companies. Contributing verified counts back to model training is opt-in, off by default.

| Rev | Item | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|
| LIVE | Electrical takeoff & estimating | Working on real jobs today. Takeoff, symbol detection you review, assemblies, item database, audit trail, extension, quotes, equipment, indirects, subs, closeout, exports. |
| LIVE | Code-intelligent tools | Voltage drop calculates itself, branch circuits and feeders size themselves, box fill is checked, violations flag with one-click fixes. Built on NEC 2023 tables — a working aid, not a certification. You stay the engineer of record. |
| LIVE | Hosted, log in anywhere | Plans, takeoff, database and estimates sync across machines. Pick up on any device. |
| IN BUILD | Mechanical, plumbing, low-voltage | Nothing in the canvas, item database, pricing engine or detection pipeline is electrical-specific — the platform is multi-trade underneath, and electrical is simply the first trade turned on. Each new trade brings its own symbol set, assemblies and code tools. Tell us your trade at signup and it moves up the order. |
| IN BUILD | Detection that compounds | Symbol models ship trained today. Turning verified counts into a continuous, opt-in training loop — better every job, without pooling anyone’s plans — is the next step. |
| IN BUILD | Teams & multiple companies | Single-company workspace today. Team invites and full company isolation are the gate before the doors open wider. |
| IN BUILD | Richer deliverables | Customer proposal PDF and BOM (PDF + CSV) today. Detailed estimate, Excel output and a PM-handoff bundle are on the near list. |
| VISION | The closed loop with Nordix | Nordix is the live bid-to-closeout console — it runs a won job from award through closeout and captures what it actually cost. Skora bids it; Nordix builds it and benchmarks it. Handing a Skora estimate straight into a Nordix job, then feeding those actuals back to sharpen the next bid, is the roadmap we’re building toward — not a feature you can use yet. The two run separately today. |
Boring where it counts.
An estimate is a number you sign your name to. Skora is built to be exact, repeatable and easy to audit — not clever.
To the penny
Every line traces its math. Audit the whole estimate back to the symbol.
No spinner
Big plan sets and 2,000-circuit jobs stay fast.
Built in
Complete item database and assemblies from day one.
Yours
Your library and pricing, snapshotted so bids never drift.
The north star: take off a 2,000-circuit job faster than PlanSwift, get an Accubid-grade priced estimate out of it, have the software catch the code problems for you — and never once wait on a spinner.
Bring us a real job.
Leave an email and we’ll walk you through one of your own plan sets — and tell you plainly what’s live and what’s still coming.
