For the working contractor
You didn't get into electrical contractors to spend Sundays in Excel.
Archer takes the parts of bid response you hate — reading the spec book, counting the drawings, writing the cover letter — and does them in minutes. Not hours. Minutes.
Your evenings come back. Your weekends come back. You spend time on the work you actually got into this trade to do.
You still approve every line. Archer just gets the draft there first.
For the growing business
Growing a electrical contractors business? Archer lets you respond to every bid without hiring an estimator.
Every bid you skip is revenue you leave on the table. But hiring a full-time estimator to chase more work is a $90K bet before they close a single deal.
Archer handles the first 80% of bid response — the parsing, the draft takeoff, the proposal assembly — so one person can cover the bid volume that used to require three.
Triple your bid volume without tripling your headcount.
How it works
Three stages. Your vocabulary.
Parse
Archer reads Division 26 section by section — panel schedules, conduit runs, device counts, specs for EMT and MC cable. Conflicting submittals get flagged as RFI candidates.
Takeoff
Archer drafts a takeoff with EMT feet separated from wire feet separated from box counts. Material cost, labor hours, and equipment all separated.
Propose
Archer writes a cover letter, scope narrative grouped by Division 26, exclusions, and qualifications. DOCX and PDF. Send it from your phone.
