Low Voltage / Security / AV takeoff and estimating
Data, WiFi, cameras, alarm, access control, and AV prewire. Cloer measures the plan once and derives low voltage / security / av quantities from it, priced against the rates in your own price book.
What gets priced automatically
Each line derives its quantity from the takeoff. The rates below are starting defaults — every one of them is editable in your price book, and yours is what actually gets used.
| Line item | Unit | Quantity comes from |
|---|
Available, but never added on its own
These sit in the price book so you can add them deliberately. Nothing here auto-prices — a line you didn't ask for is worse than a line you have to add.
- Data & network drops (each)
- Security camera & sensor package (job)
- AV prewire (each)
- Access control (commercial) (each)
Same plan, every trade you carry
Measure once
Upload the drawing and Cloer measures areas, perimeters, and openings. Low Voltage / Security / AV quantities derive from those same measurements.
Price from your rates
Your price book drives every line. Change a rate and the estimate, proposal, and every downstream document follow.
Send the paperwork
Proposal, change order, invoice — and on Crew, purchase orders, sub scope sheets, and material lists.
