AI Agent for Electrical Project Estimation

Built for Power Plug Electric

Power Plug Electric is a locally owned electrical contractor serving residential and commercial customers across the Seattle and South Sound area. Mainix built a custom AI-powered estimation platform that helps the company collect detailed project information, review customer photos, generate preliminary estimates, and manage communication before an on-site visit is required. The platform includes a customer portal, an internal admin portal, a model-agnostic AI estimation assistant, and an internal knowledge assistant for electrical and Washington State requirements.

Background

Power Plug Electric provides free estimates for electrical projects, but preparing a useful estimate often requires detailed information about the property, electrical panel, existing wiring, equipment, distances, and installation conditions. Before the platform was developed, collecting this information frequently required an in-person visit. That consumed valuable electrician time and delayed the customer's ability to receive an initial idea of project scope and cost.

The challenge

Power Plug Electric needed a faster way to provide useful preliminary estimates without sending an electrician to every property first. The solution had to collect the same project-specific details an electrician would normally ask for, support photo uploads, identify missing information, and generate a realistic preliminary estimate without presenting it as a guaranteed final price. It also needed to give the internal team a structured project overview before deciding whether an on-site visit was necessary.

High Level Architecture
The solution

Mainix designed and developed a custom estimation platform around Power Plug Electric's real operational workflow.

Customers can describe their project, answer dynamically generated follow-up questions, upload relevant photos, receive a preliminary estimate, review previous requests, and communicate directly with the company. The internal admin portal allows the Power Plug Electric team to review submitted project information, inspect uploaded photos, manage estimates and statuses, and communicate with customers from one place. Mainix also developed an internal AI assistant that helps the team find information related to electrical work and Washington State requirements when reviewing projects.

The outcome

The completed platform automates the early stages of the estimation process while keeping electricians in control of final pricing and project decisions.

Customers can receive useful preliminary information sooner, while the Power Plug Electric team receives more complete and structured project details before scheduling an on-site visit. This reduces unnecessary travel, improves communication, and allows the company to review more incoming opportunities without sacrificing personal service.

Custom model-agnostic AI agent service, stronger backend architecture, and reliable cloud infrastructure. Mainix helped us modernize our estimation workflow by building a dedicated AI service that collects customer input, asks relevant follow-up questions, and generates preliminary project estimates. They also improved our backend architecture and created a scalable cloud foundation for future growth. The team was professional, responsive, and easy to work with from start to finish.
