Case Study: William Farrell LTD achieves rock‑solid, 99%‑accurate electrical bids faster with Countfire

How William Farrell uses Countfire for rock-solid electrical bids

William Farrell LTD is an engineering solutions contractor working across commercial, industrial, medical and educational sectors. With Michael Moran as the sole electrical estimator, the company faced the challenge of producing fast, highly accurate takeoffs and bids from large, frequently revised drawing sets, so they adopted Countfire’s automated counting software to speed up and improve their estimating process.

Countfire automated symbol recognition and recounting across revisions, enabling Michael to process 120 drawings with over 20,000 symbols in 8 hours (a job he says would take about two weeks manually) and achieve around 99% accuracy in takeoffs. Countfire’s solution sped tender preparation, improved change‑order turnaround, helped William Farrell LTD meet deadlines and win work more reliably, and quickly paid for itself through time savings and reduced risk of under‑priced bids.
