Every estimate automatically applies the correct standard — no manual lookups required.
Every estimator knows the hours — sometimes days — spent counting air terminals, measuring conductor runs, and marking up plans by hand for a single bid. We're building the technology to take that off your plate.
Drop in the plan set and let Lightning Pro read the lightning protection take-off for you — counts, conductor lengths, and materials pulled from the PDF — instead of measuring every run by hand.
Further down the road, the goal is to turn that take-off into a finished lightning protection drawing automatically — going from a bare plan to a complete, code-aware layout in a fraction of the time.
These features are in active development and are not yet part of the current release. What you download today is the complete estimating, proposal, and invoicing platform shown above. The take-off tools will arrive in a future version — we'll announce them right here when they're ready.
Need your own proposal and invoice templates, your branding on every document, your materials and pricing built in, or the whole tool tailored to the way your company estimates? We build custom templates and tailor Lightning Pro to fit your exact workflow — just send us a request.
It comes built around Thompson Lightning Protection's materials — but if you buy from a different supplier, just send us your own materials and pricing list and we'll load it right into your copy. Reach out through the request below.
