AI for Electricians: The Fastest Way to Get Answers from Blueprints

Electricians don’t lose time doing electrical work. They lose time finding information in blueprints, RFIs, specs, and project documents.
That’s the real problem AI for electricians needs to solve: getting the exact detail you need fast to keep the job moving.
Why Electricians Slow Down on Drawings
Brandon from Young Electrical Services lays out the issue clearly.
Even experienced electricians spend time reading, interpreting, and flipping through pages because blueprints function differently on site than they do in an office.Different pressures. Different conditions. Different workflow.
This creates a predictable slowdown in the field:
Searching for symbols or notes
Cross-referencing sheets
Checking specs and details
Waiting on callbacks for clarification
None of this is electrical work. It’s information retrieval.
What AI for Electricians Should Actually Do
Most AI in construction is overbuilt. Electricians don’t need automation, predictions, or “smart insights.” They need fast access to answers.
The correct use case for AI in electrical work is simple:
Ask a question → AI pulls the answer directly from your drawings and project docs → you keep building.
This removes the bottleneck that slows down field productivity without changing how electricians work.
Why SiteKick Fits This Use Case
We built SiteKick Boots On The Ground with electricians by sitting in site trailers, walking units, and watching how electricians actually navigate project information. Boots On The Ground showed us the real gap between engineer design and electrician execution.
SiteKick uses AI to close that gap. It gives electricians instant access to the details hidden inside blueprints, RFIs, specs, and schedules without flipping pages or waiting on anyone.
With SiteKick, AI isn’t replacing electricians. It’s removing the expedition to find info that wastes their time.
