For electrical engineering shops
You made the call. Now stop typing it.
CAD entry, panel schedules, and RFI logging — Mission diagnoses the operating constraint before prescribing the build.
Your day
The layout takes five minutes. The drawing takes five hours.
You walk a floor plan and know where the lights, homeruns, and panels go — that’s the engineering. Then you place every symbol, draw every dashed circuit, tag every device, and number every slot by hand. The same clicks, every project.
- Engineering judgment
- Laying out the design, sizing feeders and panels, load calcs, NEC interpretation, coordinating with the architect, and the legal act of stamping — what your license is for.
- Production & admin tax
- Placing fixtures, drawing circuits, tagging devices, building panel schedules, re-drawing after each RCP change, plus proposals, fee letters, RFIs, and invoices — the same execution, every project.
What it costs
Your throughput is capped by your mouse, not your stamp.
The shop’s revenue is limited by how many drawing sets you can personally produce — not by how many jobs you can win or how fast you can engineer. Every hour clicking fixtures is an hour not designing the next one.
Revision churn means retyping the same design
Two to twenty hours of the same fixtures, circuits, tags, and circuit numbers get re-keyed into CAD or Revit for every job — and re-keyed again each time the architect revises the ceiling plan.
Engineering hours vanish into coordination
Directional industry estimate: inefficient project management can waste up to 159 hours of engineering time annually — almost a full month.
One RFI answer becomes unpaid engineering
Navigant put the cost of processing a single RFI near $1,080 across 1,362 projects — and RFI overruns routinely deliver thousands in uncompensated engineering on one fixed-fee job.
Directional patterns from the trade and from operator interviews — not Mission results. Your numbers get established in the assessment.
Where the constraint often shows up
It does the entry the same way your shop would.
You make and approve every engineering decision and apply the stamp. Mission’s agent does the repetitive entry, routing, and assembly around those decisions, then hands it back for your review.
- Drives the CAD/Revit entry from your stated layout
You mark up the design — type-A downlights on a 2×2 grid, receptacles every 12 ft, panel L1 — and the agent places the fixtures, circuits, tags, and circuit numbers as draft work for you to correct.
- Assembles and pre-balances the panel schedule
Compiles the schedule from the circuited model, classifies loads, and flags NEC-balance issues for you to resolve. The agent compiles; you approve.
- Drafts and logs RFI and submittal responses
Pulls the relevant detail, drafts the answer, logs it, and routes it — so you edit the engineering substance instead of doing 45–60 minutes of overhead.
- Generates proposals, fee letters, and invoices
Builds proposals from prior projects and your boilerplate, pre-culled to the new scope, and tracks time-to-budget so scope creep surfaces before it’s delivered for free.
The result
The stamp stays yours. The clicks go away.
When the repetitive entry runs on its own, the number of jobs you can take stops depending on how fast you can type — and starts depending on the engineering, which is what clients pay the premium for.
Every project ends with hours at the keyboard.
- A five-minute decision takes five hours to enter.
- The RCP changes and you re-draw a finished plan.
- You turn away work you have the expertise for.
A drafted set is waiting for your review.
- The placement, circuiting, and tagging arrive done.
- Panel schedules come pre-balanced with flags raised.
- Capacity follows your stamp, not your typing speed.
Safe by default
You review and stamp every set before it ships.
The agent does the entry; the engineering judgment and the stamp stay with you. Nothing leaves your shop without your review, and anything uncertain is flagged, not guessed.
- Connected
- Works inside the tools you already run on — email, calendars, sheets, your CRM, your portals.
- Approved
- Anything risky or off-mission is held for your sign-off before it touches data or goes out the door.
- On mission
- You set the assignment once. The work stays on it for days and weeks without drifting.
- Observable
- You always have a clear view of what ran, what changed, and what needs a call — no transcript spelunking.
