NEW: UPLOADS, FROM BLUEPRINT TO PLAN OVERVIEW Included with BONBON Plus. Upload electrical blueprints as PDFs or photos and ask questions about your own plans. BONBON reads the plan set and builds a Plan Overview of the whole job: - Square footage and suggested main panel size - NEC 220 load calculation summary - Suggested subpanels and circuit counts - Counts of recessed lights, receptacles, smoke and combo detectors, sconces, and LED strips - A rough materials list to kick off your estimate Every number is labeled as counted from the plans or estimated, so you always know what to verify. Save the overview as a PDF, print it, or share it with your crew with a link. NEW: INSPECTION REPORTS FROM YOUR PHOTOS Also included with BONBON Plus. Upload photos of your rough-in or finished work and get an Inspection Report: an approval rating and findings checked against the NEC, so you can fix issues before the inspector shows up. Or just ask a question about the photo. INSTANT NEC ANSWERS Stop flipping through the code book. Ask any electrical question, like "What are the grounding requirements for a detached garage subpanel?" and get the exact NEC reference with a plain language explanation. SMART TROUBLESHOOTING Describe the problem and BONBON helps you diagnose issues, identify components, and find code-compliant fixes faster. With Plus, add a photo of the install. ELECTRICAL CALCULATORS Conduit fill, voltage drop, box fill, wire sizing, load calculations, conduit bending, motor circuits, grounding and bonding, solar, and more. PASS INSPECTIONS THE FIRST TIME Verify your work against the code before the inspector shows up. Fewer callbacks, fewer red tags. LEARN ON THE JOB BONBON does not just give you the answer, it explains the why behind the code, so every question makes you a better electrician.
