I am faced with the dilemma of having to design electrical systems before I bid them as of late. A particular General Contractor habitually requests bids from my organization with obscure or no architectural drawings. I am spending entirely too much time in the office figuring feeder size, transformer size, load calculations, circuit design, one line diagrams and panel schedules. Every time I bid a job for this contractor, I end up having to supply the City with the needed drawings in order to obtain permits. This is the job of an engineer, but this contractor continually calls on me to perform this service and the City has allowed me to submit these drawings with out being a certified MEP. I am Ok with this, it just takes up so much of my time. I have an apprentice that I am trying to bring up in the business to replace me when I am gone or rooster out of this business. I would like to have some opinions on some of the Electrical Design Software out on the market before I commit to purchasing software that would also be a training tool for him also. I am looking for something that will do as much as possible i.e.. load calculations, wire sizing, power factor, panel schedules, load analysis and so on and so forth. Any Suggestions?
