How can you improve the productivity of your commercial electrical design office ?
The productivity of the commercial electrical design office is a key issue in construction and renovation projects.
This department centralises all the technical data and has a direct impact on the success of the project.
However, despite its strategic role, it still suffers from a lack of appropriate tools.
In practice, many of them use generic software that is not interconnected and is poorly adapted to the specific needs of the business.
The result: wasted time, input errors, forgotten updates, incomplete and inconsistent deliverables.
Fortunately, a specialised alternative exists.
SchemBAT is an electrical CAD software package dedicated to buildings and the tertiary sector.
Designed to meet the specific needs of design offices, it considerably improves their productivity.
The design office : the centre of gravity of the electrical project
The tertiary sector electrical design office is involved at every stage of a project :
- Technical study of requirements
- Estimates and sizing
- Equipment layout
- Wiring design
- Creation of electrical diagrams
- Procurement planning
- Drafting documents for the site
- Preparing the acceptance file
Its mission: to transform technical and regulatory constraints into documents that can be used by the various departments in record time.
But when the design office works with generalist tools (AutoCADTM, ExcelTM, etc.), each stage becomes time-consuming, unreliable and difficult to keep up to date.
Non-connected tools = time wasted at every stage
With conventional software, information is duplicated and re-entered. A change has to be manually repeated in several documents.
This results in :
- High risk of errors
- Inconsistent documents
- Delays in updates
- Difficulty managing variants and last-minute changes
This slows down the productivity of the design office and reduces responsiveness to requests from the field or the customer.
SchemBAT : a specialised solution for building and commercial cabling studies
Designed for the practical needs of fluid engineering offices, it enables you to :
- Produce equipment layout plans
- Create routing and cabling
- Create single and multi-wire diagrams
- Produce control diagrams
- Interface with software for calculating cable cross-sections and protection
- Interface with software for calculating lighting
- Produce multi-make boxes and cabinets
- Generate parts lists, labels and site documents
- Update all deliverables at the click of a button, thanks to centralised data.
All data entered in SchemBAT is automatically re-used. No need to re-enter information. Documents remain consistent, from the beginning to the end of the project.
An intuitive interface for more effective research
SchemBAT‘s interface is designed for electricians, designers and engineers. It allows you to :
- Navigate easily between the various documents
- Monitor project progress in real time
- Customise libraries and models according to your own standards
Design offices gain greater flexibility and can concentrate on the essentials : designing reliable, optimised and compliant installations.
SchemBAT improves productivity at every stage of the project

SchemBAT transforms design office performance
With SchemBAT, design offices specialising in the electricity of buildings and the tertiary sector move to another level. They can concentrate on technical choices and added value, rather than numbering or quantities.
They reduce errors, automate repetitive tasks and produce quality documents faster.
They become more responsive, more reliable and more competitive.
