Our Distinctive Electrical Estimating Process

Every estimate begins with a careful review of your project plans and specifications. Drawings, layouts and requirements are studied in detail to make sure nothing gets overlooked. The next step is defining the project scope. This includes clarifying all inclusions and exclusions while shaping a bid strategy that fits the size and type of project.

Once the scope is set, digital takeoff software is used to measure every material, fixture and component directly from the drawings. This allows for precise counts and clear visual markups. For costing, RSMeans data, up to date supplier quotes or client preferred vendor pricing is applied. This ensures the final estimate reflects real market rates.

Labour is then calculated with realistic hours assigned to each activity, factoring in project complexity and team productivity. Finally, a complete estimated package is delivered within 8 – 24 hours. This includes detailed spreadsheets, colour coded drawings and summary ready for bid submission.

Low Voltage Electrical Estimating

Modern construction demands more than standard wiring, low voltage electrical systems have become essential in residential, commercial and industrial projects. From fire alarms and nurse call systems to security and surveillance, every component requires precise cost planning.

Detailed estimates also cover audio, video and intercom setups, structured cabling for networking, smart home and building automation, wireless communication systems, as well as landscape and speciality lighting. Accurate pricing in this sector gives contractors the edge to submit competitive bids, win more projects and keep profit margins secure.
