How Our 24-Hour Takeoff Service Works
Step 1: Upload Your Plans
Send your project drawings and specifications in PDF format to [email protected]. We accept full construction drawing sets, electrical MEP sheets, and spec manuals. The sooner you upload, the sooner we start.
Step 2: Receive a Quote in 15-30 Minutes
Our estimators review your drawings and scope, then send a firm flat-fee quote within 15 to 30 minutes. No hourly billing, no hidden fees. You know the cost before we begin.
Step 3: Digital Takeoff and Estimating
A specialized electrical estimator performs your takeoff using Trimble Accubid, PlanSwift, and Bluebeam Revu. We measure every conduit run, wire length, device count, fixture, and equipment item directly from your drawings.
Step 4: Delivery in 24 Hours
You receive your completed takeoff within 24 hours: editable Excel spreadsheet organized by CSI MasterFormat division, color-coded marked-up plans, PDF summary, and basis-of-estimate notes — ready for bid submission.
What Makes Our 24-Hour Service Different
Electrical Estimators, Not Generalists
Every 24-hour takeoff is handled by an electrical estimator who understands panel schedules, one-line diagrams, conduit fill calculations, and NEC load requirements. We do not use generalist takeoffs clerks.
Industry-Standard Software
We perform takeoffs using Trimble Accubid, PlanSwift, and Bluebeam Revu — the same tools used by top electrical contracting firms. Your deliverables integrate directly into your existing estimating workflow.
Zip-Code-Calibrated Pricing
Labor and material prices are calibrated to your project zip code using RSMeans data and regional electrical distributor pricing. Your estimate reflects true local costs, not national averages.
Free Scope Revisions
If addenda or drawing revisions occur before bid day, we update your takeoff at no additional charge within the scope of the original engagement.

When to Use 24-Hour Takeoff Services
Our 24-hour electrical takeoff service is designed for time-sensitive situations:
- Unexpected bid opportunities: An RFP landed on your desk with a tight deadline
- Estimator unavailable: Your in-house estimator is out sick, on vacation, or overloaded
- Bid volume spike: Multiple bids due the same week and your team cannot handle the volume
- Last-minute addenda: Drawing revisions issued close to bid day require a full re-takeoff
- Emergency project: A client needs an estimate for an urgent repair or replacement project
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What if my bid deadline is less than 24 hours? A: For bid deadlines within 12 hours, contact us immediately. We offer expedited same-day processing for urgent situations. Availability depends on project scope and current workload.
Q: Do you guarantee 24-hour delivery? A: Yes. When we commit to 24-hour delivery, we meet that deadline. If we cannot deliver within 24 hours based on your project scope, we will tell you upfront before you commit.
Q: Can I rush a portion of my takeoff? A: Yes. If you need specific systems (lighting only, power only, fire alarm only) ahead of the full estimate, we can deliver partial takeoffs on an accelerated timeline.
Q: What file formats do you accept? A: PDF is preferred for fastest processing. We also accept AutoCAD (DWG), Revit (RVT), and printed plans. Digital files enable faster takeoff and higher accuracy.
