Our Commercial Electrical Estimating Process
We follow a rigorous three-stage estimating methodology:
- Plan & Specification Forensic Review: We review architectural, structural, and MEP drawing sets, specifications, panel schedules, and addenda to ensure zero missed scope.
- Digital Material Quantification: Estimators measure linear feet of conduit, conductor footage, device counts, and fixture schedules using Trimble Accubid, PlanSwift, and Bluebeam Revu.
- Zip-Code Pricing & Package Assembly: We apply localized labor rates and current distributor material prices, compiling a complete unlocked Excel estimate and marked-up PDF drawings.
