Electrical Estimating

Electrical Estimates That Don’t Short You

Conduit, wire, devices, panels, and fixtures quantified from your plans with labor hours per line item, so your electrical bid is complete and competitive.

Scope

What We Measure

  • Conduit (LF) by type and size
  • Wire/cable (LF) by gauge
  • Boxes (count by type)
  • Devices (switches, receptacles, etc.)
  • Panels and breakers
  • Light fixtures (count by type)
  • Grounding
  • Cable tray
  • Low voltage and data
  • Fire alarm devices

Common Pitfalls

Why Electrical Estimates Fall Short

  • Not counting home runs separately
  • Missing devices on power plans
  • Underestimating conduit fill derating
  • Forgetting fixture support and whips
  • Overlooking temp power

Deliverable

What You Get

  • Material quantities by type/size
  • Labor hours per item
  • Device and fixture counts
  • Panel schedules
  • A summary for bidding

Do you estimate low voltage and data?

Yes. Low-voltage, data, and fire alarm devices are quantified alongside power and lighting when shown on the plans and specs.

Can you provide labor hours by trade?

Yes. We provide labor hours per line item using standard electrical labor units so you can apply your crew rates and see total labor by activity.

What about design-build electrical?

Yes. For design-build scope we work from a basis-of-design or narrative to quantify materials and labor, with assumptions documented for your review.
