Overview

What Are Electrical Estimating Services?

Electrical estimating services require detailed counts and long measurements. Our estimators count every fixture, receptacle, switch and piece of equipment, then measure conduit and wire for feeders and branch circuits by size and type. Gear — switchboards, panels, transformers and disconnects — is priced from one-line diagrams and panel schedules.

We include lighting and controls, grounding, fire alarm, data and communications, security, generators and site lighting, and apply labor units based on installation conditions.

From residential subdivisions to data-heavy offices in Huntsville and industrial plants statewide, our electrical estimates help contractors bid with confidence.
