Residential Electrical Estimating

We provide electrical estimates for residential projects for home builders, electrical contractors and renovators. Whether it’s new home construction, multi-family units or luxury smart homes we calculate costs for lighting layouts, outlet placements and custom wiring plans. We also cover home automation, security systems and panel upgrades.

Our commercial electrical estimating services cover office buildings, retail stores, hotels, restaurants and mixed use developments. We break down costs for interior and exterior lighting systems, power distribution networks, fire alarms and exit lighting. We also estimate costs for energy efficient upgrades like solar panels, EV charging stations and smart energy management systems.

For factories, warehouses, manufacturing plants and data centers we provide cost estimates for complex electrical infrastructures. This includes high voltage installations, transformers, motor control centers (MCC), switchgear systems. We also factor in costs for substations, hazardous area electrical setups and renewable energy integrations.

We were drowning in bid deadlines for a Las Vegas casino retrofit. Daniel’s team delivered a full electrical takeoff in 10 hours, including arc flash studies we hadn’t even considered. Won the bid by 7% and avoided $15K in penalties for missing NEC codes.

As a solar contractor in California, I need takeoffs that align with Title 24 and CEC requirements. Their team optimized our PV panel layouts and conduit runs, cutting labor hours by 20%. Now our go-to for utility-scale projects.

Jamal Carter

Electrical Engineer, Chicago, IL

Their takeoff and estimate for a Chicago high-rise flagged an undersized feeder cable in our plans. Revised it early and saved us a $50K change order. Their BIM clash detection is a game-changer for tight urban sites.

Their 24/7 support saved our NYC luxury condo bid. We uploaded plans at midnight, and by 6 AM, they’d adjusted for union labor rates and NYC energy code updates. Client signed the contract that afternoon.
