Electrical Estimating Services
An electrical takeoff lists equipment, lighting, devices and pathways by system. Reconcile fixture and panel schedules with plan tags and show raceway, conductors, controls and connection responsibilities separately.
A useful electrical takeoff connects plan tags to the fixture and panel schedules. We separate equipment, pathways, conductors, devices and controls so the bidder can apply current supplier pricing and crew assumptions by system.
Flag owner-furnished equipment and unshown routes.

Frequently asked questions
Can lighting supply be split from installation?
Yes. List supply responsibility and price field installation, whips and connection tasks separately where the bid form calls for it.
Can owner-furnished fixtures be isolated?
Yes. Separate the purchase price from receiving, mounting, wiring and testing, and confirm who supplies accessories before pricing.
