Why Our Electrical Estimates Hold Up

Electrical systems include far more than fixtures and wiring. Conduit, conductors, panels, transformers, switchgear, devices, grounding, distribution equipment, communications, and other components all contribute to the final electrical cost.

We review the available electrical drawings, schedules, specifications, and project requirements to develop quantities and pricing around the documented scope.
