Why Our Electrical Service & Panel Takeoffs Hold Up

Electrical distribution systems are documented across multiple drawing types, including one-line diagrams, panel schedules, electrical plans, equipment schedules, and specifications.
We coordinate these documents to identify service equipment, panelboards, transformers, disconnects, feeders, and related components and verify quantities against the documented electrical distribution system.

Coordination Across the Electrical Distribution System

Service equipment connects directly to utility service, transformers, feeders, panels, generators, mechanical equipment, and grounding systems.
We review one-line diagrams and equipment schedules alongside floor plans to identify equipment locations, feeder requirements, disconnects, and other documented components.

Electrical Panel Takeoff

Panelboards can be quantified by panel designation, size, voltage, phase, breaker configuration, location, and documented specifications.
Panel schedules can be coordinated with electrical plans and one-line diagrams to identify the complete distribution arrangement.

Switchgear & Switchboard Estimating

Commercial and industrial projects may use larger switchboards or switchgear assemblies with multiple sections, breakers, metering, and distribution components.
These systems can be separated according to the documented equipment schedule and one-line diagram.

Transformer Takeoff

Transformers can be quantified by type, capacity, voltage, phase, location, and documented accessories.
Associated primary and secondary connections can be coordinated with the electrical distribution documentation.

Feeder & Service Connection Coordination

Feeders connect service equipment, transformers, switchboards, panels, and major equipment.
Where routing information is available, feeder conductors and associated raceways can be quantified alongside the equipment takeoff.
