Electrify Your Construction Budgeting: Expert Electrical Estimating & takeoff Services
Are you having trouble keeping up with electrical bids because you’re too busy or short on time?
At Prime Estimation, we offer electrical estimating services to help you stay ahead. Our team of expert electrical estimators provides clear and accurate numbers, so you can bid with confidence. Whether you need electrical takeoff services, electrical cost estimating, or full electrical estimator services, we’ve got you covered.
Many contractors lose jobs just because their estimates are late or inaccurate. In fact, research shows that 30% of bids are lost due to poor estimating. Since electrical work can take up 10–15% of a project’s total cost, even a small mistake can cost you money or the entire job. And if you don’t have a full-time estimator, it’s easy to get overwhelmed.
Our skilled electrical estimators provide dependable and accurate services to help you plan and bid better. Here’s what we offer:
We work with a wide range of clients across the construction industry. Whether you’re working on a small project or a large build, our services are designed to support your needs.
Here are some of the clients we serve:

Client: A national property developer upgrading a 15-storey downtown office building
Project Scope: Electrical systems estimating for a full architectural and MEP fit-out including lighting, power distribution, low-voltage systems (data/voice), fire alarm, and standby generator connections (approx. 300,000 ft²)
Challenge:
The developer had competing bids from electrical contractors spanning a wide cost range (some 20-30% above budget) and lacked an independent benchmark estimate.
The project’s electrical scope was complex: open-plan offices, high-density data racks, flexible power pods, and integration with building automation.
The in-house team had limited capacity for detailed take-off and cost-benchmarking, which left them exposed to cost-overruns and subcontractor change orders.
Solution by Prime Estimation:
Conducted full electrical drawings review: lighting layout, power riser diagrams, data/voice cabling schematics, fire alarm risers, generator interconnects.
Carried out a detailed material & labour take-off: quantified fixtures, cable lengths, conduit runs, panelboards, data racks, fire alarm devices, generator connection scopes.
Built line-item cost estimate referencing current US market rates for labour, equipment, materials (lighting fixtures, LED controls, copper cabling, etc).
Developed a cost-benchmark summary per square foot and per device type, enabling the client to critically assess subcontractor bids.
Result:
The client accepted our independent estimate as the “bid-go/no-go” baseline. They awarded the contract at 13% below the median of the original subcontractor bids.
During construction, electrical contract cost remained within +4% of our estimate, proving the accuracy of the take-off.
Our benchmarking enabled sharper negotiations with subcontractors, reduced change-orders by identifying custom items early (e.g., high-density data pods, generator provision).
The client’s procurement timeline was faster: by using our estimate early, they launched bidding 2 weeks earlier than planned and gained a competitive lead in occupancy timing.
Client Testimonial:
“Prime Estimation’s estimate gave us confidence in the numbers and allowed us to push the electrical scope through without nasty surprises.” — Director of Pre-Construction, Major Developer
Client: A logistics company expanding a 120,000 m² automated distribution centre in the US Midwest
Project Scope: Electrical estimating for new high-voltage service (13.8 kV to building main switchgear), internal distribution (bus duct, power panels), lighting system (LED high bays), automated conveyor power, data network and fire alarm system.
Challenge:
The project involved challenging electrical elements: high-voltage service, bus-duct runs across large clear-span warehouse, heavy-duty conveyor equipment, and fast procurement timelines.
The internal team lacked detailed cost benchmarking for bus-duct systems and high-voltage service in their region and were unsure whether vendor bids were within market norms.
Delays or cost overruns in electrical systems could cause ripple effects in conveyor installation and overall commissioning of the facility.
Solution by Prime Estimation:
Reviewed single-line diagrams, vendor data for service transformer & switchgear, bus-duct layout drawings, conveyor power schematics, lighting/layout drawings, data backbone plans.
Conducted detailed itemised estimate: transformer and switchgear cost, bus-duct metre counts, conduit & cable take-off, lighting fixtures & controls, data backbone cabling, fire alarm devices. Labour hours were estimated using regional labour-rate data for which we maintain a benchmark database.
Prepared sensitivity analysis: e.g., what happens if bus-duct run length increases 10 %, or if lighting fixtures specification shifts to higher lumens/controls. Provided client with “what-if” cost envelopes.
Delivered summary report to client’s procurement & project controls teams, showing major cost-driving items, recommended alternate options (e.g., modular bus-duct vs standard, LED spec optimisation) and risk register for electrical scope.
Result:
The independent estimate came in 7% lower than the average of three initial vendor bids, giving the client strong negotiation leverage.
During procurement, the client used our “what-if” analysis and selected a bus-duct option that saved approximately USD 250,000 compared to original vendor plan.
The overall electrical cost finished within +2% of our estimate, and the electrical scope did not cause commissioning delays — the conveyor system start-up proceeded on schedule.
The client reported improved transparency in bidding: suppliers responded more confidently knowing the client had a clear independent estimate and understood the major cost drivers.
Client Testimonial:
“Prime Estimation’s detailed take-off, benchmarking and risk-analysis gave us control of the electrical scope when we needed it most. We stayed within budget and schedule.” — VP of Projects, Logistics Company
