Electrical Systems Estimating
Complete NEC-compliant cost estimates for every electrical system. We cover service entrance, switchgear, lighting controls, low voltage, and EV charging.
What's Included
- Main service entrance, utility coordination, and switchgear
- Power distribution, panels, transformers, bus duct, feeders
- Branch circuit wiring and devices
- Lighting fixtures, controls, and dimming systems (DALI, 0-10V)
- Low voltage: structured cabling, telecom, AV, access control, CCTV
- Emergency power, diesel generators, UPS, automatic transfer switches
- EV charging station infrastructure (Level 2 and DC fast charge)
- Grounding and lightning protection systems
- Arc flash hazard analysis and NEC compliance
- Utility rebate and energy code documentation
Expert Estimating You Can Rely On
Electrical systems are among the most complex and cost-variable parts of a project. Accurate estimating takes deep knowledge of NEC code and regional labor rates. It also takes a handle on volatile copper and conduit pricing. Our certified estimators have won bids for offices, hospitals, data centers, plants, and schools. We use Accubid and ConEst to produce line-item estimates that hold up at bid time.
Everything You Need to Know
What's Included
Our electrical estimates cover the complete system. That runs from the main service entrance and switchgear to branch circuit wiring. We also price lighting controls, low-voltage infrastructure, generators, UPS systems, and EV charging. Grounding, lightning protection, and arc flash and NEC documentation are included. Utility rebate and energy code paperwork comes with it, so you can pursue incentives. Structured cabling and access control are priced as carefully as power distribution.
Who It's For
Electrical contractors, general contractors, and property owners rely on our estimates. They bid commercial, industrial, healthcare, and institutional projects. We support every stage, from early design-phase budgets to bid-day takeoffs. Copper volatility and labor shortages make accuracy critical to margin. Owners also use it to check pricing before hiring a design-build electrical contractor.
How the Process Works
You send single-line diagrams, panel schedules, and specifications. Our estimators run a complete digital takeoff of conduit, wire, panels, gear, and devices. We use Accubid and ConEst, then apply current regional material and labor rates. We cross-check quantities against the panel schedule for accuracy. You get a CSI-organized, line-item estimate within 48 hours. It is broken down by system type, so your team can review or submit with confidence.
Why Choose Tech MEP Estimates
Our team includes Certified Electrical Technicians who update pricing weekly. That keeps copper, conduit, and gear costs current, not stale. We handle low voltage, controls, and life safety with the same rigor as power distribution. We provide rapid change order pricing, so your team never loses margin waiting on numbers. And we deliver within 48 hours without sacrificing NEC accuracy or code compliance.
Common Project Types We Handle
We estimate electrical systems for data centers, hospitals, and manufacturing plants. We also cover K-12 schools, corporate offices, and multifamily housing. Our team prices a simple lighting retrofit or a full power distribution system with backup and EV charging. We handle integrated building controls with the same care. We also support utility-scale service upgrades and campus-wide switchgear replacements for institutional owners.
