What Our Clients Say
FAQs
Do Your Electrical Estimates Include Conduit Fill and Voltage Drop Calculations?

Can You Provide Separate Electrical Estimates for Design-Build vs. Design-Bid-Build Projects?
Yes. We customize our electrical cost estimating to your project delivery method. For design-build, we offer preliminary conceptual estimates based on schematic drawings, while design-bid-build estimates are based on detailed CDs with full itemization.
Do You Estimate Labor Using Union or Non-Union Rates for Electrical Estimating?

How Do You Handle Change Orders in Electrical Projects?
