Electrical Quantity Takeoffs
We count every conduit run, wire pull, device, and fixture from your plans, delivering itemized takeoffs your team can trust for accurate material ordering.
Why Electrical Contractors Choose BlueTech Estimating
Division 26 Specialists
Our electrical estimators work only on the electrical scope, so they read your drawings like a foreman would and catch what generalist takeoff services miss.
Margin-Protecting Accuracy
Every quantity is verified against live RSMeans data and regional labor rates, giving you bids that stay competitive without quietly eating into your profit.
Support That Scales
Whether you need a single estimate or overflow help during peak season, our team plugs into your workflow and keeps every bid strictly confidential.
What Our Electrical Estimating Services Cover
Commercial Electrical Estimating
From offices to retail buildouts, we price complete commercial electrical scope, covering branch wiring, panelboards, feeders, and lighting so your commercial bids stay competitive.
Residential Electrical Estimating
For single homes and multi-family builds, we estimate residential electrical work from service entrance to outlets, giving builders reliable numbers before the first permit.
Power Distribution Estimating
We estimate switchgear, transformers, feeders, and distribution panels with full precision, so power distribution scope on large facilities never becomes your biggest weak spot.
Lighting and Controls Estimating
We quantify LED fixtures, lighting controls, and dimming systems accurately, helping you capture every line item that many competitors often underprice or miss entirely.
Low Voltage Systems Estimating
Fire alarm, data cabling, and security systems are fully covered, so your low voltage estimates match the rest of your electrical bid without gaps.
Electrical Estimating Tools We Work With
- PlanSwift
- Bluebeam Revu
- RSMeans
Industries Our Electrical Estimators Serve
Electrical scope changes completely from one project type to the next. We estimate across the industries where accurate power, lighting, and low voltage takeoffs matter most.
Office Buildings
Offices, retail, and mixed-use projects demand competitive bids, so we estimate branch wiring, lighting, and panelboards with the accuracy commercial jobs need.
Hospitals
Hospitals and clinics carry heavy life-safety scope, so we separate normal power from emergency circuits and price every code-driven detail with precision.
Multi-Family Residential
Apartments and townhomes repeat scope across many units, so we estimate residential electrical work in a way that keeps large builds profitable.
Electrical Contractors
Whether you run a small crew or a large shop, we become your estimating desk so you can bid more jobs confidently.
General Contractors
When electrical scope sits inside a larger bid, we deliver clear takeoffs and pricing so your overall project numbers stay accurate throughout.
Design-Build Firms
From early concept to final bid, we provide budget estimates at each stage so your design decisions stay grounded in realistic costs.
Home Builders and Developers
For single homes and multi-family projects, we estimate residential electrical scope early, helping you protect budgets long before construction begins on site
MEP Engineering Firms
When your team needs independent electrical numbers, we deliver detailed takeoffs that support design validation and keep client budgets realistic and reliable.

What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Electrical estimating costs vary by project size, scope, and complexity, so there is no flat rate that fits every job. We price each estimate individually and send you a clear quote before any work begins, so you always know the cost upfront. Send us your plans, and you will have pricing the same day.
Most electrical estimates are delivered within 24 to 48 hours of receiving your plans. Larger or more complex jobs, such as industrial facilities or data centers, may take slightly longer, and we confirm the exact turnaround before we start. If you are facing a tight bid deadline, tell us, and we will prioritize your project.
Outsourced electrical estimating means your takeoffs and cost estimates are handled by an external team instead of an in-house estimator. You send us your drawings, we prepare the full estimate, and you receive bid-ready numbers without adding payroll or overhead. It is a flexible way to bid more jobs, especially during your busiest seasons.
Yes, we provide expert electrical estimating services across the entire USA. Our estimates reflect regional material and labor pricing, so your bids stay accurate whether you are working in Texas, California, or anywhere else in the country.
Yes, we cover commercial electrical estimating and residential electrical estimating, along with industrial work. Whether you are bidding an office buildout, a multi-family development, or a manufacturing plant, our estimators tailor each takeoff to that project type and its specific electrical scope.
We use industry-standard tools including PlanSwift and Bluebeam for on-screen takeoffs, and RSMeans for current cost data. These tools let us count conduit, wire, and devices accurately and keep every estimate traceable back to your original drawings.
Our electrical estimates are built from detailed, line-by-line takeoffs and verified against current pricing data, so they are accurate enough to bid on directly. Every estimate is double-checked before delivery to catch missed scope or pricing gaps that could quietly hurt your margin.
We offer both. You can order quantity takeoffs only if your team handles pricing internally, or a full cost estimate with material and labor breakdowns. Many contractors start with takeoffs and add full pricing once they see the level of detail we provide.
Yes, we estimate power distribution and large industrial projects, including switchgear, transformers, feeders, and motor control centers. These jobs carry heavy electrical scope, so our estimators focus on getting the high-value items right to protect your bid from costly surprises.
You can send plans as PDF or CAD files such as DWG and DWF, along with your specifications and bid documents. If you only have printed or scanned drawings, we can usually work from those too, so reach out, and we will confirm before you send everything.
