Thirty years in the field. Thousands of estimates. You send the drawings and the bid date. I send a bid-ready Excel takeoff a superintendent can use — not a $40 count from a gig site.
Devices, gear, feeders, conduit, and wire. Line items a buyer can price.
Hours tied to the drawings — not a made-up productivity factor.
What is in. What is out. So bid day is not a surprise.
Included if the set changes before bid day.
When the set is odd or the scope is still moving.
Small electrical package. Limited drawings. One trade.
Standard commercial or industrial electrical MTO. Sheet count sets the number.
Rush (about 48 hours): +25%. I quote my fee after I see the set — before any counting starts.
Whole-building takeoffs for forty dollars. Guessing missing scope. Cold calls. If you want the cheapest count on the internet, that is a different service.
Tell me the bid date and how many electrical sheets. I reply the same day with my fee to count the set, and how long it will take. That is not your bid price. Or call (580) 952-5844.
