NEDES Estimating prices electrical scopes for residential, commercial, and industrial projects, plus solar, plumbing, mechanical, and HVAC estimating, backed by a 95%+ bid win ratio. Estimates ship in 10-48 hours from plan submission. The team has completed 1,200+ electrical takeoffs, using Trimble, PlanSwift, and Bluebeam for every deliverable.
On Won Bids
NEDES Estimating covers electrical cost estimating end-to-end, from material quantities through final bid packaging. Eight service lines apply across residential, commercial, and industrial electrical scopes.
Every conduit run, conductor length, device, and fixture is quantified from plan sets, producing a line-item list ready for pricing and bid submission.
Labor hours are calculated by device count and system complexity, using regional wage data, so crew cost projections match actual field conditions.
Estimates are formatted into bid-ready packages (scope summary, pricing breakdown, and exclusions) matching the submission format contractors need for GC review.
Alternate materials, fixture types, or conduit routing are proposed where cost savings exist, without reducing code compliance or system performance.
Costs are tracked from initial estimate through change orders, giving contractors a running comparison between budgeted and actual electrical spend.
Early-stage projects without finished drawings receive a square-footage or system-count based budget number, useful for pre-construction planning and financing.
Mid-project scope changes are priced against the original estimate baseline, with a clear delta showing added material, labor, and margin impact.
Dedicated takeoffs and pricing are generated for specialized systems, ensuring the complex scopes are fully captured alongside standard power and lighting.
Ten client types across the electrical construction supply chain rely on NEDES Estimating for takeoffs, pricing, and bid support:
A takeoff sheet from NEDES Estimating itemizes every material category in the electrical scope, organized system by system for direct bid submission; 17 categories in total.
Unlike other construction estimating companies, we do not stop at typical electrical estimating. On the contrary, the team uses specialized estimating strategies to deal with individual types of electrical estimating services.
Single-family, multi-family, and remodel scopes are priced from service entry through finish devices, following NEC Article 210 branch circuit requirements throughout.
Office, retail, and mixed-use electrical scopes are estimated with life-safety and low voltage systems priced alongside standard power distribution, not as an afterthought.
Treatment plants, power generation, manufacturing, chemical/petrochemical, metals, and food and beverage facilities are estimated to NFPA 70E and NEC Article 500 hazardous-location standards where applicable.
Low voltage systems are priced standalone or bundled into a full electrical estimate, covering life-safety, security, and communications devices across 12 system types.
Every estimate is built against the code edition governing the project’s jurisdiction, so material counts and device spacing match what will actually pass inspection.
Client-prescribed or in-house estimating software is matched on request; no forced switch to our stack.
Every electrical estimate runs through an in-house cost database, the Location-Based Cost Index, cross-checked against RSMeans line items before delivery. Pricing configurations cover Commercial, Residential, and Industrial project types, each with distinct labor unit rates.
Unit prices update quarterly, reflecting current material and labor cost shifts rather than a stale annual baseline.
Estimates integrate with PlanHub, BlueBook, Building Connected, Sage Estimating, and Procore, dropping directly into whichever bid workflow the client already runs. NEDES Estimating delivers the estimate, and the client controls submission with the following sub-services.
Eliminate manual data entry with line-item estimates formatted for instant import into Procore, Sage Estimating, and other primary management platforms.
Pre-structured, trade-specific bid packages designed for rapid upload to PlanHub, BlueBook, and Building Connected.
NEDES Estimating prepares the complete, white-labeled bid package while your team retains absolute control over final markups, adjustments, and the official submission.
Complete alignment of all takeoff quantities and labor hours with your internal accounting codes or standard CSI MasterFormat divisions for a clean handoff to project managers.
Continuous estimate updates adjusting for late-stage drawing revisions, architect notes, and active RFIs prior to the final bid date.
Side-by-side analytical comparisons of incoming sub-quotes to identify scope gaps, prevent overlapping costs, and ensure apples-to-apples bidding.
Structuring the final approved estimate so it translates directly into a workable schedule of values for field management and progress billing.
Strategic material substitutions and alternative labor methodologies documented alongside the base bid to give you a competitive edge during negotiations.
Three steps separate plan upload from a finished, bid-ready electrical estimate. No account setup and no back-and-forth calls are required to get started.
Submit plan sets in PDF, DWG, or RVT format through the online upload portal.
Receive a scope-confirmed price for the estimate within one business hour of submission.
Receive a completed, itemized electrical estimate within 10-48 hours of order confirmation.
Six factors separate NEDES Estimating from single-trade electrical estimating firms, starting with breadth of service and ending with how fast the phone gets answered.
Electrical, solar, plumbing, mechanical, and HVAC estimating under one contract — no coordination between separate vendors.
Estimates are priced to win, not just to quote — reflected in a bid win ratio above 93% across submitted electrical bids.
Standard electrical takeoffs return within two business days — bid deadlines never become the limiting factor.
Every takeoff built against current NEC, NFPA 70E, and local amendments — not a generic national template.
Business hours and a direct line listed on every page — reaching an estimator doesn’t require a contact form.
Material and labor pricing reflects the project’s actual location — not a flat national average that misses regional swings.
Case Study 01
Mid-size electrical contractor in Texas needed a full electrical takeoff for a 40-unit multi-family building with a bid deadline of 7.
NEDES Estimating delivered a complete itemized electrical estimate including panels, branch wiring and low-voltage rough-in within 36 hours of plan submission, using Planswift and Bluebeam.
The client submitted on time and won the project at $178,000 and 15% margin with estimate accuracy of 98% against final material cost.
Case Study 02
A commercial GC in NYC needed an electrical estimate for a 15,000 sq ft office build-out with life-safety systems included, on a 4-day turnaround.
NEDES Estimating priced power distribution, emergency lighting, and fire alarm rough-in as a single package, delivered within 17 hours and cross-checked against NFPA, NEC and IBC codes.
The estimate held within 97% of actual construction cost, and the client has since submitted 4 additional projects through NEDES Estimating.
