Estimating Electrical Construction


Like taking a class in how to estimate materials and labor for residential and commercial electrical construction.

This practical guide takes you through every step of making an accurate estimate, from essential preliminaries to submitting the final bid. Estimating Electrical Construction shows the codes to follow and the basics of estimating, labor units, the plan take-off, the bid summary and the necessary forms.


Estimating Electrical Construction also teaches:
  • The complete estimating process
  • The types of bids and elements of each
  • What to look for on the job walk
  • How to do a systematic take-of
  • How to deal with suppliers and use pricing sheets
  • How to modify labor units
  • Bidding mechanics
  • How to prepare and deal with submittals
  • Handling change orders and backcharges
  • When to use alternates to reduce your bid
  • Avoid the most common mistakes electrical estimators make
A section on cost data records explains why your own cost experience is the most reliable cost reference and how to keep these important documents.

Other sections on project scheduling, purchasing, preparing a coded labor breakdown, and good information sources complete this total course in how to estimate electrical construction.

A complete estimate for a 6,000 square foot commercial building is included.

You start with the scope of work, the materials and equipment to be used, installation requirements, and a complete set of plans for the electrical system.

Work sheets, pricing sheets, the bid summary sheet, telephoned quotations and the spreadsheets are all provided so you can compare your work with what an experienced professional electrical estimator would do.

Blank copies of all forms are included so you can make estimating forms for your own use.
