Electrical Estimating Services in Georgia
Electrical estimates for Georgia electrical contractors and GCs — service and distribution, feeders, branch circuits, devices, lighting and controls, with conduit and wire quantities and labor units.
How is an electrical estimate prepared?
An electrical estimate counts devices (receptacles, switches), light fixtures and equipment connections; measures conduit and wire by size for feeders and branch circuits; lists switchgear, panels and transformers; and applies labor units per item. Temporary power, permits, testing and fire alarm (if in scope) are added.
Overview
Devices, Fixtures, Conduit and Wire — Counted and Priced
Electrical scopes are detail-heavy and copper prices change quickly. We count every device and fixture, measure conduit and wire runs, and apply labor units so you can bid with confidence.

Common Electrical Estimating Mistakes — and How We Avoid Them
Most lost margin in Electrical work comes from a handful of repeat mistakes. Our checklist-based takeoff and senior QA review are designed to catch them before your bid goes out:
- Counting devices but missing homeruns and feeders
- Forgetting equipment connections for HVAC and kitchen gear
- Ignoring long lead times and escalation on switchgear
- Leaving out temporary power and site lighting
- Underestimating labor on high ceilings
What to send for this estimate: electrical plans, panel schedules, one-line diagram, lighting schedule and specifications, plus addenda, the project address and your bid due date. If you want pricing with your own labor rates or supplier quotes, include those too — we’ll build them into the estimate. Send files through Contact Us.
