Low Voltage Estimating Services in Georgia
Low voltage estimates for Georgia integrators and electrical contractors — structured cabling, data, security, access control, CCTV, fire alarm, AV and nurse call systems.
What is included in a low voltage estimate?
A low voltage estimate counts devices (data outlets, cameras, card readers, speakers, fire alarm devices), measures cable runs, and includes racks, patch panels, pathways, head-end equipment, programming, testing and labor.
Overview

Common Low Voltage Estimating Mistakes — and How We Avoid Them
Most lost margin in Low Voltage 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 cable length and pathways
- Forgetting racks, patch panels and head-end equipment
- Leaving out programming, testing and certification
- Ignoring ERRCS or DAS requirements
- Underestimating labor in occupied buildings
What to send for this estimate: technology, security and fire alarm drawings, device schedules 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.
