Electrical Takeoffs and Estimating
Electrical construction involves hundreds of individual components, from power distribution and lighting to low-voltage systems, controls, communications, and specialized equipment. Missing even a small portion of the Electrical scope can affect the accuracy and competitiveness of a bid.
A Detailed Approach to Electrical Estimating
Electrical estimating requires careful attention to drawings and specifications as well as an understanding of how different electrical systems interact within a building.
Our estimating process is designed to identify the relevant electrical components and organize them into clear takeoff categories. Depending on the project, these may include power, lighting, distribution, wiring devices, equipment connections, communications, controls, and low-voltage systems.
The result is a structured estimate that can help contractors evaluate project costs and prepare their bids more efficiently.
Painting Estimating & Takeoff Services
Electrical material procurement and installation require a clear understanding of the project scope. An incomplete takeoff can result in missed materials, inaccurate labor allowances, or unexpected costs during construction.
At Pyramid Arch Cost Solutions, we organize electrical quantities into clear categories so contractors can review the scope more efficiently.
Where appropriate project pricing information is available, the estimate can incorporate material, labor, equipment, and other applicable costs. Location-specific pricing can also be considered when suitable pricing data or supplier information is provided.

Electrical Takeoffs
Industrial Electrical Systems
Depending on the project documents, our estimating scope may include:
❖ Instrumentation & Control Systems
Quantities for instrumentation devices, control components, wiring, panels, and associated electrical systems can be developed according to the project requirements.
❖ Power, Temperature & Lighting Systems
Power distribution, lighting, temperature-related electrical components, and associated equipment can be incorporated into the estimate.
❖ Robotics & Assembly Systems
Electrical requirements associated with automated production and assembly equipment can be quantified when included in the project scope.
We organize painting quantities and associated costs into practical estimating formats. Depending on the project requirements, the estimate may separate materials, labor, quantities, unit costs, and extended costs.
❖ Conveyors and Material Handling
Electrical components for conveyors, mixers, and related material-handling equipment can be included.
❖ Industrial Automation
Automation systems and associated electrical components can be quantified from the drawings and specifications.
❖ PLC Systems
Programmable logic controller systems, panels, wiring, and associated components can be estimated where specified.
❖ Hazard Monitoring Systems
Electrical quantities associated with monitoring and safety systems can be incorporated into the takeoff.
❖ Power Distribution
Distribution equipment, feeders, panels, switchgear, conductors, and related components can be quantified.
