About this Gig
Amara Payton | Expert Quantity Surveyor & Electrical Estimator
As a Quantity Surveyor with over 6+years of hands on experience, I specialize in the meticulous management of construction and engineering costs to ensure projects are completed on time, within budget, and in full compliance with all relevant standards.

FAQ
Which US states do you cover for electrical estimation?
I provide services for all 50 states, with specialized knowledge of the high-regulation markets in California (Title 24 compliance) and the rapidly growing industrial sectors in Texas. I adjust all labor rates and material costs based on the specific ZIP code of your project.
What documents do I need to provide to get started?
To ensure the highest accuracy, please provide your Electrical Floor Plans (Power & Lighting), One-Line Diagrams, and the Scope of Work (SOW) or Project Specifications. If you have a preferred BOQ template, feel free to share that as well.
Do your estimates follow the National Electrical Code (NEC)?
Absolutely. My 6 years of experience as a Quantity Surveyor ensures that every take-off and estimate is grounded in NEC standards and local building codes to ensure your bid is both compliant and competitive.
What software do you use for take-offs and BOQs?
I am proficient in industry-standard tools such as Planwift, Bluebeam, and MS Excel. This allows me to provide digital markups and detailed spreadsheets that are easy for your team to review and integrate.
Can you handle commercial and industrial projects, or just residential?
I specialize in the full spectrum. Whether it’s a high end residential build, a multi-family complex, or a large-scale industrial facility, I have the technical expertise to manage the complexities of any electrical system.
How do you handle price fluctuations in electrical materials?
I use real time market data to account for the volatility in copper and conduit pricing. My estimates include a "Market Volatility" assessment to protect your margins from sudden price hikes during the procurement phase.
