FAQ
What do I need to send you to get started?
Send your drawings (PDF or CAD), specifications, and any addenda. If you have a scope of work, bid deadline, or specific exclusions, include those too. The more complete the plans, the more accurate the takeoff and estimate.
What does your estimate include?
You receive an organized Excel file with itemized material quantities, unit pricing, labor hours, overhead, and clearly stated assumptions and exclusions. It is formatted so you can drop it straight into your bid.
Which systems do you cover?
I cover electrical (lighting, power, panels, feeders, conduit, wire), FDAS/fire alarm, and low voltage systems such as data, CCTV, access control, security, and audio-visual. I can handle commercial, industrial, and residential projects.
How fast can you deliver?
Turnaround depends on the size and complexity of the drawings. Small projects are typically ready in 1 to 3 days, and larger projects take longer. For tight bid deadlines, message me before ordering and I will confirm what is possible.
Do you offer revisions if the plans change?
Yes. If addenda or drawing revisions come in, I can update the takeoff and estimate. Minor corrections are included, and major scope changes can be handled with a custom offer or gig extra.
Do you work with plans from outside the USA?
Yes. I can format takeoffs and estimates to the standard your market expects, including CSI MasterFormat (USA), NRM3 and SMM7 (UK), and POMI (Australia). Let me know your region and preferred format when you place your order.
