Electrical Estimator Required – Australian Electrical Projects We are an electrical contracting company based in Sydney, NSW. We are looking for an experienced electrical estimator to assist with takeoffs and pricing from plans and specifications. Requirements include electrical quantities, labour allowances, materials, cable/conduit quantities, lighting, power, switchboards and low-voltage/security where applicable. Experience with Australian electrical construction projects is preferred. Work will initially be on a project-by-project basis, with the potential for ongoing work. I need a detailed pre-construction estimate for a commercial project that covers lighting installation, power distribution, plus CCTV, MATV and security provisions. You will work directly from the drawings and specifications I provide, translating every circuit, fixture, device and conduit run into a clear materials and labour take-off. The final package should let me see, at a glance, both unit and extended costs, broken down by system, with allowances for contingency and any quoted subcontractor numbers I supply. Please deliver: • An itemised spreadsheet (Excel or Google Sheets) showing quantity, unit price and total for each material and labour line. • A concise summary sheet highlighting overall budget, soft costs and mark-ups ready for client presentation. • Your annotated plan set or marked-up PDF (Bluebeam, PlanSwift, Accubid or similar) so I can verify each count. Accuracy to current NEC standards and local code is essential. If you have suggestions on value-engineering alternatives, include them as optional notes—those insights often win bids for us. Send over a brief message outlining your relevant commercial estimating experience and the software you prefer to use, and I’ll forward the drawings immediately.

Hi, I understand you need a complete commercial electrical pre-construction estimate from the drawings and specifications, covering lighting, power distribution, CCTV, MATV, and security provisions. I will count each fixture, device, circuit, and conduit run, then prepare a clear Excel or Google Sheets take-off with quantities, unit prices, labour, extended totals, contingency, soft costs, mark-ups, and supplied subcontractor quotes. I will also provide a concise budget summary and an annotated plan set or marked-up PDF so every count can be checked easily. My approach will follow current NEC requirements and applicable local codes, with value-engineering options shown separately where they can reduce cost without affecting performance. I can use Excel for the estimate and suitable take-off software such as Bluebeam, PlanSwift, or Accubid based on your preferred workflow. Could you confirm the project location, drawing revision, pricing date, and whether you want separate material, labour, and subcontractor mark-ups? Please share the drawings, specifications, project location, pricing basis, and any subcontractor quotations so I can begin accurately.

Hello, I have experience preparing detailed commercial electrical estimates covering lighting, power distribution, CCTV, MATV, security, conduit, devices, and associated labour. I am a good fit because I can translate drawings and specifications into a traceable take-off with clear quantities, labour, unit costs, allowances, and system-by-system totals. I prefer Bluebeam for quantity take-offs and Excel for the estimating workbook, with Accubid-style breakdowns where useful. I will mark up the plans, prepare the detailed materials/labour schedule, add contingency, mark-ups, and supplied subcontractor pricing, then create a concise client-facing summary sheet. I will also flag code-related scope gaps and include value-engineering alternatives as clearly separated optional notes. Thanks for reading my proposal. Edwin

The job asks for a pre-construction estimate for commercial electrical work, covering lighting, power, CCTV, MATV, and security. I will use the provided drawings and specifications to perform a detailed take-off, itemising all circuits, fixtures, devices, and conduit runs, so this translates into clear material and labour costs broken down by system. For the itemised spreadsheet, I will build this in Excel, naming every component and its quantity, also assigning unit prices for both materials and labour so you can see extended costs clearly. The summary sheet will then aggregate these figures, showing overall budget, soft costs, and mark-ups, ready for client presentation. I will also deliver annotated plans showing my take-off. The part that is hard is getting the conduit runs accurate, so I'll pay close attention to routing and derating for cable fill to avoid over or under-estimating labour. Also, for the MATV and security provisions, I will price based on industry-standard equipment and installation practices. My 5.0 rating across 10 reviews here, and Preferred Freelancer status, means I deliver accurate and timely work. What is the preferred method for submitting subcontractor quotes if they are not yet finalized? I will provide the detailed spreadsheet and the summary sheet, also the annotated plans, within the agreed timeframe.
