ELECTRICAL ESTIMATING EXPERTISE
Eliminate Bidding Errors With Exact Electrical Device & Wiring Quantities.
Bidding commercial electrical systems, multi-family power distributions, or industrial facilities requires exact plan interpretation. Missing homeruns, miscalculating conduit runs through drop ceilings or slab pours, overlooking specialized switchgear gear specs, or failing to cross-reference fixture schedule types can result in costly missing line items and eroded project margins. Archixen delivers fast, reliable, and highly detailed electrical quantity takeoffs directly from your MEP drawings.
Our electrical estimating team utilizes industry-leading digital software (PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and On-Center On-Screen Takeoff) to count every lighting fixture type, receptacle, switch, junction box, and panelboard. We trace branch circuiting, feeder runs, ground wiring, and conduit paths (EMT, PVC, Rigid, MC Cable) while factoring in vertical drops, wall heights, and fitting allowances.
Delivered entirely online in organized, fully editable Excel spreadsheets with color-coded Bluebeam plan markups, our takeoffs allow electrical contractors, supply houses, and estimators to apply custom labor assembly rates and material pricing instantly. Submit more electrical bids with complete confidence in your numbers.
