Our Story
Electrical Takeoff & Estimating Built for Fort Lee Contractors
Fort Lee's Palisades setting at the George Washington Bridge supports Bergen County's tallest residential towers, with rock excavation and high-rise logistics in most bids. That's the market we estimate for every day, building electrical takeoffs for projects from high-rise residential towers to commercial redevelopment along Main Street.
Electrical scope in Fort Lee towers is mostly vertical: bus duct risers, electrical closets stacked floor by floor, emergency power distribution, and fire alarm systems required for high-rise occupancy. We take off each riser and closet so feeder lengths and equipment counts match the drawings. Electrical estimates in the area have to include heating loads, from heat trace and freeze-protection circuits to electric unit heaters and snow-melt controls.
Code requirements change quantities, so our electrical estimators review every Fort Lee drawing set against the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC) electrical subcode, which adopts the National Electrical Code, paying attention to NEC-driven receptacle spacing, AFCI/GFCI protection, emergency lighting, and EV-ready circuits. The takeoff is built in ConEst, McCormick, Bluebeam Revu, and PlanSwift and delivered as an Excel workbook with color-coded, marked-up plans.
Remote Estimation has prepared estimates on more than 5,000 projects for 500+ contractors, and that experience goes into every Fort Lee electrical bid we touch. Labor assumptions for the electrical scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. In New Jersey, NJDOL publishes the prevailing wage rates used on public works and many publicly assisted redevelopment jobs. Share your plans and scope, and we'll send a fixed quote within an hour.
