For General Contractors, Electrical Contractors & Subcontractors
Contractors bidding work tied to Texas Medical Center expansions need numbers they can defend. Remote Estimation provides electrical estimating services in Houston, TX, turning your drawings into itemized electrical quantities and cost estimates for electrical contractors, low-voltage subcontractors, and general contractors, usually within 24 to 72 hours.
Contractors lose thousands of dollars every year to estimation errors, missed scope items, and wasted time. Here's exactly what we fix.
Our estimating team supports a wide variety of construction projects.
Our Electrical Estimating Services provide contractors with detailed quantity takeoffs and cost analysis prepared directly from project drawings and specifications. Every estimate is designed to improve bid accuracy, reduce risk, and support better project planning.
Detailed, itemized takeoff reports with quantities, costs and clear breakdown of flowing materials. Here's a preview of that.
Every report includes color-coded marked plans, itemized quantity sheets, and a full cost summary — delivered in Excel and PDF formats, ready to attach directly to your bid submission.
For Houston projects, we quantify fire alarm devices, low-voltage and data cabling, grounding and bonding, generators and transfer switches, site lighting, conduit and raceways, wire and cable, switchgear and switchboards, panelboards and transformers, and lighting fixtures and controls. Feeder lengths are measured to elevated equipment locations required by floodplain design. High-rise takeoffs include riser feeders, stacked electrical rooms, and life-safety branch circuits. Electrical quantities are organized in Excel by area and system, with waste factors and units clearly stated.

Houston has no zoning code, so commercial, industrial, and residential projects often go up side by side, and Gulf Coast humidity, expansive clay, and Harris County floodplain rules shape nearly every bid. For electrical contractors, low-voltage subcontractors, and general contractors, that makes accurate electrical quantities on Texas Medical Center expansions and similar projects essential to winning work at a profit.
Floodplain rules in Harris County often require raising service equipment, panels, and meter banks above design flood elevation. That changes feeder lengths and adds platforms, so we measure feeders to the elevated locations shown on the drawings. Electrical scope in Houston 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.
Code requirements change quantities, so our electrical estimators review every Houston drawing set against the City of Houston's amended construction codes, 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 Houston electrical bid we touch. Send your electrical drawings today for a fixed quote.
We support electrical contractors in Houston and all of Harris County, plus nearby communities such as The Woodlands, Katy, Sugar Land, Pearland, Spring, and Cypress. Within Houston, we see steady work in Downtown, Midtown, and the Heights. Since our team works remotely, you can upload drawings from the jobsite or the office and get a Houston electrical estimate without a site visit. For projects elsewhere, the rest of Texas is covered by the same team.
Yes. We prepare electrical takeoffs and estimates for electrical contractors, low-voltage subcontractors, and general contractors throughout Houston, from Downtown to Midtown, and in nearby The Woodlands and Katy. Typical work includes Texas Medical Center expansions and Port Houston logistics growth.
Flood-hazard design often relocates switchgear, meters, and panels above flood elevation, which lengthens feeders and adds supports. We measure from the actual equipment locations on your drawings.
Yes. We quantify service and distribution, bus duct and feeder risers, floor-by-floor panels and transformers, emergency generator distribution, and high-rise fire alarm systems for these towers, with life-safety branches listed separately.
Yes. We quantify standby generators, transfer switches, generator feeders, surge protection, and wind-rated exterior fixtures and anchorage wherever Houston drawings specify them.
