For General Contractors, Electrical Contractors & Subcontractors
From Midtown Manhattan to Manhattan, electrical bids in New York City are won on accurate quantities. Our electrical estimating services in New York City give electrical contractors, low-voltage subcontractors, and general contractors a complete, itemized takeoff and estimate built from your plans and specifications, so you can bid with confidence and protect your margin.
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.
A New York City electrical takeoff from our team lists emergency and exit lighting, 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, and panelboards and transformers. High-rise takeoffs include riser feeders, stacked electrical rooms, and life-safety branch circuits. Elevated equipment and corrosion-resistant enclosures and fittings are identified separately. Quantities are grouped the way your electrical crews install the work, which makes pricing labor as easy as pricing material.

New York City projects carry costs that don't exist elsewhere, including hoisting, sidewalk sheds, DOB filings, union labor rates, and Local Law 97 compliance, so national averages don't work for pricing here. We prepare electrical estimates for that full range of work, from transit and airport modernization to smaller jobs in Midtown Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn.
For New York City high-rises we measure feeder runs by riser, count panels and transformers floor by floor, and separate life-safety, emergency, and normal power. Near the water in the area, switchgear placement, raised meter centers, and corrosion-rated fittings all affect cost, and our estimators list them separately.
Under the NYC Electrical Code, small details add up: NEC-driven receptacle spacing, AFCI/GFCI protection, emergency lighting, and EV-ready circuits. We catch them during the electrical takeoff instead of after the award. We also flag New York City-specific costs, including DOB NOW filing requirements, sidewalk sheds, and Local Law 97 energy upgrades where they appear in the scope. Measurements are done in ConEst, McCormick, Bluebeam Revu, and PlanSwift and summarized in Excel for your bid.
Remote Estimation has prepared estimates on more than 5,000 projects for 500+ contractors, and that experience goes into every New York City electrical bid we touch. We can price electrical labor at union, prevailing-wage, or open-shop rates. Union crews and Comptroller prevailing wage rates shape most New York City budgets, so the labor basis matters as much as the quantities. Request a quote today, and your first estimate comes with 10% off.
Our New York City electrical estimators work across all five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Citywide rules (the NYC Construction Codes, DOB NOW filings, Local Law 97, and union labor) apply everywhere, and each borough adds its own building stock, from Manhattan towers to Staten Island one- and two-family homes. For borough-specific detail, see our Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island pages.
Yes. New York City is one of our core electrical markets. Our electrical estimators handle residential, commercial, and industrial projects here and in all five boroughs, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, with a 24 to 72 hour turnaround.
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. Where New York City drawings call for elevated electrical equipment, corrosion-resistant enclosures, or stainless and PVC-coated materials, we list them separately so you can price the premium accurately.
A current PDF plan set and the project specifications are enough to start. Add any addenda and your scope notes, send them to info@remoteestimation.us, and we'll reply with a fixed quote, usually within an hour.
