Our Story
How Our Electrical Estimators Help White Plains Contractors Win More Bids
White Plains is Westchester's county seat and downtown hub, where former malls and office blocks are becoming apartment towers and mixed-use projects. For electrical contractors, low-voltage subcontractors, and general contractors, that makes accurate electrical quantities on downtown residential towers and mall conversions and similar projects essential to winning work at a profit.
Electrical scope in White Plains 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. The area's winters affect electrical scope: heat trace on piping and roof drains, unit heaters in vestibules and warehouses, snow-melt systems, and temporary heat during winter construction.
Projects in White Plains are permitted under the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, so we follow the code-driven notes on your drawings (NEC-driven receptacle spacing, AFCI/GFCI protection, emergency lighting, and EV-ready circuits) and carry them into the takeoff. Our team uses ConEst, McCormick, Bluebeam Revu, and PlanSwift to measure and organize every electrical quantity.
With a 98% bid-hit ratio across more than 5,000 U.S. projects, Remote Estimation gives White Plains contractors professional electrical estimating capacity without the cost of an in-house department, and we work the same way for firms in nearby Harrison and Scarsdale. Labor assumptions for the electrical scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. Prevailing wage rates for public work in New York State come from the Department of Labor, organized by county and trade.
