Cost Estimating Systems for Electrical Contractors

Electrical estimating software is designed specifically for the requirements of an electrical contractor's business. For example, leading systems offer pre-built electrical assemblies, up-to-date materials pricing (e.g. copper) and dynamic labor rates based on the degree of difficulty associated with project tasks. In addition to traditional electrical estimating, some vendors have built specific capabilities for low-voltage estimating, teledata cabling or solar panel installation.

When selecting an electrical estimating system, contractors will need to consider the other functions they want to integrate. For example, many electrical contractors will want project management and time and materials billing in the same system. Others will choose to integrate their estimating system to an accounting and job costing system with strong service management to enable seamless processes across the company.
