How It Works
1. Send Your Project Documents
Send the drawings, specifications, addenda, bid deadline, and the estimating service you need.
2. We Review the Project
We review the available documents, project scope, required deliverables, complexity, and schedule.
3. Receive a Written Proposal
You'll receive a written Service Proposal showing exactly what's included, the price, payment requirements, and expected completion date.
4. Estimating Begins
Once the proposal, payment, and required project information are received and the engagement is accepted, estimating begins.
5. Review Your Estimate
You receive the agreed estimating deliverables for your final contractor review and bidding decision.
Pricing
Every electrical project is unique, so fees are based on the services and deliverables requested. Pricing may vary depending on project size and complexity, document volume and completeness, available project information, bid requirements, and turnaround time.
After reviewing your project documents and requested scope of work, We will provide a written Service Proposal and schedule a meeting to confirm the services, deliverables, fee, payment terms, and expected completion date. You’ll know exactly what’s included and what it will cost before work begins.
Who We Help
Built for Construction Professionals Who Need Electrical Estimating Expertise Nationwide
Knecht Electrical Estimating is especially useful for:
Owner-operated electrical contractors
Get estimating support when managing field operations and completing estimates alone becomes too demanding.
Growing electrical contractors
Increase estimating capacity when bid opportunities grow faster than your internal team can reasonably handle them.
Contractors without a full-time estimator
Receive professional, project-based estimating support without immediately hiring another permanent employee.
Busy estimating departments
Add temporary estimating capacity when deadlines overlap, workloads increase, or multiple projects must be priced simultaneously.
General contractors and construction managers
Obtain independent electrical cost estimates, bid comparisons, scope-gap reviews, value-engineering support, and change-order analysis.
Independent estimating and preconstruction firms
Add specialized electrical estimating expertise to larger project estimates through project-based or white-label support.
Design professionals and owners’ representatives
Develop preliminary electrical budgets, evaluate design costs, review scope, and identify constructability or cost concerns.
Property owners and facility managers
Evaluate contractor pricing, budget proposed electrical work, compare project alternatives, and review proposed changes.
Project teams seeking an independent second opinion
Have an experienced electrical professional review quantities, labor, material pricing, scope, assumptions, and bid documents before an important decision is made.
