Estimating a commercial electrical job
Estimating a commercial electrical job
(OP)
Hello,
I would like ask for recommendations on books or online material to understand calculations required to estimate a commercial electrical job at a pre-tender stage.
I would like to conduct an engineer's estimate calculation before the tender stage. I'd appreciate any direction on the above issue.
Thank you.

RE: Estimating a commercial electrical job
If you have someone more experienced to consult with, they may be able to give you an idea of the what the electrical cost should be as percentage of the total building cost. Keep in mind that people do estimating full-time as a living. Also, generally an engineer's estimate should be very conservative. It's always embarrassing for the engineer to be the "low bidder".
