Empowering Your Projects with Electrical Estimating Services and Plumbing Estimating Services

In today’s competitive construction environment, mechanical and electrical trades are among the most complex and cost-sensitive disciplines. Bidding on MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) packages requires not only technical understanding but also accurate cost projections. That’s why electrical estimating services and plumbing estimating services are essential for contractors who want to stay competitive, profitable, and on schedule.

Veracity Estimating is a top-rated construction estimating company in NYC. We provide construction takeoff/estimating services to contractors, remodelers, builders, and vendors in North America, the Caribbean region, Europe, and Australia. With deep domain expertise in electrical and plumbing systems, we deliver reliable takeoffs and precise cost breakdowns—tailored for projects ranging from small residential jobs to large commercial and industrial developments.

Why You Need Electrical Estimating Services

Electrical estimating services cover all aspects of a building’s power systems, lighting, fire alarms, low-voltage wiring, and controls. Our detailed estimates include:

• Quantity takeoffs for all conduits, wires, panels, outlets, fixtures, and devices

• Labor hour projections based on job difficulty and access

• Costing for temporary power, generators, and backup systems

• Code-compliant product specifications

• Material pricing based on current supplier rates in your area

Our team works with union and non-union contractors, ensuring estimates are aligned with the labor market where you’re building. Whether you're installing solar panels, running data cabling, or wiring an entire building, our estimates bring clarity and professionalism to your bid.

Precision Through Plumbing Estimating Services

Plumbing estimating services involve much more than counting pipes. These services demand a deep understanding of water supply, sanitary waste, venting, and specialty systems (like grease interceptors or medical gas). Our plumbing estimates include:

• Accurate takeoffs for piping (PVC, copper, PEX, cast iron, etc.)

• Fixture and equipment counts (sinks, water heaters, toilets, valves)

• Man-hour projections and crew recommendations

• Estimations for trenching, insulation, pipe supports, and hangers

• Specialty plumbing systems (storm drains, hydronic heating, backflow prevention)

By combining digital takeoff tools with field knowledge, we deliver estimates that align perfectly with your install sequence, local codes, and real-time material costs.

Why MEP Accuracy Is Critical

Small errors in electrical or plumbing estimates can snowball:

• Underestimating conduit lengths or wiring can delay inspections

• Missing fixture connections leads to costly change orders

• Labor miscalculations result in project delays or overages

Our electrical estimating services and plumbing estimating services prevent these issues by:

• Using up-to-date labor units from industry-standard databases

• Applying waste factors and allowances

• Creating room-by-room and floor-by-floor breakdowns

• Coordinating takeoffs with other trades to prevent scope gaps
