About this Gig
Hi there, I'm Engineer Abdul, a certified cost estimator with 9+ years of experience and 2,000+ projects across all CSI divisions, with deep, hands-on expertise in electrical takeoff (CSI Division 26).
For electrical contractors, I know a takeoff needs precise fixture counts and wire lengths, not just square footage.
What's included
- Electrical quantities by system (panels, conduit, wiring, devices, lighting fixtures), with linear footage and fixture count breakdown
- Low voltage systems (data/telecom, CCTV, access control) and connector hardware
- Editable Excel spreadsheet, formatted to CSI division or NRM standards, bid-ready
I'm well-versed in the USA's CSI format, the UK's NRM3 and SMM7 measurement rules, and Australia's POMI standard, so international clients receive an estimate formatted the way their market expects.
I work in PlanSwift and Bluebeam Revu, and price using RSMeans, Spon's/BCIS, and Rawlinsons cost data, whichever standard matches your project's region.
Send over your plans, and let's discuss the scope of work; I'll turn around an accurate estimate fast. Thanks!

FAQ
What do you need from me to get started?
PDF or CAD drawings and your scope of work — tell me whether you need a full project takeoff or a single trade only, and I'll confirm price and turnaround before starting.
What's your turnaround time?
I'll confirm an exact delivery date after reviewing your drawings and scope — it depends on project size and complexity. Rush delivery is available for an additional fee if you're working to a bid deadline.
What software and pricing data do you use?
PlanSwift and Bluebeam Revu for takeoffs, priced with RSMeans, Spon's/BCIS, or Rawlinsons data depending on your region — all kept current.
Do I get a professional document I can send straight to a client or contractor?
Yes — you'll receive an editable Word/Excel file with clear, clean formatting, and I can add your company name and logo so it's ready to submit as-is.
I'm not sure which package fits my project — what should I do?
Message me first with your drawings and scope before ordering. If your project doesn't fit neatly into the listed packages, I'll put together a custom offer instead.
Can I see a sample of your work before ordering?
Yes, just ask — I can share a sample takeoff/estimate so you know exactly what you're getting.
Is low voltage (data, CCTV, access control) included, or just power and lighting?
Power, lighting, and devices are covered from the Small package up; low voltage systems are included starting with Large.
Do you provide wire/conduit lengths, or just fixture counts?
Both — fixture and device counts plus linear footage for conduit and wiring runs, with a waste allowance built in.
Can you separate panel schedules by voltage and amperage?
Yes — panels and circuits are broken out by voltage and amperage per your drawings' schedules, starting at the Medium package.
