The Definitive Guide to Bidding on Larger Jobs Part Two
Electrical Estimating Class: How to organize and Create an Electronic Takeoff
How do you win a contract for a larger job? There’s a saying that says the devil is in the details. Putting together a successful bid on a larger job means paying attention all the details and our electrical estimating training will walk you through the bid step by step.
In Part Two of our definitive guide to bidding on larger jobs, our experienced trainer Brian Hoffelder will show you how to create an orderly and organized electronic takeoff using Vision InfoSoft’s electrical estimating software Electronic Bid Manager and the electronic takeoff software Plan Swift.
Takeoff is a critical step in putting together an accurate bid, and with a larger job the process becomes even more important, because inaccuracies can be more costly. In this webinar you’ll
learn how to create a foundation for your bid: an accurate, detailed count of the fixtures, switches, wiring as well as drops to switches, receptacles and panel. Brian will even show you how to accurately estimate time, labor, equipment and materials for digging a trench.
Confident electrical estimating can make the difference in winning more jobs as well as creating a bid that will ensure you’re paying yourself as well.
