Accurate electrical cost estimation is the foundation of any successful construction project. At FutureGen Consulting Inc., we provide detailed, data-driven electrical construction estimates tailored to your project’s scope, timeline, and market conditions. Whether you’re planning a custom home, a commercial buildout, or a multi-phase development, our estimates help you budget confidently, make informed decisions, and avoid costly surprises.

We don’t just guess—we engineer your budget with precision.

Why Electrical Cost Estimation Matters

Inaccurate or generic cost estimates can derail a project before it begins. When electrical costs are underestimated, you risk:

Unexpected overruns
Change orders during construction
Insufficient budget allocations
Delays in procurement
Loss of client trust

Our accurate, line-by-line cost estimation services eliminate these risks—giving owners, contractors, and developers confidence in their numbers.

What’s Included in Our Cost Estimation Service

We offer comprehensive electrical construction cost estimation, including:

Detailed material takeoffs (conduits, wire, panels, breakers, fixtures, etc.)
Labour estimates based on project complexity and region
Fixture and equipment pricing based on current market rates
Coordination with vendor pricing and distributor quotes
Soft cost inclusion (permits, ESA fees, engineering)
Breakdown by phase, system, or area (as needed)
Optional value engineering to optimize scope within budget

We tailor each estimate to the type of construction—residential, commercial, or industrial.

Our Process

1. Document Review

We begin with your project drawings, scope descriptions, and specifications. Don’t have full drawings yet? No problem—we can work from design development or conceptual plans and provide a class C or B estimate depending on the stage.

2. Takeoffs & Quantification

We use digital estimating tools (Bluebeam, Excel, or custom sheets) to generate accurate takeoffs for:

Distribution panels and feeder sizing
Wiring and conduit runs
Lighting fixtures and controls
Fire alarm devices and circuits
Power receptacles and dedicated outlets
Emergency and life safety systems
Mechanical loads (HVAC, water heater, pumps, etc.)

3. Pricing

We apply region-specific labour rates (union or non-union) and real-time material pricing sourced from:

Local electrical wholesalers
Online supplier pricing (for fixtures, chargers, panels)
Manufacturer catalogues and past project benchmarks

We also calculate ESA permit fees and coordination allowances if we’re managing permitting.

4. Reporting

You receive a detailed, organized estimate with:

Total project electrical cost (pre-tax)
System-level breakdowns (lighting, power, fire alarm, etc.)
Optional alternates (cost for EV chargers, solar, etc.)
Summary sheet for client presentation
Notes on assumptions, allowances, and exclusions

Need this in your preferred format (Excel, PDF, or integrated into a proposal)? We’ll customize accordingly.

Estimation Services for All Project Types

We provide estimates for:

Custom homes and multi-unit residential buildings
Tenant fit-outs and office renovations
Commercial plazas, restaurants, and retail units
Warehouses and light industrial projects
Schools, daycares, and clinics
EV infrastructure, solar system installs, and backup power

Whether you’re a developer, builder, architect, or homeowner—we deliver numbers you can trust.

Where Our Clients Save the Most
