Low Voltage Estimating
Professional takeoffs for security, data, fire alarm, and integrated communication systems across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
Low Voltage Estimating Services
Precision in low voltage estimating requires more than just counting devices; it requires a deep understanding of integrated system architecture. We provide comprehensive takeoffs for structured cabling, IP surveillance, access control, and fire life-safety systems. Our team meticulously quantifies every linear foot of Cat6, Fiber Optic, and Coaxial cabling, along with detailed counts for head-end equipment, RMR racks, and field devices. Whether you are bidding on a small-scale retail security upgrade or a massive multi-campus fiber backbone, we ensure your bill of materials is forensic and code-compliant.
Low voltage contractors often face tight margins and complex integration requirements. We help you stay competitive by providing mathematically verified bid packages that account for every connector, patch panel, and sensor. Using Planswift and Bluebeam, we deliver color-coded digital overlays that separate your systems by layer—Data, Security, AV, and Fire—making your installation planning and vendor negotiations seamless. With our 24-48 hour turnaround, you can respond to RFPs faster than your competition, backed by a detailed labor-hour analysis tailored to the specific complexities of low-voltage terminations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions from Contractors
Yes. We perform complete fire alarm takeoffs including device counts, panel requirements, and auxiliary relays. We ensure our counts align with the specific life-safety symbols and schedules provided in your blueprints.
Absolutely. We quantify all horizontal cabling (Cat6/6A) and backbone fiber optic runs, including all terminations, patch panels, and testing requirements. We factor in slack loops and vertical rises to ensure your material list is 100% accurate.
Yes. Our bid packages include a detailed breakdown of all head-end components, including equipment racks, UPS units, network switches, and NVRs/DVRs, so you have a complete procurement list for your vendors.
For projects without finalized drawings, we can provide conceptual estimates based on square footage and system requirements. This helps you provide your clients with accurate budgeting during the early design phases.
