Communications Estimating
Structured cabling and low-voltage data infrastructure, scoped separately from power so nothing gets missed at bid time.
What We Take Off
- Structured cabling (voice/data)
- Telecom room build-out
- AV system rough-in
- Wireless access point infrastructure
- Cable tray and pathways
- Testing and certification allowances
Works from whatever plans you have
Traditional 2D CAD drawings and PDF plan sets, or 3D BIM models — communications quantities are taken off directly from your source files, cross-checked against the model where one exists, and delivered in the same itemized format either way.
Need the drawings themselves, not just a takeoff from them? See Drawing & Engineering Services.
Where communications estimates commonly go wrong
Cable pathway and tray quantities are frequently left off the takeoff entirely, even though they're a real, separately priced scope from the cable itself.
