What software do electrical contractors use for estimating?

Common electrical estimating platforms include Trimble Accubid, ConEst IntelliBid, McCormick and Procore Estimating, formerly Esticom. These tools connect material databases with current supplier pricing, assign labor units from built-in libraries and generate bid documents from completed takeoffs. Smaller shops can get reliable results from a structured cost estimation worksheet paired with NECA labor units and current vendor quotes, without the software cost.
