Case Study: Electrical Contractor Success

The Problem

A 15-year-old electrical contracting company based in Seattle was struggling to keep up with bid volumes. Their in-house estimator was overwhelmed, bids were piling up, and they were missing submission deadlines. The company needed a way to increase their bidding capacity without hiring additional full-time staff.

The Solution

The contractor partnered with Phoenix Estimations to outsource their electrical estimating. We provided detailed electrical takeoffs averaging $250 per medium-sized project with same-day or next-day delivery. Our team delivered accurate material lists and bid-ready estimates directly integrated with their proposal workflow.

The Outcomes

Within the first month of partnering with Phoenix Estimations, the contractor filed bids on 10 projects and closed 6 of them—a 60% win rate. The accurate takeoffs and timely delivery transformed their bidding capacity. The contractor's portfolio and revenue grew significantly, proving the value of outsourced electrical estimating.
