We offer Professional Freelance Electrical Estimation Services​
Are you a professional electrical contractor in Canada? If you are one, you would know that bidding on projects and taking up complex projects based on new ideas are challenging tasks. More so if your team is occupied with other tasks, inexperienced, or simply, short of staff. That’s where freelance electrical estimation companies like Real Cost Estimating come in.
In a fast-developing and highly competitive construction industry, you need to be quick and efficient to stay on top of the game. However, there are always too many things to focus on in a contracting firm – running your current projects, managing employees, carrying out inspections and purchasing supplies.

Whether you’re bidding on a domestic or industrial scale project, our business is based on helping you ace the project in record time. Real Cost Estimating is the premier freelance electrical estimation company in Canada.

In follow-up to the review, we make revisions to the estimate as per your requirement. Once there is consensus regarding the work, we will mail the final estimate complete with the tender summary and qualifications.
