Our Electrical Estimation Training Framework
At Real Cost Estimating, we have a framework for electrical estimation training designed to build a solid fundamental approach to the electrical estimating process.The know-how required for this line of work includes a thorough theoretical knowledge in the National Electrical Code and other existing standards based on the country you live in.
A good electrical estimator also needs to be highly skilled in design and cost management, project estimation, contract negotiations, bidding and tendering, amongst other core skills such as cost estimation, blueprint reading, and plan reading.
Modern electrical estimation is far from looking at drawings and counting symbols. It is a digitalised area of work that requires competence in the use of high-accuracy electrical estimation software tools. Another important requisite is familiarity with all aspects of wiring, such as various wiring techniques, color-coding, and costing.
Apart from technical skills such as reading and interpreting schematics, wiring diagrams, and one-line diagrams, there is an important project management aspect to this job.
This is why the electrical estimation training at Real Cost Estimating also imparts guidance and professional training in dealing with contractors, quoting of contract estimates, and establishing relationships with electrical supply houses, lighting representatives and others. Our approach to electrical estimation training has helped many aspiring electrical estimators make the most of their career.

How does our Trimble Accubid Training lower your electrical estimating risk?
Our training on estimating software is intentioned to eliminate the risks involved in your electrical estimating decisions:
Financial Constraints on Investment
As times change, it becomes impossible for a business to survive without considerable investment in new technology. Moreover, it might cost you a lot in terms of expenses and future business growth opportunities if you continue with your existing electrical estimating system. With intensive training in electrical estimating software like Trimble Accubid, your estimators gain the same advantage as large competitors who can make huge technological investments.
Avoid Errors due to Distraction
Good software training improves your accuracy and lowers the amount of time taken to complete and check a count. With Trimble Accubid training, even if your electrical estimators are distracted by a phone call in the middle of a count, the software won’t let it carry forward without checks.
Lower Complexity with a one-stop Solution
Traditional electrical estimating systems required assembly of parts from multiple vendors and a cocktail of technologies. The system was complex, resource-intensive and expensive. With Trimble Accubid, it becomes easy for smaller companies to deploy and maintain electrical estimating systems.
Maximise Investments with No Specialised Skill
Traditionally, electrical estimating infrastructure needed specialized skills that are not just scarce, but also take experience and time to acquire. Especially when your team is small and inexperienced, you can rely on Real Cost’s Trimble Accubid training to empower them with the easier technique for effective electrical estimation.
Trimble Accubid is an Easy Solution

Can you meet our tender deadline?
When our clients send us the tender information, we always ask for the required return date to be included as well. Our estimators always promptly respond in the least turnaround time. We would expect as much notice as possible of an estimate that you need to compile. In the case that a project is urgent, we can accommodate short-notice tender deadlines too.
Does Real Cost do site visits?
We can perform site visits if the nature of the project demands it. Our team would visit and compile the estimate on your behalf, charging only the standard hourly rates and any additional expense incurred.
