Define the electrical scope before applying regional assumptions
The national electrical estimating scope defines quantity and priced outputs. This service-area page helps identify project inputs; it does not establish a local office, permit approval or a verified local wage rate.
Provide the issued power and lighting plans, one-line diagrams, panel schedules, specifications and addenda. Identify feeder routing, vertical runs, fixture supply responsibilities and low-voltage boundaries. Agree drawing references, pricing date, exclusions and revisions in the proposal.
For a quantity review, inspect the electrical sample quantities and source references. A software guide answers a tool-selection question; it does not define your measured project deliverable.
