Electrical Estimating
Estimating is a very important function within the electrical business. The heart of the process is to determine the ‘true cost’ of the project. By doing that, each customer ensures their costs are covered, opening the door for what’s really important, profit! The entire Candels team is well versed in ways to make clients more competitive on bid day—from value engineering to the way the price is stated, all these things add up to strategic advantages. Candels want you to be competitive but not to the point of not being able to make your anticipated profit margin. That’s the difference!
