Stop bidding from incomplete electrical scope.
Electrical costs are often missed between drawings, specifications, addenda, schedules, and other trades’ equipment requirements. MeTiger reviews the bid set, organizes the electrical scope, flags missing information, and delivers a reviewable estimate package your team can price, check, and submit with more confidence.
