Alberta Electrical Estimating Services
MeTiger provides electrical estimating and takeoff support for contractors and general contractors bidding work across Alberta — from Calgary and Edmonton tenant improvements to industrial and energy-adjacent facilities in Red Deer, Fort McMurray, and Grande Prairie. Send your drawings; we turn them into a clean, reviewable estimate you can bid with.
Electrical estimating built for Alberta projects
Alberta electrical work is administered under the province's Safety Codes Act, largely through accredited municipalities and agencies overseen by the Safety Codes Council, with permitting handled by the provincial or municipal authority having jurisdiction for your project. We keep that framework in mind while we price the scope.
Utility coordination matters on Alberta bids, and service arrangements differ by territory — ENMAX in Calgary, EPCOR in Edmonton, and FortisAlberta or ATCO Electric across much of the rest of the province. We note the service entrance, metering, and utility-coordination assumptions in the estimate so the connection scope is visible before bid day rather than after award.

Alberta project types we estimate
Industrial & energy-adjacent
Plant, process, and energy-adjacent facilities with heavier distribution, motors, controls, and site electrical.
Warehouses & logistics
Distribution centres and light-industrial buildings with high-bay lighting, feeders, and equipment power.
Commercial & retail
Offices, retail fit-outs, and mixed-use tenant improvements where clean lighting, branch power, and low-voltage counts drive the number.
Institutional
Schools, healthcare, and public facilities where life-safety coordination and documented assumptions carry weight at bid.
Service & distribution upgrades
Service upgrades, panel and switchgear replacements, and distribution reworks on occupied sites.
Municipal & utility-adjacent
Pump stations, municipal facilities, and utility-adjacent infrastructure with controls and site electrical.

Alberta code & compliance
Our estimating and scope review are informed by the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1) as adopted in Alberta, alongside project specifications, local utility requirements, and the bid documents. We estimate what the documents call for and log where they conflict or fall silent so you can raise it as an RFI.
