Electrical Estimating Case Studies

Case Studies

A look at the kind of electrical estimating and takeoff work MeTiger does — described by project type and scope, not by client name. Below you will find representative prior experience that illustrates our capability, followed by Canadian case studies we are actively building as new projects wrap up.

Group 1

Representative prior estimating experience

The following are anonymized, generic descriptions of prior estimating work, grouped by project type. They are shown to convey the scope, systems, and coordination involved — no owners, brands, stores, or locations are identified.

Large-format retail interior remodel

Takeoff and labour summary for a big-box interior renovation: LED lighting upgrades and controls, refrigeration and case power, back-of-house branch circuits, and receptacle and equipment connections. Scope was organized so the count could be phased and priced around live store operations, with clear inclusions, exclusions, and after-hours assumptions documented for the bid.

Restaurant tenant improvement build-out

Estimate for a restaurant fit-out inside a leased shell: kitchen equipment power, exhaust hood interlocks and controls coordination, dining-room lighting and controls, and front-of-house receptacles. The package flagged tenant-versus-landlord scope splits, base-building tie-in points, and equipment with unclear power sources so the contractor could resolve them before pricing.

Municipal wastewater lift-station package

Electrical takeoff for municipal wastewater lift-station work: pump control panels, motor feeders and disconnects, SCADA tie-in provisions, and standby generator and automatic transfer switch (ATS) provisions. Utility service coordination points, grounding, and site conduit were quantified and noted, with assumptions logged where the documents were incomplete or in conflict.

Representative of scope and project type; shown to illustrate capability.

Group 2

Canadian case studies — coming soon

We publish a case study only once the project is complete and the contractor has agreed to share it. Rather than invent details or metrics, these Canadian examples are marked coming soon and will be filled in with real, permission-based work.

Coming soon

Commercial tenant improvement estimate – Canada

An anonymized Canadian commercial fit-out takeoff and labour summary, added once a completed project is available to share.

Coming soon

Restaurant fit-out estimate – Canada

A Canadian restaurant build-out estimate covering kitchen power, hood interlocks, and dining lighting, to be published with permission.

Coming soon

Municipal / utility electrical estimate – Canada

A Canadian municipal or utility electrical package with controls, standby power, and site coordination, added as work wraps up.

Coming soon

Industrial electrical takeoff – Canada

A Canadian industrial or process electrical takeoff with feeders, motors, and controls, to be featured once completed and approved.

How to read these

Scope, not spin

Case studies are useful for understanding project types and coordination challenges — but the best way to judge our work is the deliverable itself. Here is what every MeTiger estimate is built to show, on any of the projects above:

  • Quantity takeoff you can check line by line
  • Colour-coded marked-up drawings
  • Material list organized by system
  • Labour-hour summary with the labour-unit basis
  • Documented inclusions and exclusions
  • RFI and scope-gap log for conflicts and missing items
  • Addenda reconciled against the base set
  • Clear assumptions instead of silent guesses
MeTiger provides electrical estimating and coordination support informed by CSA C22.1 / the Canadian Electrical Code, provincial practices, and the bid documents — not stamped drawings, sealed professional engineering, or code-compliance certification. Final compliance remains subject to the project engineer, the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ), and applicable provincial/territorial requirements, and we work alongside the engineer of record where required.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are these real, named projects?
The first group describes representative prior estimating experience by project type only — not named clients, stores, or locations. It is shown to illustrate the kind of scope MeTiger can take off and organize, not to imply endorsement by any owner. The Canadian case studies section is a set of clearly marked placeholders that we will fill in with real, permission-based examples as they are completed.
Why are the Canadian case studies marked coming soon?
We only publish a case study once the work is complete and we have permission from the contractor or general contractor to share it. Rather than fabricate details or metrics, we mark upcoming Canadian examples as coming soon and add them as real projects wrap up.
Can my project become a reference?
Yes. If you would like your commercial, restaurant, municipal, or industrial estimate featured — anonymized or credited, your choice — tell us when you send your drawings. We are actively building our Canadian case study library and welcome reference projects.
Do these examples represent stamped engineering?
No. MeTiger provides electrical estimating, takeoff, and coordination support, not stamped drawings or sealed professional engineering. Final compliance remains subject to the project engineer, the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ), and applicable provincial/territorial requirements, and we work alongside the engineer of record where required.
What can I actually see before hiring you?
Rather than rely only on case studies, ask for a sample package. Our samples page shows the format of a takeoff workbook, marked-up drawings, labour summary, and scope notes so you can judge the quality of the deliverable directly.
