Manitoba Electrical Estimating Services
MeTiger provides electrical estimating and takeoff support for contractors and general contractors bidding work across Manitoba. From Winnipeg fit-outs to warehouse and agri-industrial builds around Brandon, Steinbach, and Portage la Prairie, we turn your tender drawings, specifications, and addenda into clean quantities, labour summaries, marked-up plans, and documented scope notes — delivered remotely, no site visit required.
Electrical estimating built for Manitoba projects
Manitoba electrical work is estimated against the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1) as adopted in the province, with electrical inspection and permitting handled by the provincial electrical authority and the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Service, metering, and connection details are coordinated with the serving utility — Manitoba Hydro — across the province.
We estimate what your bid documents call for and reconcile it against those local realities: Manitoba Hydro service and metering arrangements, provincial code amendments, and the practices common on prairie commercial, warehouse, and institutional work. When the drawings and specifications don't agree, we flag it in writing rather than burying the assumption in the number. Remote delivery means we support your Winnipeg or rural Manitoba bid on the same footing — you send the set, we return a package your team can check line by line.

Manitoba code & compliance
Our estimating and scope review are informed by the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1) as adopted in Manitoba, along with provincial amendments, the project specifications, addenda, and Manitoba Hydro service requirements. This is CEC-aware estimating support: we quantify and coordinate what the documents require, and we surface where they conflict.
