Prince Edward Island Electrical Estimating

Prince Edward Island Electrical Estimating Services

MeTiger provides electrical estimating and takeoff support for contractors and general contractors working across Prince Edward Island — from Charlottetown and Stratford to Summerside and Cornwall. We turn your tender drawings, specifications, and addenda into clean quantities, labour summaries, marked-up plans, and documented scope, delivered remotely so a smaller-centre project has the same senior support as a job in the capital.

Local context

Electrical estimating built for Prince Edward Island projects

Prince Edward Island electrical work follows the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1) as adopted in the province, with inspection and permitting handled through the provincial electrical inspection authority and the local authority having jurisdiction. We estimate to what the tender documents call for and keep that provincial context in view while we count.

Across the Island, most projects connect to the Maritime Electric distribution network, and service entrance, metering, and utility-coordination details can shape the electrical scope on any given job. We account for the servicing shown on your drawings, note where the utility interface is left unclear, and flag it so the question can be settled before bid day rather than after award. For a smaller market, that discipline matters: remote delivery is what makes experienced estimating support practical for Island contractors who do not carry a full-time estimator for every tender.

Code & compliance

Prince Edward Island code & compliance

Our estimating and scope review are informed by the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1) as adopted in Prince Edward Island, alongside the project specifications, drawings, addenda, and Maritime Electric utility requirements. We estimate what the documents describe and note where they conflict or leave a gap, so nothing is priced on a silent assumption.

MeTiger provides CEC-aware estimating and coordination support only — not stamped drawings, sealed or professional engineering, permit-ready engineering, or code-compliance certification. Final compliance remains subject to the project engineer, the Prince Edward Island authority having jurisdiction, and applicable provincial requirements. We work alongside the engineer of record where required.

FAQ

Prince Edward Island estimating FAQ

Do you provide electrical estimating across Prince Edward Island?
Yes. We support electrical contractors and general contractors right across the Island remotely — Charlottetown, Summerside, Stratford, Cornwall, and the smaller communities in between. Everything is delivered from your PDF or DWG tender set, so a smaller-centre location never limits the senior estimating support you can draw on.
Which electrical code do you estimate to in Prince Edward Island?
Our takeoffs and scope review are informed by the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1) as adopted in Prince Edward Island, together with the project specifications, drawings, addenda, and local utility requirements. Final compliance remains subject to the project engineer, the Prince Edward Island authority having jurisdiction, and applicable provincial requirements.
Can you work from PDF or DWG drawings?
Both. Send a PDF tender set or DWG / CAD files, the specifications, and any addenda — or share a Dropbox, Drive, or Procore link. We work from whatever the design team issued.
How does remote delivery work for a smaller market like PEI?
Remote delivery is exactly what makes senior estimating accessible on the Island. You send drawings and we return a reviewable package on an agreed window, so you get experienced takeoff support without needing a full-time estimator on staff for the volume a smaller centre carries.
Do you sign an NDA before we share drawings?
Yes. A non-disclosure agreement is available on request before you share any tender documents or plan links. Your bid information stays confidential.
