Quebec Electrical Estimating

Quebec Electrical Estimating Services

MeTiger provides electrical estimating and takeoff support for contractors and general contractors working across Quebec — from the Montreal region and Quebec City to Laval, Gatineau, Longueuil, and Sherbrooke. We turn your tender drawings, specifications, and addenda into clean quantities, material lists, labour summaries, and marked-up plans you can bid with confidence.

Everything is delivered remotely. Send a PDF or DWG set in French or English, and we return a reviewable package on an agreed window — no travel, no local office required, just careful estimating built for review.

Local context

Electrical estimating built for Quebec projects

Quebec runs its own electrical regime, and our estimating support reflects it. Electrical construction in the province is overseen by the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ), and the electrical trade is governed by the Corporation des maîtres électriciens du Québec (CMEQ). The governing document is the Quebec Construction Code, Chapter V – Electricity, based on CSA C22.10 — the provincial standard derived from the Canadian Electrical Code.

Distribution across most of the province is served by Hydro-Québec, so utility service, metering, and coordination notes are read with local practice in mind. Because Quebec is a French-first market, we estimate directly from tender drawings and specifications issued in French or in English, and flag anything that needs a clarification rather than guessing at intent.

We provide estimating and coordination support informed by CSA C22.10 and the Quebec Construction Code, Chapter V. We do not act as the RBQ-licensed contractor, the engineer of record, or the authority having jurisdiction.

Code & compliance

Quebec code & compliance

Our takeoffs and scope review are informed by the Quebec Construction Code, Chapter V – Electricity, which is based on CSA C22.10 — the provincial standard derived from the Canadian Electrical Code — together with the project specifications, Hydro-Québec service requirements, and the tender documents. We estimate what the drawings call for and flag where they conflict or leave gaps.

Final compliance remains subject to the project engineer, the Quebec authority having jurisdiction, and applicable provincial requirements. MeTiger provides estimating and coordination support only — not stamped drawings, sealed engineering, or code-compliance certification — and works alongside the engineer of record where required.

FAQ

Quebec estimating questions

Do you provide electrical estimating across Quebec?

Yes. We support electrical contractors and general contractors on projects throughout Quebec — the Montreal region, Quebec City, Laval, Gatineau, Longueuil, Sherbrooke, and communities across the province — working remotely from your PDF or DWG tender set.

Can you work from French tender drawings and specifications?

Yes. Quebec is a French-first market, and we can estimate from tender drawings and specifications issued in French or in English. Where a document is French-only, we work directly from it and flag any wording that needs a clarification from the design team.

Which electrical code do you follow for Quebec?

Our takeoffs and scope review are informed by the Quebec Construction Code, Chapter V – Electricity, which is based on CSA C22.10, the provincial standard derived from the Canadian Electrical Code. Final compliance remains subject to the project engineer, the Quebec authority having jurisdiction, and applicable provincial requirements.

Do you work from PDF or DWG files?

Both. Send a PDF or DWG tender set with the specifications and any addenda, or share a Dropbox, Drive, or Procore plan link. We confirm scope and a delivery window before starting.

Do you sign NDAs before we share documents?

Yes. A non-disclosure agreement is available on request before you send tender documents or plan links, so your bid information stays confidential.
