    This document provides guidance on estimating materials and labor costs for a residential electrical project. It includes templates for an estimate table and computation of quantities of materials like wires, conduits, boxes, and circuit breakers. The estimate involves calculating the direct costs of materials and labor, with labor set at 30% of material costs. Key parts of the estimate include rough-in work, wiring, devices, fixtures, panel boards, and miscellaneous supplies. Common units of measure for estimating include meters, rolls, pieces, kilograms, and lots.

    The document discusses how to estimate materials and costs for electrical projects based on the project plans.

    Materials are estimated by calculating the quantities of each item needed based on measurements from the project plans and specifications.

    Labor cost is computed as 30% of the material cost.

    Computation for Estimate
    Labor Cost – 30% of Material Cost

    Qty of Conduits – total computed length / 3


    Total length of Wires – total length of wire x 2
    (ungrounded)
    total length of wire x 3
    (grounded)

    “color of ground wire is green/white”

    Qty of utility boxes - total number of switches and convenience outlet visible
    to the plan
    Qty of junction boxes – total number of lighting outlet and junction box visible
    to the plan

    Qty of Circuit Breaker – total number of circuits in the electrical plan plus the
    spares
    Qty. of Locknut and bushing – 1 per utility box(in switch) 2 or 1(in convenience),
    no. of circuits in panelboard plus runway to service entrance, service cap and
    grounding conductor

    Qty of Adapter – equal to the number of locknut and bushing


    No. of Conduit Elbow – depends on the number 90° bends visible to the plan

    Or sometimes the contractor doesn’t use conduit instead they use blue torch
    to the conduit to make a 90° bend
    Qty of switches – total number of lighting switches visible to the plan

    Qty of convenience outlet – total number of convenience outlet visible to the


    plan including acu’s, range, water heater, etc.
    Coupling – used to connect conduit to conduit when there’s a shortage in
    conduit length

    Lighting Fixtures
    Size of Panel Board – depends on the number of branch circuits plus main
    breaker

    Service Cap – one service cap for single dwelling


    Miscellaneous:
    Electrical Tape and Rubber Tape – uses to insulate the joints and splices

    G.I. wires – use to tie up the rough-in of switches, convenience outlet, etc.
    Parts of Estimate
    Electrical Works
    1. Roughing-Ins (conduit, adapter, locknut and bushing)
    2. Wires and Cables
    3. Wiring Devices (outlets, switches, utility, and junction box)
    4. Lighting Fixtures

    Quantity Units

    Meters – used for the length wires


    Rolls – 1 box of wire most of 1roll = 150meters
    Pieces – used for the quantities conduits, adapter, elbows, locknut, bushing, electrical tape,
    rubber tape,
    Kg – used for G.I. wires
    Lot – package quantity example 1lot = 1000piece
    Assy – assembly usually used in panelboards
