Why MeTiger
What sets MeTiger apart
The estimating market is full of anonymous, high-volume shops. MeTiger works the opposite way: clear scope, direct communication, and reviewable estimating assumptions.
Talk to your estimator
You deal with the person building your estimate, so questions do not disappear into an anonymous queue.
Defensible numbers
Takeoffs and pricing are built from drawing review, NECA labor-unit references, and clearly marked national/regional assumptions.
Transparent scope
Deliverables spell out inclusions, exclusions, allowances, alternates, and bid assumptions.
Committed turnaround
The turnaround target is confirmed with the fixed quote before estimating starts.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you provide electrical estimating across all 50 states?
Yes. MeTiger provides electrical estimating and takeoff support remotely for contractors and general contractors across all 50 states. We work from your PDF or DWG set and deliver a reviewable estimate package on an agreed window.
Do you use the National Electrical Code (NEC)?
Our estimating and scope review are informed by the NEC, project specifications, local utility requirements, and the bid documents. Final compliance remains subject to the engineer of record and the authority having jurisdiction.
Can you estimate from PDF drawings?
Yes. PDF bid sets are the most common input. Send the drawings, specifications, and any addenda, and we confirm scope before starting.
Can you work from DWG / CAD files?
Yes. We work from DWG/CAD backgrounds as well as PDFs. Let us know what format you have and we will confirm what we need.
What do I receive with the estimate?
A reviewable package: a quantity takeoff workbook, color-coded marked-up drawings, a material list by system, a NECA labor-hour summary with the labor-unit basis and assumptions, inclusions and exclusions, an RFI / scope-gap log, addenda review, and a bid summary.
Do you provide stamped engineering?
No. MeTiger provides estimating and bid-support services — not sealed engineering, stamped drawings, or engineer-of-record services.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. An NDA is available on request — note it on the form and we will send one before you share drawings.
How is pricing structured?
A fixed estimating quote per project, confirmed after we review the drawing set, scope, and bid schedule — before any work begins. No subscription and no long-term contract.
How fast is turnaround?
Typical 24–48 hour target, confirmed per project after drawing review. Larger or incomplete sets may take longer.
How do I request a quote?
Send your bid set (or a plan link) and the bid due date through the quote form. We confirm scope, fee, and delivery window before any work begins.
