Case Study | 97.2% Accurate Electrical Takeoff for a 175-Unit Louisville Apartment Project

Problem

A Louisville electrical contractor lost a critical bid on a 175-unit multi-family project, with their estimate of $812,000 coming in $73,500 higher than the winning bid. The gap was caused by missed material counts and inaccurate labor hour assumptions, leading to repeated losses on large multi-family projects.

Solution

Tyler Estimating performed a digital electrical takeoff and cost analysis, uncovering 4,800+ linear feet of missed conduit and circuits and correcting labor hours from 1.8 to 2.1 per unit. We delivered a line-item estimate of $741,900, provided Kentucky-specific labor and supplier data, and outlined a bid strategy highlighting scope clarity.

Result

On a 112-unit follow-up project, the estimate was only 1.6% off, achieving 98.4% accuracy. The contractor’s bid win rate jumped from 77% to 89%, and takeoff time dropped by 65%, freeing managers to focus on field work. With our Kentucky-focused estimating, they secured new multi-family projects and established a repeatable, profitable bidding process.
