Unlike national outsourced estimating firms that price off generic, out-of-date national databases, our estimates come directly from a team that actually installs low-voltage and AV systems every single day. As a hands-on audio visual company and low-voltage subcontractor operating throughout South Florida, we understand the real-world costs of labor, materials, and field execution. From complex smart home integration and luxury residential automation to commercial structured cabling, access control, and enterprise conference room setups, we know what it takes to get the job done right.
Our deep field experience translates directly into bulletproof estimates, detailed bill of materials (BOM), and accurate labor takeoffs tailored to local market conditions. We serve electrical contractors, AV integrators, and trade professionals across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County—including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and Coral Gables. Partnering with us means fewer surprises on bid day, tighter budget control, competitive trade pricing, and estimates that hold up when your crew breaks ground.
Who We Work With
General Contractors
We provide general contractors across South Florida with precise, bid-ready low-voltage and commercial AV cost estimates that protect project margins and streamline the bidding process. Whether you are bidding on large-scale commercial build-outs, high-rise developments, or municipal projects in Miami or Fort Lauderdale, our field-proven takeoffs ensure complete scope coverage (from structured cabling, fiber optics, and CCTV surveillance to complex audiovisual integration) so you never get caught off guard by missed items or unexpected change orders.
Home Builders
Custom home builders and luxury residential developers rely on us for accurate smart home and AV estimating tailored to high-end estate builds. From automated lighting control, motorized shades, and multi-room distributed audio to whole-home security networks, we deliver detailed scope breakdowns and realistic labor pricing. We help custom builders in areas like Boca Raton, Palm Beach, and Coral Gables present transparent, fully detailed tech packages to clients while keeping pre-construction pricing strictly on budget.
Architects & Designers
We bridge the gap between creative vision and technical execution by providing architects and interior designers with accurate, early-stage budget estimates for low-voltage, acoustic, and AV designs. During the schematic design and planning phases, we help you align aesthetic goals with realistic technology costs, covering everything from hidden architectural audio and lighting control to motorized shading systems and concealed media rooms, ensuring your tech-forward designs remain viable without risking cost overruns late in the project.
Developers
Real estate developers and property managers turn to us for comprehensive low-voltage pre-construction estimates that optimize ROI on commercial, hospitality, and multi-family residential projects. From initial site plan review to final project budgeting, we evaluate complex infrastructure requirements (including access control, gate entry systems, commercial network cabling, digital signage, and property-wide Wi-Fi) giving you the precise financial clarity needed to secure financing, manage risk, and scale developments efficiently across the South Florida market.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a takeoff and a full estimate?
A takeoff is a quantity count — the materials and devices required for the project. A full estimate adds pricing: material costs, labor hours, and total project cost. We offer both, depending on what your bid needs.
How fast can I get an estimate back?
Most estimates are delivered within 24–48 hours of receiving complete plans. Larger or more complex projects may take longer — we’ll confirm a timeline when we review your submission.
What areas do you serve?
We provide estimating services throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, and take on select projects elsewhere in Florida.
Do you only estimate for projects you'll also install?
No — our estimating services are available independently of installation. Many GCs use us purely for accurate pre-bid numbers.
What do you need from me to get started?
Architectural or MEP plans (PDF preferred), and any relevant low-voltage/AV specs. The more complete the plan set, the faster and more accurate the turnaround.
