Simplify your electrical estimating workflow with a dedicated Accubid Virtual Assistant from Intelus Agency. Our remote professionals help estimators log bid invitations, organize plans and addenda, support LiveCount takeoffs, and keep material pricing current. They also gather supplier quotes and format bid summaries and proposals. Reduce estimator workload so your team can bid more jobs with the same people.
Accubid Virtual Assistant Services for Electrical Contractors
Trimble Accubid is estimating software that many electrical contractors have relied on for years. It speeds up pricing, but a lot of the work around each bid is still manual. Someone has to log every invitation, organize plans, track addenda, request supplier quotes, update pricing, and format the final proposal. When estimators do all of that themselves, they bid fewer jobs.
A dedicated Accubid Virtual Assistant takes on that support work. Your assistant learns your estimating standards and Accubid setup, then keeps every bid moving toward its deadline.
Intelus Agency connects electrical contractors with carefully selected remote professionals who can support Accubid workflows alongside broader construction office support.
Your assistant supports the estimating process only. Scope decisions, labor units, markups, final pricing, code and NEC interpretations, and engineering questions stay with your estimators, project managers, and licensed electricians. Intelus Agency is an independent virtual assistant provider and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Trimble or Accubid.
Electrical Estimating Software Support
Electrical estimating software works best when someone keeps the projects, databases, and deadlines around it organized. Our Accubid Virtual Assistants handle that daily setup so estimators can focus on pricing.
Support includes:
- Logging every invitation to bid with project name, GC, bid date, and pre-bid meeting
- Keeping a shared bid calendar so estimators see what is due and when
- Sending intent-to-bid or no-bid replies once your estimator decides
- Setting up new projects in Accubid with the right job details
- Watching for addenda and RFI responses and updating the project file
- Reminding your team of deadlines for questions, quotes, and final bids
- Filing copies of every submitted bid for future reference
- Recording bid results and GC feedback when available
- Preparing a monthly win-rate report by GC, project type, and estimator
No bid gets missed because an email was buried. Our calendar management specialists can keep your estimators' schedules organized as well.
Electrical Takeoff Software Support
Electrical takeoff software like Trimble LiveCount lets quantities be measured right on the drawings and flow straight into Accubid. Your assistant can handle the counting work while your estimator keeps control of the final takeoff.
Support includes:
- Downloading plan sets and specifications for each bid
- Organizing drawing sheets by discipline and floor
- Setting up the project in LiveCount before takeoff starts
- Counting devices, fixtures, and equipment using your assemblies
- Measuring branch runs and feeders on the drawings
- Marking up sheets so the estimator can check work quickly
- Adding and marking every addendum so the team uses current drawings
- Pulling lighting fixture schedules and panel schedules into a reference folder
- Flagging unclear items on the plans for estimator review
Your estimator reviews every count and adjusts anything that needs judgment. Our quantity take-off team brings the same careful approach.
Trimble Accubid Database and Pricing Upkeep
Trimble Accubid includes a large material database and thousands of prebuilt assemblies. Accurate bids depend on keeping those prices and assemblies clean and current.
Support includes:
- Running regular material pricing updates
- Flagging items with large price changes for your estimator
- Adding new materials your team starts using
- Keeping custom assemblies organized the way your estimators set them up
- Removing or marking outdated items in the database
- Checking that multi-level breakdowns match your bid structure
- Keeping supplier part numbers matched to database items
- Recording when each price list was last updated
Labor units and markups always stay with your estimators. Our data management team can help with larger database cleanups.
Accubid Anywhere Support for Shared Estimating Teams
Accubid Anywhere is the cloud version of Accubid. It lets several estimators work on the same project from shared databases and adds change management, pricing, and submittal tools.
Support includes:
- Supporting teams that share databases and projects in the cloud
- Keeping shared project folders named and organized the same way
- Making sure all estimators work from the same pricing database
- Tracking who is working on which section of a bid
- Organizing submittal packages with product data your project manager selects
- Keeping project notes current so handoffs between estimators go smoothly
- Supporting both Accubid Classic desktop users and Accubid Anywhere users
- Preparing simple status updates on shared bids
With a shared setup that stays organized, your team can split large bids without losing track of the details.
Supplier Quotes and Package Pricing
Lighting packages, switchgear, generators, and fire alarm systems are often priced by suppliers. Your assistant keeps those quotes coming in on time.
Support includes:
- Sending quote requests with the right drawings and spec sections
- Building supplier contact lists by package type
- Tracking which suppliers have responded
- Following up with suppliers before the bid deadline
- Laying out quotes side by side for your estimator to compare
- Noting exclusions and lead times listed in each quote
- Saving final quotes with the project file
Our vendor coordination specialists bring the same follow-through to supplier relationships.
Bid Summaries, Proposals, and Change Orders
Once the estimate is priced, the bid still needs to be packaged and sent. After award, change orders keep coming.
Support includes:
- Formatting the Accubid bid summary for review
- Preparing proposal letters with the inclusions, exclusions, and clarifications your estimator writes
- Filling out GC bid forms
- Submitting the bid on time through the GC's chosen method
- Building change order requests from the original estimate's pricing structure
- Tracking the status of each change order
- Logging accepted change orders so billing stays accurate
Our estimates and proposals team follows this same approval-first process.
