Site Surveys & Estimating

Accurate Surveys. Detailed Estimates. No Surprises.

Every successful project starts with an accurate picture of the site and a proposal you can trust. Our survey and estimating team documents existing conditions, quantifies every device, and delivers transparent, itemized pricing, fast.

How We Help

Know the Scope Before Work Begins

Change orders and field surprises usually trace back to an incomplete survey or a vague estimate. We document the site, check the drawings against reality, and call out discrepancies before they become problems in the field.

Our estimators break pricing into the line items you need to review, compare, and approve, including cable, labor, materials, lifts, per-device unit pricing, alternates, and deducts for work by others.

What You Get

  • Site survey with photo documentation
  • Device counts by area and IDF
  • Material BOMs and wire quantities
  • Itemized labor, material, and equipment pricing
  • Clearly stated assumptions and exclusions
  • Alternates and value-engineering options

What’s Included

Our Capabilities

Everything included when TTC handles site surveys and estimating for your project.

On-Site Surveys

Technicians walk the facility to document existing equipment, pathways, power, mounting conditions, and site constraints.

Photo Documentation

Photos of existing conditions and problem areas, so your team sees exactly what we see.

Plan Takeoffs

Device counts, material BOMs, and wire quantities taken directly from your drawings and specifications.

IDF Distribution Planning

Controllers, power, and devices distributed by network closet so the estimate matches the building.

Itemized Proposals

Cable, labor, materials, lifts, and unit pricing broken out for easy review and comparison.

Alternates & Value Engineering

Options such as alternate manufacturers or cabling by others, so you can choose the right fit for your budget.

Results

How We’ve Helped Customers

Real examples from recent TTC projects.

Customer Story

Data Center Campus

For a multi-building data center bid, our team produced an IDF-by-IDF takeoff for access control and video, flagged a controller change in the revised design, and broke pricing into cable, labor, lifts, and per-device rates, with alternates for turnstiles and pole foundations.

Customer Story

Multi-Site Access Control Migration

For a multi-location access control replacement, we delivered per-site proposals with red-line drawings showing wiring routes, terminations, and device points, then revised pricing quickly as the customer’s scope evolved.

Customer Story

Retail Expansion Programs

For national retail store expansions, our estimators turn bid packages around on tight deadlines so our integrator partners can respond to their clients on time.
