Trade scope
Electrical in Upstate SC
For builders: this scope, priced and leveled inside your Build Pack. For electrical contractors: real plan sets to quote, $150 only when you win.
How do I get electrical quotes in Upstate SC?
Your Build Pack prices the full electrical package, temporary pole through final trim, from a licensed Upstate electrician reading your actual plans. The scope sheet states service size, device counts, and the fixture allowance, so the low bid is not simply the one that counted fewer cans.
What the electrical scope sheet covers
- Service size and panel location: 200A standard, 400A where drawn
- Temporary power, rough-in, and trim-out phases included
- Receptacle, switch, and fixture counts from the plans
- Recessed can count and LED trim spec stated
- Light fixture allowance or builder-supplied, stated clearly
- Low-voltage, data, and exterior circuits listed if included
Why do electrical bids come back so different?
Electrical bids drift apart on counts and allowances: one electrician priced 40 cans, another 28; one carried a $3,000 fixture allowance, another none. Leveling pins every bid to the same counts from the same plans, so differences that remain are real, like copper feeder versus aluminum.
That is what bid leveling fixes, and every electrical bid in a pack arrives already leveled.
For contractors
Electrical work without buying leads
Licensed electricians price from real plan sets with device schedules, not from a two-line text message. Roster membership is free, there is no exclusivity, and the flat $150 fee per scope is owed only when the builder signs you.

200-amp service is the Upstate standard for most custom homes; larger homes, workshops, EV charging, and pool equipment push toward 320 or 400. Because service size changes the panel, feeder, and utility coordination, your scope sheet states it before anyone prices.
Usually devices and cans yes, decorative fixtures no — but every electrician draws that line differently. Each electrical quote in a Build Pack states its fixture allowance or marks fixtures builder-supplied, so you are never comparing a bid with lights against one without.
Before rough-in: can layouts, ceiling fans, exterior circuits, and future EV or generator plans all change wire runs that are cheap now and expensive after drywall. The pack's electrical scope sheet doubles as that decision checklist, priced.
