May 2026 Updated Walkthrough/Demo

A full, updated walkthrough of Quantify, PataBid's electrical estimating software. Watch a complete electrical estimate built from scratch, from drawings all the way to a finished client proposal. This is the real thing, start to finish. We take a sample electrical project and work through it the way an estimator actually would: setting up the estimate, taking off the drawings, pricing material and labor, comparing supplier quotes, and sending out a proposal.
