The iBidElectric Podcast is built for electrical contractors, estimators, and project managers who want to bid smarter, win better work, and protect their margins. Each episode delivers clear, practical guidance drawn from real-world electrical construction experience—not theory, not fluff.
Hosted by industry professionals with decades in the field, the podcast breaks down the art and science of electrical estimating in a way that is easy to understand and immediately useful. Topics include takeoffs, labor units, material pricing, risk management, design-build estimating, change orders, value engineering, and how estimating decisions impact project profitability long after the bid is submitted.
You will also hear honest discussions about common estimating mistakes, how to avoid underbidding, and how to build repeatable systems that lead to consistent results. Whether you are estimating small commercial jobs, large institutional projects, or design-build work, the iBidElectric Podcast helps you think like a business owner—not just a bidder.
This podcast is ideal for contractors who want to move from “winning jobs” to winning profitable projects. If your goal is better bids, fewer surprises, and stronger financial outcomes, this show is designed for you.

For students trying to decide where to focus early in their careers, understanding these differences can save years of frustration and help align career choices with personal goals.
