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.

NEC 2026 Code Changes Explained
Today we’re talking about something that quietly reshapes every electrical project long before the first conduit is installed—the 2026 National Electrical Code.
This isn’t one of those Code cycles where you just highlight a few new sections and move on. NEC 2026 feels different, because it is different. It reorganizes the book, redefines how systems relate to each other, and—most importantly—changes how the Code thinks about buildings, people, and long-term safety.
We’re seeing the end of “set it and forget it” electrical design. Buildings now manage loads, integrate power and low voltage, rely on control systems, and carry multiple power sources all at once. NEC 2026 finally acknowledges that reality—and it raises the bar for clarity, coordination, and accountability.
In this episode, I’ll walk you through the biggest NEC 2026 changes in plain language. We’ll talk about what moved, what changed, and why it matters in the field—from limited-energy systems and power control, to GFCI and arc-flash labeling, to service disconnects and grounding.
Whether you’re an electrician, estimator, inspector, designer, or facility manager, this is about more than Code compliance. It’s about understanding where the industry is headed—and how NEC 2026 is shaping the next generation of electrical work.
