Services

Focused electrical estimating and preconstruction advisory.

Antares supports electrical contractors, general contractors, owners, and developers when an electrical estimate, scope boundary, or infrastructure assumption needs an independent read before the decision hardens.

Pre-design electrical estimating and ROM support

Budgetary electrical cost opinions when the project needs a defensible early number before the documents are ready for hard bid pricing.

Deliverables

ROM-level electrical cost framing based on available narratives, drawings, and assumptions
Major system and service-entrance cost drivers identified early
Clear exclusions, assumptions, and confidence limits
Short decision memo suitable for owner, GC, or contractor review

Typical fit

Owners, developers, GCs, and electrical contractors who need an early electrical number before the design is complete.

Independent estimate and peer review

Third-party review of electrical estimating packages before procurement, bid submission, contract award, or capital approval.

Deliverables

Line-item review of labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor assumptions
Quantity and takeoff sampling against drawings and specifications
Risk-weighted commentary on missing scope, allowances, and soft assumptions
Concise written findings sized for an executive or preconstruction read

Typical fit

Electrical contractors validating a bid, GCs reviewing trade coverage, or owners and developers seeking a second opinion.

Scope reconciliation and risk review

Structured review of where drawings, specifications, estimates, inclusions, exclusions, and trade responsibilities fail to agree.

Deliverables

Gap matrix flagging conflicts, silences, and ambiguous responsibility boundaries
Division 26, 27, and 28 scope commentary across trades and utility interfaces
Review of inclusions, exclusions, allowances, alternates, and basis-of-design notes
Recommended clarifications before pricing, award, or change exposure hardens

Typical fit

Bid, pre-award, and early construction teams facing scope drift, unclear responsibility, or claim exposure.

Electrical preconstruction advisory

Early-stage electrical judgment for projects where constructability, coordination, procurement, and budget certainty matter from day one.

Deliverables

Constructability commentary on drawings, narratives, and design progression
Long-lead equipment and procurement risk callouts
Trade-coordination and system-boundary mapping
Working sessions with owner, GC, electrical contractor, or design teams

Typical fit

Teams in concept, schematic design, design development, or GMP preparation who need field-informed electrical input.

Critical power and infrastructure feasibility

Electrical-first feasibility review for power-dense projects, major service entrances, backup power, and infrastructure-heavy decisions.

Deliverables

Service capacity and utility coordination feasibility commentary
Backup, redundancy, UPS, generator, ATS, and paralleling approach review
Single-line, equipment, and basis-of-design sanity checks
Cost-band framing for high-density or infrastructure-heavy electrical scenarios

Typical fit

Owners, developers, GCs, and electrical contractors evaluating site power, critical systems, or infrastructure-heavy scope.

Engagement types

Sized to the decision, not a retainer template.

Rapid ROM or budget opinion

A short, assumption-bound cost view when the project needs direction before full design or bid documents exist.

Focused peer review

A review of a specific estimate, bid package, scope issue, or procurement decision with written findings.

Scope reconciliation pass

A matrix-style review of mismatched drawings, specifications, inclusions, exclusions, and responsibility boundaries.

Advisory working session

A restrained engagement for teams that need direct electrical preconstruction judgment around a defined decision.

Common questions

Clear boundaries for the work.

Who does Antares Resilience serve?

Antares serves electrical contractors, general contractors, owners, and developers that need clearer electrical estimating, scope, or preconstruction judgment before making a project decision.

Does Antares provide full design engineering?

No. Antares provides electrical estimating, estimate review, scope reconciliation, and preconstruction advisory. It does not replace the engineer of record, licensed design services, or contractor means and methods.

When is the right time to involve Antares?

The best time is before budget assumptions, bid strategy, procurement paths, or scope boundaries become hard commitments. Early review is usually less expensive than late correction.

What information is useful to start?

Useful inputs include drawings, specifications, narratives, estimates, takeoff records, addenda, scope letters, exclusions, alternates, and the specific decision the team needs to make.
