Material Pricing Service

We obtain our material pricing from Trade Service Publication's TRA-SER SX. They have been providing pricing services for over 75 years. Their 3' wide electrical pricing book sat on Steve's desk when he first started in this industry.

TRA-SER SX, their newest product, is a web-based pricing service. This means that prices are as current as possible.  The database contains 2 million electrical parts from over 650 manufacturers with up-to-date pricing and accurate product information. You can import the data right into most major estimating systems, making the process that much easier.

We keep two pricing columns current for all estimates. The first is the standard "3rd Column" wholesale price. The second is the "Average Manufacturer Price" or "Target" column. This column is based on surveys of the actual prices contractors across the nation pay for materials.

We use this service to update our ConEst database every Monday morning, insuring that you receive the most current pricing available.
