Glasgow office, UK-wide clients
REMC's office is in Glasgow city centre. Our clients are not. We work with electrical contractors based in Glasgow and across the rest of the UK in roughly equal measure — the proximity matters to none of them because everything we deliver is digital. Bluebeam files, Excel BOQs, branded PDF submission packs, video calls. We've never met a few of our biggest clients in person; they don't care, because the work is the work.
For Glasgow contractors specifically, REMC adds local knowledge to the digital service — the central-belt sector mix, the wholesalers contractors here actually use, the supply chain quirks of pricing in Scotland. The four sectors below are typical of the Glasgow pipeline; the broader REMC client book covers every electrical sector across the United Kingdom.
Commercial fit-out
City-centre Cat-A and Cat-B fit-outs — Buchanan Street, St Vincent Street, Charing Cross corridors. Tight programmes, occupied-floor working, post-tender qualification discipline.
Healthcare
Phased works across the NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde estate — QEUH, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Gartnavel, community health partnerships. Out-of-hours installation, infection-control awareness, HTM-compliant submissions.
Education
Summer-programme refurbishments and new-build projects across the University of Glasgow, Strathclyde and Glasgow Caledonian estates, plus secondary schools across Glasgow City Council and the surrounding local authorities.
Industrial & data centre
Hillington Industrial Estate, Cambuslang, the Eurocentral corridor and the Erskine / Renfrewshire data-centre cluster. LV switchgear, containment, MCC packages and specialist process electrical.
Local supply chain — for Glasgow tenders
When we price a tender for a Glasgow-based contractor, our enquiry packs go to wholesalers contractors here actually use — CEF Glasgow (Cathcart Road and Cambuslang branches), Edmundson Electrical, City Electrical Factors, Rexel Cambuslang — alongside specialist sub framework rates from central-belt SELECT and ECA member networks. Labour pricing reflects current CIJC rates with the productivity and travel patterns relevant to operatives working in Scotland.
For a contractor based in Manchester, London or Cardiff, the supply chain and labour adjustments shift accordingly. The principle is the same: we price to the regional reality of the contractor we're working with, not a national average that wouldn't be competitive anywhere.

"REMC has taken commercial estimating off the director's desk completely. We've stopped pricing on weekends. Every bid goes out qualified, structured, and on time."

What we do
The same service for Glasgow contractors as for every other UK client — under the same Monthly Service Plan structure or on a one-off tender basis:
- Bluebeam take-offs — audited against the issue revision, marked up in your contractor's house style.
- Bill of Quantities — sectioned by installation sequence, line-by-line transparency on labour, materials, mark-up and prelims.
- Sub & material enquiries — coordinated packs to your preferred Glasgow and central-belt suppliers, chased to deadline.
- Submission pack — cover sheet, qualifications, programme assumptions and exclusions, ready to submit.
- Monthly Service Plans — Essential through Priority, scaled to your tender volume. See the four plans.
- One-off tenders — single bid priced this week, fixed fee, turned around on your submission deadline.
Why Glasgow contractors choose outsourced estimating
The hiring market for senior electrical estimators in central Scotland is tight. A senior in-house estimator in Glasgow now costs roughly £55–60k base, plus pension and overhead — around £74k fully loaded. For most SMB contractors pricing fewer than twelve tenders a month, that cost is hard to justify until volume is already there. The chicken-and-egg trap is real: you can't grow volume without estimating capacity, and you can't justify estimating capacity without volume.
REMC sits in that gap. A Monthly Service Plan gives you the discipline of a senior estimator for a fraction of the loaded cost of a hire, with no recruitment risk and no single point of failure. You scale capacity up or down month-on-month as your pipeline changes.
