Project Estimation/Quotations

Van Meter dedicates an entire team to the task of estimating for your project. Once we’re finished, you’ll receive a thorough bid of the products needed to complete the project successfully. Our team will be here to answer questions and troubleshoot issues throughout the entire process. 

Project Management

Be as efficient as possible with your time and money by working with Van Meter to track and manage project progress, make adjustments to avoid delays, and keep informed of problems as they arise. From stocked job trailers that assist with logistics management to a team of project management professionals who are always a phone call or email away, we’ll help your project stay on course starting with project estimation clear through to billing reconciliation.

Project Coordination

Project logistics management comes down to details. You need certain products, but maybe not all in the same place – and probably not all at the same time. Working with Van Meter gives you one less thing to worry about. We’ll handle:

  • Product orders
  • Order tracking and expediting (with status updates sent to you)
  • Replacement of damaged or defective equipment
  • Change order implementation
  • Billing reconciliation

We also offer kitting and drop shipping services to keep products safe and intact until you’re ready for them. Van Meter electrical supply can package certain items together, and then ship them to your jobsite. Our organized product packaging and scheduled shipments make logistics management easier.

Product Delivery

Our delivery options are created to meet your deadlines. With over $250 million in combined inventory available at our 25 electrical supply locations, you can pick up your products – or we’ll bring them to you.

If you need something that isn’t readily available at the electrical supply branch closest to you, we’ll get it from our distribution center. Or we can ship directly from the manufacturer. We even have daily overnight transfer trucks. We ship anywhere in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. We also work with all major third-party shippers, such as UPS and FedEx, to negotiate the best shipping rates.
