I work for a non-profit community housing agency and created a workbook that has multiple tabs. One of the tabs is a spreadsheet that contains 22 columns (scope assumptions). On another tab I want to pull data from this large spreadsheet. There are usually at least a 100 rows, each room in a house has multiple lines and tasks with sub-totals by room. The spreadsheets primary purpose is to communicate to the construction crew what needs to be done in each room and what the budget is. Here is an example of the primary spreadsheet.

A second, third and fourth spreadsheet is needed to communicate to the sub-contractors what needs to be done. One spreadsheet each for Electrical, Plumbing, and HVAC. Ideally I want to create formulas that will look for every occurrence of a given task (i.e. "Electrical") in column B from the primary spreadsheet and return the corresponding location, description, and cost for each occurrence. For example:
Electrical Scope

Can you please give me some guidance and/or answers?
I often use Mr. Excel to solve my Excel problems by looking for similar problems or using the books I have purchased but this time, I could not find a solution so I posted my first request for help. I have been using this site for about 3 years.
I have tried a multitude of nested formulas (search, if, lookup, index, etc) to get this to work.
