The unique skills of a design build contractor

While any electrician can install and repair electrical equipment, design build contractors are a cut above. Design build is a process that involves extensive engineering skills so that a system can be custom-designed from the ground up. This means that the electrician needs to understand every aspect of building codes and construction so that their design can function properly with HVAC, plumbing, and other necessary systems that are being installed on the same property.


Our team has decades of experience in design build electrical work and can create a system that will be perfect for your property. We are flexible and can work with a variety of subcontractors at the same time so that your projects move along as scheduled and you get a beautiful and functional finished product as quickly as possible.

Building Information Modeling (BIM)


We design projects with installation in mind, that's why BIM coordination is so important. Building our projects virtually is what helps to ensure that all of the systems have adequate space and clearances are met long before installation is set to begin. This process allows for smooth collaboration between all of the design teams.
