/ How we work
Six stages.
Zero surprises.
Every project — a tenant improvement, a hospital genset, a 4000A switchgear swap — runs the same way. Here is what to expect from us.
01
Estimate
Send us drawings, a sketch, or just a description. We walk the site if it helps, ask the questions that matter, and turn a real number around — not a placeholder you have to chase.
- Plan-spec, design-build, or T&M
- Site walk on anything bigger than a panel swap
- Clear exclusions so the bid means what it says
02
Pre-construction
Submittals, long-lead gear orders, RFI cleanup, and a coordinated schedule with the GC. We sort out the conflicts on paper before they cost money in the field.
- Switchgear, generators, transformers ordered first
- Coordination drawings with mechanical and structural
- PG&E and AHJ paperwork started day one
03
Rough-in
Conduit, boxes, feeders, and underground get installed clean and to scale. Inspections pass first time. Photos before the drywall closes.
- EMT, rigid, and PVC per spec, no shortcuts
- Underground duct banks photographed before pour
- Rough inspection scheduled with the GC
04
Trim & gear
Devices, fixtures, panelboards, switchgear, and controls land in their final spots. Labels printed, not handwritten. Torque values logged.
- Panelboard schedules typed and posted inside the door
- Calibrated torque on every lug
- Lighting controls programmed and walked through with the owner
05
Commissioning
We megger, phase, balance, and test. Generator runs under load. Transfer switches throw. Fire alarm gets walked end-to-end with the AHJ.
- Insulation resistance, phase rotation, voltage drop logged
- Load-bank gensets to nameplate kW
- Functional test every breaker, control, and ATS
06
As-builts & warranty
Red-lines turn into clean as-builts. O&M manuals delivered. One-year labor warranty kicks in. We come back and fix it if it's ours.
- PDF + paper as-builts to the owner and GC
- O&M binder organized by gear lineup
- Warranty calls answered same business day
Got a set of plans?
Send them over. We will read them, walk the site if it makes sense, and come back with a real number.
