Answers to Common Commercial Electrical Questions
How do you price commercial and industrial projects?
We scope the work from drawings or a site walk, perform load calculations, verify panel capacity, and account for access constraints (ceiling height, lift needs, night work). You’ll receive a written estimate with labor, materials, permits, and timelines. For larger bid sets, send plans to let us request a bid with alternates for value engineering.
Can you work while our business stays open?
Yes. We phase work by area, isolate circuits, use dust control, and schedule after-hours work or weekends to minimize disruption. For restaurants and retail, we coordinate around prep and peak hours; for offices, we target early mornings or evenings.
Do you handle permits and inspections with the City of Austin and nearby jurisdictions?
We pull electrical permits, coordinate with inspectors, and close permits with labeled panels and as-builts where required. For service upgrades or new meters, we also coordinate with the utility on disconnect/reconnect.
What’s different about three-phase power for warehouses or production floors?
Three-phase distribution supports larger motors and balanced loads. We size feeders, breakers, wire, and disconnects to equipment nameplate ratings, then verify rotation and fault current. If you’re adding machinery, we’ll confirm available capacity and short-circuit ratings upstream.
Can you provide documentation for compliance and facilities teams?
Yes—panel schedules, circuit directories, fixture counts, cut sheets, torque logs where required, and maintenance notes. We can also supply W-9, COI with listed additional insureds, and vendor onboarding details on request.
Do you offer preventive maintenance?
We can set a cadence for panel torque checks, lighting audits, emergency/exit light testing, GFCI verification, and thermal scans to catch hot spots before they cause downtime. Findings are documented with clear next steps.
What if our plans aren’t finalized—can you do design-build?
We frequently support design-build and value engineering. Share your program and loads; we’ll propose circuits, paneling, lighting levels, controls, and code-compliant options that meet budget and schedule. For complex engineering, we’ll collaborate with your A/E team.
How fast can you turn around a tenant finish-out?
Schedule depends on scope and AHJ inspections, but we sequence rough-in, device/fixture trim, and punch to hit opening dates. Early coordination on lighting lead times and ceiling access keeps the timeline tight. See our approach to tenant build-outs for more detail.
Do you install power for kitchen equipment and specialized gear?
Yes. We provide dedicated circuits, appropriate receptacles or hardwired connections, GFCI where required, and equipment disconnects within sight. We follow manufacturer specs and coordinate startup so your vendors can commission on schedule.
Can you add EV charging at our property?
We install Level 2 workplace charging and plan for load management, signage, and ADA reach ranges. We’ll verify spare capacity or propose a panel/service upgrade when needed—see our industrial electrical services if chargers are part of a broader facility upgrade.
