Design‑Build or Bid—We Fit Your Project Delivery

ModelHow We Work
Design‑BuildCollaborate with owners/GCs from concept; deliver engineered drawings, photometrics, equipment schedules, and value‑engineering options.
Plan‑Spec / BidCompetitively bid construction documents; coordinate submittals, RFIs, and shop drawings for a clean install.

Lighting That Works Hard

AreaRecommended Approach
WorkstationsEven, low‑glare LED with 3500–4000K CCT; local control or zoning for energy savings.
Conference RoomsMulti‑scene dimming with presentation presets; integrated task/accent layers.
Retail FloorsHigh‑CRI accent lighting for merchandising, track or linear systems with optics.
WarehousingHigh/low‑bay LEDs with occupancy and daylight zones; aisle optics to reduce waste.
ExteriorsPole lights and wall packs with photocell/timeclock control for safety and compliance.

Power Distribution You Can Rely On

We design distribution that’s clear, maintainable, and future‑proof.

  • Service entrance upgrades and AIC coordination
  • Panel schedules with spare capacity and labeled circuits
  • Transformers (k‑factor where required) and surge protection
  • Grounding and bonding to NEC and manufacturer standards
  • Clear one‑line diagrams and directories delivered at turnover

Data, Devices, and Specialty Equipment

Modern buildouts require more than outlets and lights. We coordinate with IT, AV, and equipment vendors to ensure every device powers up cleanly on day one.

  • Dedicated circuits for racks and network closets
  • UPS integration for critical electronics (owner‑provided)
  • Special receptacles and twist‑locks for appliances and equipment
  • Coordination for ovens, refrigeration, x‑ray/diagnostic loads, and compressors (where applicable)

Energy & Cost Optimization

MeasureResult
LED + ControlsLower utility costs; longer fixture life and reduced maintenance.
Circuit ZoningFlexibility for partial floor shutdowns after hours.
Load BalancingEven phases reduce losses and nuisance trips.
Surge ProtectionProtects POS, servers, and controls from transients.

We incorporate savings without compromising aesthetics or performance.


Safety, Codes & Inspection

Our teams work to NEC, local amendments, and OSHA safety practices:
