Commercial electrical services in Charlotte

Commercial electrical work is mostly coordination: with the GC's schedule, the landlord's rules, the inspector's calendar, and your opening date. The wiring has to be right, and it has to be right on the day it is needed.

Who we work with

  • General contractors

    Phase-aligned rough-in and trim, inspection-ready every visit, and one contact who answers.

  • Property managers

    Scheduled maintenance, tenant-turnover repairs, common-area lighting, and dated reports for your files.

  • Business owners and tenants

    Dedicated equipment circuits, lighting changes, and repairs scheduled around your hours.

How we work

  1. 1

    Scope from drawings or a walkthrough

    We read the plans against the equipment list, or walk the space, and flag problems before they become change orders.

  2. 2

    Schedule to the project

    Rough-in, above-ceiling, and final inspections are booked to the GC's phases. Occupied-space work happens before open or after close.

  3. 3

    Close it out

    As-builts, panel schedules, and the closed permit, handed over at the end.

Permits and inspections

Commercial electrical permits and inspections in Charlotte run through Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement, usually under the project's commercial permit. We apply for the electrical permit, attend rough-in, above-ceiling, and final inspections, and deliver the closeout package. Inspection, testing, and like-for-like repairs under a maintenance schedule generally do not need a permit.
