Quick answers to common questions from developers and general contractors about costs, capabilities, and construction electrical services.
Commercial electrical construction typically runs $15-$35 per square foot depending on building type, complexity, and systems required. Ground-up projects range from $150,000 for smaller retail to $1M+ for large commercial developments. We provide detailed phase-by-phase budgets during pre-construction so there are no surprises.
Yes, full-scope electrical construction is our specialty. We handle temporary power, underground trenching, main service installation, rough-in, fire alarm, lighting, specialty systems, final trim, and testing through certificate of occupancy. One contractor for the entire electrical scope.
Absolutely. We're experienced working within GC-managed construction schedules, attending coordination meetings, managing RFIs, and working alongside mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, and low-voltage trades. We communicate proactively and hit our milestones.
Yes. We prepare permit-ready electrical plans, Title 24 lighting compliance documentation, load calculations, and all required acceptance testing. Our documentation packages minimize plan check revisions and keep your project moving.
Change orders are a normal part of construction. We document all changes with clear pricing, schedule impacts, and approval workflows. Our project managers ensure changes are tracked, communicated, and executed without disrupting the overall construction timeline.
Yes. We maintain flexible crew capacity and can scale from small teams during early phases to full mobilization for critical milestones. We align our staffing with your construction schedule to ensure we never hold up the critical path.
From temporary power and underground trenching to final trim and certificate of occupancy, OES delivers the complete electrical construction your development demands.
