What we do for general contractors
Left Coast Electric is the electrical and low-voltage subcontractor on the job. We bid the drawings, coordinate with the general contractor and the other trades, and close out inspections.
On a typical project we can cover:
- Tenant improvements — power, lighting and panels for office, retail, restaurant, industrial and commercial build-outs, including work in occupied buildings. We coordinate directly with GCs and project managers from permits through the punch list.
- Ground-up new construction — electrical from planning and service sizing through underground, distribution, building wiring, site lighting and final energization.
- Pre-construction electrical — early drawing review, budgeting, constructability, value engineering, utility coordination and service sizing, so electrical and low-voltage scope, cost and schedule are set before work starts.
- Design-build electrical — our in-house project engineer designs the system and our own licensed crews install it, so one team is accountable from the first layout to final inspection.
- Power distribution, critical power and temporary power — service and distribution equipment, critical power systems, and temporary power for active job sites. See power distribution and critical power.
- Low voltage and access control — access control, network and telecommunications cabling installed alongside the electrical scope, with one contractor responsible for both.
- Lighting — interior, architectural and site lighting, including lighting retrofits.
We also provide 24/7 troubleshooting and emergency electrical service at (877) 960-1122.
