Completing a commercial tenant improvement (TI) project involves a structured process of modifying a leased space to meet your specific operational requirements. As your electrical partner, we help you navigate this process from initial planning through final inspection to ensure safety and code compliance.
Here is the typical process for the electrical portion of your buildout:
- Site Assessment and Planning: We begin with a full assessment of the space to determine your needs, such as Electrical Panel Upgrades to handle increased loads or Dedicated Circuit Installation for specialized equipment.
- Budgeting and Quotes: We provide fixed quotes before work begins. This transparency helps you understand your tenant improvement costs upfront and allows you to effectively allocate your tenant improvement allowance.
- Permitting and Coordination: We prepare permit-ready work that complies with Title 24 and state regulations enforced by the California Department of Industrial Relations. This stage includes coordinating with local utilities like PG&E. Permit timelines vary by city, ranging from 3–5 weeks in Milpitas to 8–12 weeks in San Francisco.
- Implementation and Safety: Our Licensed & Insured team performs the necessary installations, including Electrical Wiring Installation, recessed lighting, and Seismic Retrofitting. Retrofitting is a code-mandated requirement in California to ensure electrical equipment is properly anchored and braced.
- Final Inspection: We ensure all work is inspection-ready, meeting current NEC standards to avoid costly rework or delays in opening your business.
With our local expertise across 54 cities, we provide same-day availability to keep your construction timeline on track.
