Questions
What developers and general contractors ask first
What do you need to bid a building?
The plan set with the electrical sheets, the specs and every addendum, plus your bid date and the schedule you are building to. Unit counts and a utility contact help if you have them.
Do you price by the unit or by the job?
From the drawings. Service gear, feeders, unit rough-in, common areas and site power each get their own lines. Unit counts help us compare jobs, but the number comes from the plans.
Who pulls the permits and books the inspections?
We pull the electrical permits for our scope and book each inspection. The utility sets its own energize date, so we line our final inspection up ahead of it.
Do you take single-family or small jobs?
No. We take multifamily, senior living and student housing. A homeowner or a single-family builder is better served by a residential electrician.
What about the utility and long-lead gear?
We send the utility the load information it asks for early, and we flag switchgear and meter stacks at preconstruction because they take time to arrive. We can't promise an energize date: the utility sets it.
How do I check your license?
Our Texas electrical contractor license is on every page and on the qualifications page. Look the number up on the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation's site.
Does anyone on the crew speak Spanish?
Socorro, Refugio and several of our field foremen do. Ask for one when you request a bid, and we will put one on the walkthrough.
What happens after turnover?
Callbacks go to one project manager and close out on one list. Terms for repairs after turnover are the ones in your contract.
Still have a question?
Call the bid desk or send the plans and ask us there.
