New Electrical Construction in Los Angeles & Orange County
Ground-up electrical work for new homes, additions, ADUs, and commercial buildouts — wired to current code from rough-in through final inspection.
New construction electrical work starts with a load calculation — figuring out how much power the finished structure will actually need, then sizing the panel and service to match. This isn't just about hitting the code minimum. A panel sized only for today's appliances is often undersized within a few years once an EV charger, a heat pump, or a home office gets added, and re-opening finished walls to fix that later costs far more than sizing it correctly the first time.
From there, the work moves into rough-in — running wire through studs and joists before drywall goes up, placing boxes for outlets, switches, and fixtures according to the approved plans, and running dedicated circuits for anything that needs one, including kitchens, laundry areas, HVAC equipment, and EV chargers. This phase has to be coordinated tightly with the other trades on site. Framers, plumbers, and HVAC installers are all routing their own material through the same wall and ceiling cavities, and a wiring run placed without checking their plans is how a rough-in inspection ends up failing and a schedule slipping.
Rough-in gets inspected before insulation and drywall cover it up — that inspection exists precisely because once the walls are closed, a mistake is expensive and disruptive to fix. We build to pass it the first time, not to patch around a failed inspection after the fact.
Once walls are closed and finishes are underway, trim-out is the visible part of the job: devices, switches, fixtures, and the panel itself get installed, tested, and labeled. For commercial shell buildings this typically also includes panel schedules and circuit directories that the next electrician, property manager, or inspector will actually need to read later.
Whether it's a single ADU, a home addition, or a multi-unit commercial shell, the goal stays the same — a system sized for how the building will really be used, wired cleanly enough that anyone opening the panel five years from now can make sense of it, and signed off without a punch list of corrections.

Wiring goes in before drywall, coordinated with the other trades on site.
Fixture & Device Trim-Out
Outlets, switches, and fixtures installed once walls are closed.
Final Inspection & Walkthrough
Sign-off with the inspector, then a walkthrough with you.
