Commercial Electrical Services in Ottawa
We manage the full electrical scope on every commercial project through our licensed, ESA-certified electrical trade partners. One contractor, one contract. You don't hire a separate electrician. We handle it.
How We Handle Electrical on Commercial Projects
Most business owners and tenants don't want to hire and coordinate a separate electrical contractor on top of their general contractor. That's why we include the full electrical scope in every commercial fit-up we manage.
Our licensed electrical trade partners are ESA-certified and work under our project management on every job. We coordinate the electrical scope alongside framing, HVAC, plumbing and finishing so everything moves in the right sequence and passes inspection the first time.
Whether it's a restaurant fit-up that needs high-voltage panels for commercial cooking equipment, an office build-out with structured data cabling to every workstation, or a retail space that needs display lighting and signage power, we manage the electrical scope from rough-in to final inspection.

FAQs – Electrical Contractors Ottawa
Can you handle the electrical on a project managed by another GC?
Yes. While most of our electrical work is part of our own full-scope commercial fit-ups, we can also coordinate electrical services as part of a larger project managed by another general contractor
How much does a commercial electrical job typically cost?
It depends on the scope. A lighting upgrade or panel swap in a small commercial unit might run $2,000 to $5,000. A full electrical rough-in for a restaurant with high-voltage kitchen equipment, hood wiring and fire suppression can run $50,000 to $120,000+. Office fit-ups with structured data cabling and server room circuits fall somewhere in between. We include electrical pricing in every project estimate so you see the full picture before work starts.
