Podium Style
Commercial storefront, room for families on top.
Edison Electric was one of the first electric companies to implement podium style builds into their services. We work with projects over 200 units typically, but are open to any and all projects.
Why Podium is Different
Concrete below, wood above, one crew for both.
Mixed materials
Concrete and wood builds are entirely different. Putting the two together requires deep knowledge of both sets of standards. Our team is a specialized multi-family electrical contractor that does both.
Conduit sleeving pre pour
We take advantage of the maximum number of conduit sleeves we can run throughout the deck before it is solidified. This allows for changes without throwing off the schedule or the budget.
Utility and city regulations
Our crews have worked extensively under Seattle City Light, Puget Sound Energy, Tacoma Power, and Snohomish PUD. We can't change the laws, we can make sure your electrical plans are within them.
Working with post-tension decks is complicated. Our hybrid crew specializes in working within this space.
Avoiding Cable Hits
“A cable hit is disastrous. It brings the entire project to a halt, so we work to avoid that.”
As the last resort, we bring in X-rays to ensure safe drilling before rerouting any sleeves. While X-rays do ensure safety, they can cost $700 per shot, so avoiding them where we can is always top priority.
