Design-Build
From a blank page.
While we will take projects that are already in motion, we love when we can do the engineering plans with our long-time partners at Emerald City Engineers.
Why Day One Matters
Electricians in the room before the plans are done
Fewer Redesigns
Edison Electric prefers to join your project on day one to look into the electrical mapping before your build. Early involvement avoids costly redesigns later in the process, which reduces delays.
Local jurisdictions
Our experience with Seattle City Light, Snohomish PUD, Tacoma Power, and Puget Sound Energy lets us catch unnecessary additions before developers hit the ground running.
An honest GMP
We don't make money on change orders, they simply cause unnecessary friction. When we are involved in the design alongside Emerald City Engineers, we build an accurate budget that stays reliable.
This approach closes that gap between knowledge of systems and knowledge of the market for those systems. We know how it works, we know what it costs, so we put those together.
Value engineering built in
“By including us in the design phase, we can incorporate value engineering as we go, not after the fact.”
During the design and build electric process, we always incorporate our in-house engineering mindset. The goal behind this design and value engineering approach is to find unnecessary costs in your project without compromising legal requirements or safety.

What to expect when you bring an electrical contractor in before completed plans.
Bringing an electrical contractor into the design phase of a multi-family or mixed-use project will ultimately save developers time and money. The earlier we join, the more value we bring.
