“We had a lease start date and a health inspection date. Their one-page order of work let us plan around both.”

Tenant improvement electrical · Salt Lake City
Your lease is signed. Here is the electrical, step by step.
We wire restaurants, shops and clinics moving into Salt Lake spaces. Send the address and we walk it with you, then lay out the order of work from drawings to opening day.

Lease to opening
Six stops between the lease and opening day
The same order on every job, so your contractor, your landlord and you know what comes next.
- 01Before you sign
Step 1: Walk the space
We check the panel, the meter and what the landlord's service can carry, so a lease clause does not turn into a change order later.
- 02Drawings
Step 2: Price from the plans
We bid from your architect's drawings or our measured sketch, and list what the landlord's approval covers.
- 03Permit
Step 3: Pull the permit
We apply for the electrical permit and tell your landlord and contractor when work can start.
- 04Open walls
Step 4: Rough-in before the ceiling closes
Boxes, cable and conduit go in while the walls and ceiling are open, and the inspector looks before anyone closes them.
- 05Fixtures
Step 5: Fixtures and equipment hookups
Lighting, devices and your equipment get connected, and the panel gets a printed schedule of what each breaker feeds.
- 06Opening
Step 6: Final inspection and handover
We book the final inspection, hand your manager the panel schedule and stay the one number to call if something does not work on day one.
Before the lease
Ask what the building can carry before you sign
A fit-out goes wrong early when the space has less power than the menu, the exam-room equipment or the lighting plan needs. Bring us the lease draft and the floor plan, and we write down what the panel, the meter and the landlord's rules allow.
What we write down
How many amps the space gets, and whether a larger service needs the landlord's approval
Who owns the meter and the panel, and who pays to change them
Where a hood, a walk-in cooler or an imaging room would draw its power
Which lighting and sign circuits the plan already has
Three kinds of space
Each space brings its own electrical list
Restaurants and cafés
Hood and makeup-air power, walk-in circuits, dimmed dining light and a bar that works on opening night.
Restaurant fit-outsShops
Lit shelving, track lighting on controls, sign and window circuits, and power where the till and the cameras go.
Shop fit-outsClinics and offices
Labeled exam-room circuits, corridor and exit lighting, and a dedicated line for each piece of equipment on your list.
Clinic and office fit-outs
From tenants, landlords and contractors
What they say about the order of work
“They told my tenant what the panel could and could not carry before the lease was signed. That saved us a change order.”
Samir E.Landlord, two retail bays
“The rough-in was ready for the inspector when the ceiling crew arrived, and the panel schedule was in the closeout binder.”
Mihai B.Project manager, general contractor
“Every exam room had its circuits labeled, and the labels matched the panel schedule they handed us.”

Questions
Questions we hear at the first walk
Can you start from a floor plan, or do you need drawings?
Either. At the walk we measure and sketch what is there. We price from your architect's drawings when you have them and from our own marked-up plan when you do not, and the bid says which.
Who pulls the permit?
We apply for the electrical permit for our scope. Your architect or general contractor handles the building permit, and we agree on who tells the inspector what.
What does the landlord have to approve?
Anything that changes the service, the meter or a shared panel usually needs the landlord's written approval. Your lease says which. We flag it at the walk, before you sign.
Do you work for tenants directly, or under a general contractor?
Both. Some tenants hire us before they hire a contractor, and some jobs come to us through a GC's bid list. The order of work is the same.
Are you licensed and insured, and how do I check?
The license and insurance are listed on this site. Look up the license with the Utah Division of Professional Licensing, and ask us for a certificate of insurance made out to your landlord.
Do you take emergency calls?
No. We build and change tenant spaces on a schedule. If you see sparks, smell burning or find a hot panel, leave the area, call 911 and tell your building manager.
