Service drop, panel, rough-in, trim-out, inspection. Full electrical for new home construction. Owner-builders and GCs welcome.
New construction electrical breaks into two phases: rough-in (wire pulled while walls are open) and trim-out (devices installed after drywall and paint). The two phases are separated by 4-12 weeks of other work — drywall, paint, flooring, cabinetry — and the schedule is rarely under your control once it starts moving.
The single biggest cost driver in a new-construction electrical job isn't the wiring itself; it's coming back for change orders. Adding a circuit after drywall is closed is 3-4× more expensive than during rough-in. So the most useful thing we do early in a build is sit with you (or your GC) and walk every room: where do you want pendants? Recessed cans where? How many outlets in the kitchen? Smart switches in which locations? EV charger circuit pre-run? The decisions you make at framing dictate what the home is capable of for the next 50 years.
Some of our best new-construction work is for owner-builders running their own project. We pre-walk the framed shell with you, talk through every room, give you a written rough-in plan before we pull a single wire. You make the final calls on placement; we tell you the cost and code implications of each.
Inspection is on us — we schedule it, fix anything flagged, hand you the sign-off paperwork.
We sub for several Asheville and Buncombe County GCs on new builds. Standard sequencing: framing complete, MEP rough-in (us, plumbing, HVAC), inspections, drywall, finish work, electrical trim-out, final inspection. We coordinate directly with the GC's schedule.
Pricing for GC work is straightforward — fixed bid based on square footage and circuit count, with change orders priced separately. We don't surprise the GC with mid-project add-ons.
Yes — service drop coordination with Duke Energy, panel install, full rough-in (running wire while walls are open), trim-out (outlets, switches, fixtures), and final inspection. We work with both owner-builders and GCs.
Yes — we sub for Asheville GCs on new construction. Coordinated scheduling, scope agreed up front, inspections we own end to end.
At framing — before any drywall goes up. That's when we run wire, set boxes, and coordinate with HVAC and plumbing on shared cavities. Calling after framing is closed-up means we're fishing wires through finished walls — slower and pricier.
Rough-in is typically 5-10 days depending on home size. Trim-out (after drywall, paint, and floors) is another 3-5 days. Plus permit and inspection time.
We answer the phone Monday through Friday, 8am to 7pm.
