New-home wiring for builders and owner-builders
We do residential electrical work only. New houses, ADUs, and the garages and shops that belong to a home.
Whole-house wiring for a new home, from the service and the main panel through rough-in and trim-out. We work for builders, and for owner-builders running their own build.

What this covers
Service and main panel
The service entrance, the meter base and the main panel, sized for the house and what's going in it.
Rough-in
Boxes, circuits and wiring through the framing, laid out from your plans and a walkthrough with you, before insulation and drywall.
Trim-out
Devices, fixtures, the panel's labels and the final connections to the appliances and equipment.
Circuits for what's coming
Room for an EV charger, a heat pump, a heat-pump water heater, a generator inlet and a shop, planned in from the start, when it's easiest.
Outdoor circuits
Outdoor receptacles and lighting for the entries, the deck and the path to a detached garage or shop.
How we fit into a build
Plans and a walkthrough
We go over the plans, the panel location and the fixture layout with you.
Written scope
Every circuit and device listed, so you can compare and decide.
Rough-in
After framing, coordinated with you around the other trades' rough-ins.
Trim-out
After drywall and paint, with the fixtures and devices you've chosen.
Walkthrough
We walk it with you, show you the labeled panel and hand over the documents.
Owner-builders
Building your own home? We do the electrical while you run the project, and we keep our scope and any changes in writing, which helps with a construction loan's draws. If you want help running the whole build, see Washington Construction's owner-builder project management, and for a full custom home, custom homes.

Questions people ask
When should I call you on a new build?
As early as you have plans. The service size, the panel location and any EV, heat-pump or generator circuits are easiest to settle before framing.
Do you work for builders as a subcontractor?
Yes. See builders and trade partners for what we need from you and how to send a job.
Can you wire an ADU or a detached garage at the same time?
Yes. A detached ADU, garage or shop on the same property can be part of the same scope. See remodel and ADU wiring.
