Tenant finish-out electrical

Restaurants, medical suites, salons and light production spaces routinely need more capacity than the shell was built for, and finding that during rough-in is expensive. We review panel schedules, metering and spare capacity, then compare that to the equipment schedule. Where capacity is short, the options — reallocating circuits, a subpanel, a feeder upgrade or a service change — get laid out early, along with long-lead gear that needs to start procurement before it becomes the critical path.

The bulk of the package is receptacles, dedicated equipment circuits, data and workstation power, and lighting rough-in to the reflected ceiling plan and layout — not just to the walls. Controls (occupancy sensing, dimming zones, signage timeclocks) get laid out before the ceiling closes to avoid one switch running an entire suite.

Equipment connections outside that package — rooftop units, exhaust fans, kitchen and production equipment, signage — are driven by manufacturer cut sheets for voltage, phase and disconnect clearance, coordinated with the mechanical contractor and vendors on delivery dates.

Inspection sequencing drives the last third of the job — rough and cover have to be called at the right moment, and corrections turned around before the next trade covers the work. We walk the space with the GC before punch, test devices and controls, and confirm emergency and exit lighting.

Closeout is a panel directory that matches reality, labeled disconnects and equipment, and any warranty documentation handed over so the tenant's facility team isn't guessing later.
