How an Electrical Contractor Works with General Contractors

When it comes to new construction and large-scale commercial projects, success depends on strong collaboration between general contractors (GCs) and electrical contractors. From early planning to final inspections, a skilled electrical contractor plays a critical role in keeping projects on schedule, on budget, and fully compliant with safety and building codes.

At Fowler Electric, we specialize in partnering with general contractors across Nevada to deliver reliable, efficient, and high-quality electrical solutions for new builds, tenant improvements, multi-unit developments, and large commercial projects.


The Role of an Electrical Contractor in New Construction

An electrical contractor is responsible for designing, installing, and commissioning all electrical systems in a project, including:

  • Power distribution and service equipment
  • Lighting systems (interior, exterior, and specialty lighting)
  • Low-voltage systems (data, security, access control)
  • Emergency and backup power solutions
  • Energy-efficient upgrades and smart controls
  • Code compliance, testing, and final inspections

By working closely with the general contractor, the electrical team ensures every system is installed safely, efficiently, and in alignment with the project timeline.


Collaboration from Pre-Construction to Project Completion

1. Pre-Construction Planning & Value Engineering

Electrical contractors assist general contractors during planning by reviewing drawings, identifying cost-saving opportunities, recommending energy-efficient materials, and resolving potential conflicts before construction begins.

2. Scheduling & Trade Coordination

Large projects require tight coordination between trades such as plumbing, HVAC, framing, and fire protection. Fowler Electric works with GCs to sequence work properly, prevent delays, and maintain steady progress.

3. Installation & Quality Control

Our electricians install wiring, panels, lighting, and electrical infrastructure while adhering to NFPA, NEC, and local Nevada code requirements. Quality control checks ensure systems meet both performance and safety standards.

4. Inspections, Testing & Commissioning

Before project close-out, we test electrical systems, coordinate inspections with local authorities, and verify that everything meets operational and compliance standards.

5. Long-Term Support & Maintenance

We don’t disappear after project completion. Fowler Electric continues supporting GCs and property owners with maintenance, upgrades, and service calls, ensuring long-term reliability.
