New Construction Electrical Installation Across Chicagoland

Building a new home, office, or facility requires electrical work that meets code and stays on schedule. We wire new construction projects from the ground up—rough-ins, service installations, final fixtures, and inspections. Licensed electricians who work with builders and contractors across Chicagoland to keep your project moving forward.

New construction electrical work affects everything that comes after it. Miss a rough-in inspection and the project stops. Run circuits incorrectly and you're tearing out drywall later. We handle electrical installations for new homes, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities across Chicagoland. From pulling permits to final inspections, we follow the construction timeline and coordinate with other trades. Last month we wired a new single-family home in Hoffman Estates. The builder needed rough-in completed before insulation could start. We arrived on schedule, installed all junction boxes and wiring according to plans, and passed inspection the next day. No delays, no callbacks. Builders and contractors call us because we know construction schedules are tight and our work doesn't slow down the job.

WHY HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE Quikwire Electric LLC for New Construction Electrical Installation

Construction projects run on tight timelines. We coordinate with general contractors, framers, and other trades to complete electrical work when needed. Rough-ins happen after framing inspection. Service installations happen before drywall. Final fixtures go in after painting. We show up when scheduled and finish on time so the next trade can start their work.

New construction electrical work requires proper licensing, permits, and inspections. We pull electrical permits, submit plans when required, and schedule inspections with local authorities. Our work meets Illinois electrical code for both residential and commercial properties. Inspectors know our installations pass because we follow code specifications exactly.

We've wired hundreds of new construction projects—single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, office complexes, retail spaces, and industrial facilities. We read architectural plans, calculate loads, size panels appropriately, and install systems that handle future expansion. New construction gets done right the first time because there's no existing system to work around.

New construction sites need temporary power for tools and equipment before permanent service gets installed. We coordinate with utility companies, install temporary panels, upgrade to permanent service when ready, and handle final meter installation. One electrician manages your entire electrical scope from permit to certificate of occupancy.

Our New Construction Electrical Installation Service Includes:

Residential New Construction Wiring

New homes in Schaumburg, Elgin, and surrounding areas need complete electrical systems installed from scratch. We handle rough-in wiring, service panel installation, outlet and switch placement, lighting circuits, and specialized circuits for appliances and HVAC equipment. We work directly with builders to ensure electrical placement matches floor plans and homeowner needs. Most single-family rough-ins take two to three days depending on square footage.

Commercial Building Electrical Installation

Office buildings, retail spaces, and restaurants require more complex electrical systems than homes. We install three-phase service, design lighting layouts for commercial spaces, wire data and communication systems, and handle emergency lighting and exit signs. Commercial projects require coordination with architects and engineers—we review plans, identify potential issues early, and complete installations that pass inspection.

Industrial Facility Electrical Systems

Manufacturing facilities and warehouses need heavy-duty electrical systems for equipment and machinery. We install high-voltage service, motor control centers, equipment disconnects, and distribution panels rated for industrial loads. Industrial electrical work follows stricter code requirements and safety standards. Our electricians have experience with 480V systems, transformer installations, and electrical layouts for production equipment.

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

How much does new construction electrical work cost?

Residential rough-ins typically cost $3-$8 per square foot depending on complexity and fixture count. Complete electrical packages for new homes run $8,000-$20,000. Commercial projects vary widely based on electrical demands—small retail spaces start around $15,000 while larger facilities cost $50,000 or more. We provide detailed quotes after reviewing plans.

How long does electrical installation take for new construction?

Single-family homes take one to two weeks for complete electrical installation spread across construction phases. Commercial buildings take several weeks to months depending on size and complexity. Rough-in work typically takes two to five days. Service installation takes one day. Finish work takes three to seven days.

Do you coordinate with other contractors on the job site?

Yes. We communicate with general contractors, framers, plumbers, and HVAC contractors to schedule our work around theirs. Electrical rough-in happens after framing but needs to coordinate with plumbing and HVAC rough-ins. We attend construction meetings when needed and adjust our schedule to keep the project moving forward.

What happens if electrical work fails inspection?

We correct any issues immediately and schedule re-inspection. Most inspections pass the first time because we follow code specifications and local requirements. If an inspector identifies a problem, we fix it the same day or next day and get it re-inspected. Delays get minimized and construction stays on schedule.
