Rewiring, panel upgrades, lighting, and power distribution for commercial renovation projects across Greater Vancouver — permitted, on schedule, and built around your business hours.
Commercial renovation electrical work looks different depending on who's leading the project. We understand the priorities of each party — and we work accordingly.
You're renovating your space and need the electrical to match your new layout — without a shutdown that costs you business.
You need a reliable electrical sub-contractor who shows up on time, coordinates with other trades, and doesn't create problems on your job site.
You're upgrading a commercial unit between tenants — or preparing it for a new use — and need the electrical brought up to code before occupancy.
From rough-in to final inspection — full electrical scope for offices, retail, restaurants, clinics, and mixed-use commercial spaces.
Circuits routed to match your new floor plan — outlets, switches, dedicated equipment feeds, and data rough-in. Designed around how your space will actually be used.
Upgrading to a larger panel or adding a subpanel to support new equipment loads — HVAC, kitchen equipment, EV chargers, or additional circuits. Full TSBC documentation included.
New fixture installation, track lighting, pot lights, and LED panel retrofits. Designed for the right brightness and colour temperature for your space — office, retail, or food service.
Isolated circuits for commercial kitchen equipment, rooftop HVAC units, medical devices, server rooms, or any equipment requiring dedicated power — sized correctly from the start.
Code-compliant emergency lighting and exit sign installation for commercial occupancies. Required under BC Building Code for most commercial spaces — we handle installation and inspection.
BC Building Code RequiredConduit and rough-in for data cabling, structured wiring, security systems, and AV — coordinated with your IT or AV contractor so everything is in the right place before walls close.
We pull the permit, coordinate TSBC or city electrical inspections, and provide the signed inspection record — everything needed for your occupancy permit or lease handover.
Permits IncludedUpgrading or replacing outdated wiring found during renovation — aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube remnants, or undersized circuits that won't support today's loads. Assessed and documented before work begins.
Commercial renovation timelines are tight. We structure our process to fit your construction schedule — from early rough-in coordination to final inspection before occupancy.
We walk the space with you before work begins — at no charge. We review the existing panel, identify what needs upgrading, and understand your new layout requirements.
You receive a written quote with a clear scope before any work starts. Once approved, we apply for the electrical permit — you don't need to deal with the permit office.
We work within your renovation timeline — coordinating with your GC and other trades, completing rough-in before walls close, and returning for trim-out once finishing is done.
We coordinate the final electrical inspection and provide the signed inspection record — ready for your occupancy permit application or landlord handover package.
Our FSR Class B licence means we can supervise and certify commercial electrical work directly — which is what BC regulations require for most commercial renovation projects.
We apply for the electrical permit, manage the inspection process, and hand you the signed record. You don't need to figure out the permit office — we take care of it.
Evenings and weekends available when your space can't go dark during business hours. We plan the installation sequence so your disruption is as short as possible.
We're set up to work as your electrical sub — coordinating directly with your site super, providing documentation for your project file, and fitting your construction schedule.
Yes — in most cases. In BC, an electrical permit is required any time you add new circuits, relocate wiring, install new fixtures, upgrade a panel, or make significant changes to the electrical system in a commercial space. This applies whether or not the space is being fully gutted.
The permit triggers a mandatory inspection by TSBC or your city's electrical department. The signed inspection record is typically required before the building inspector will issue an occupancy permit.
We handle the permit application and inspection scheduling — so this process doesn't fall on you or your general contractor to figure out.
Yes. For occupied commercial spaces — restaurants, retail, medical offices — we offer evening and weekend scheduling to minimize the impact on your operating hours.
We'll plan the installation sequence so the most disruptive work (panel work, main circuit runs) happens when your space is closed. We don't charge a premium for after-hours scheduling on commercial renovation projects — it's part of how we work with businesses.

We're set up to work as a sub-contractor on commercial renovation projects. Our typical coordination process:
GCs can reach us by phone or text at 778-302-7060. We can also review drawings and provide a sub-contracting quote early in your planning process.
An FSR (Field Safety Representative) Class B licence is issued by Technical Safety BC and authorizes the holder to supervise and certify electrical work in commercial buildings — not just residential properties.
In practical terms, this means:
Many electricians hold only residential certification. If your project is a commercial space and you need a signed inspection record for your occupancy permit, FSR Class B is the right credential to look for in your electrician.
Yes — and we recommend it. Older commercial spaces often have wiring that looked fine until walls opened, and discovering problems mid-renovation is expensive and disruptive.
Before you finalize your renovation scope and budget, we can:
The initial site visit is free. Finding problems before work starts gives you options — finding them after drywall is up does not.
