Electrical Subcontracting for Builders & General Contractors
Bid from the plan set, scheduled against your dates, and on site when the framing is ready.
J.I.C. Electric works as the electrical subcontractor on residential and light commercial projects — plan review and bidding, rough-in, trim, change coordination and inspection.
What J.I.C. Takes On
Project-based electrical support, from bid review through final inspection.
Plan Review & Bidding
Electrical and architectural sheets reviewed, questions raised before the bid rather than after award.
Scoped Written Bids
Bids that state inclusions, exclusions and assumptions so the comparison is real.
Temporary Power
Site power set up and maintained through the build where required.
Electrical Rough-In
Boxes, cans, home runs and panel set during framing, coordinated with plumbing and HVAC.
Service & Meter Coordination
Service size, meter location and utility coordination handled with the jurisdiction and the utility.
Trim & Finish
Devices, fixtures, controls and legible panel labeling installed for walkthrough.
Change Order Coordination
Changes priced and documented in writing as they happen, not at closeout.
Inspection & Corrections
Rough, service and final inspections, with corrections carried to completion.
Multifamily & Light Commercial
Larger project types where the schedule and scope fit.

What Makes a Bid Fast and Accurate
The more of this arrives with the request, the faster you get a real number and a straight answer on availability.
- —Electrical, architectural and any mechanical sheets that affect routing.
- —New build, addition, remodel, multifamily or commercial, plus square footage or unit count.
- —Where the project is now, and when electrical is actually needed.
- —Target rough-in date and the drywall date behind it.
- —When you need the number, so it either arrives on time or you hear that it will not.
- —EV, HVAC, pool, shop, appliance packages — anything that changes the service size.
J.I.C. will tell you when a project is not a fit rather than bidding it and holding your schedule hostage.
Schedule reliability is the product
Builders do not rebid an electrician because the wire was wrong. They rebid because dates slipped. Approximately 20 years of construction electrical means the rough-in date accounts for the other trades and the inspection passes the first time.
Builder proof means project type, scope and a schedule that was actually met. These two completed builds show both — a two-unit infill trimmed on one inspection cycle, and a ground-up two-story home run from service to final.
Two-unit infill, separately metered
- Property / project type
- Two-unit modern infill on a single urban lot
- Electrical challenge
- Two metered services and two inspection scopes on one schedule
- Scope of work
- Separate metering and panels per unit, parallel rough-in, recessed and linear lighting, kitchen and laundry circuits, device layout around full-height glazing
- Result
- Both units trimmed and passed on the same inspection cycle
Ground-up two-story home
- Property / project type
- Two-story single-family new construction with attached garage
- Electrical challenge
- Splitting lighting and appliance loads cleanly across two floors on one service
- Scope of work
- Underground service and meter, load-calculated panel, full rough-in, recessed and fan layout, garage subfeed with EV provision, smoke and CO coverage
- Result
- Passed final inspection; garage pre-wired for a future vehicle charger
Builder Questions
How do you handle bidding?+
Send the plan set, the bid date and the schedule. You get a scoped written bid with inclusions and exclusions stated, or a straight answer that it is not a fit.
Can you hold a rough-in date?+
Dates are committed in writing once the project is scheduled, with the drywall date as the anchor.
How are change orders handled?+
Priced and documented in writing as they come up, so nothing arrives as a surprise at closeout.
Do you coordinate with other trades?+
Yes — routing is coordinated with plumbing and HVAC, and rough-in sequencing is planned with the superintendent.
Do you handle permits and inspections?+
Electrical permitting and inspections are handled as part of the scope, coordinated with the overall permit.
What project types fit best?+
Residential new construction, additions, ADUs, major remodels and light commercial. Multifamily depends on the schedule and scope.
