Is your business considering a complete office renovation? Are you in the middle of deciding which contractors you should partner with for your project? Is whittling down your options of commercial electrical contractors a task you’ve been avoiding due to not knowing what qualities to look for?

 

Well, look no further. Below are the five qualities you can use to identify the difference between a so-so electrical contractor and a superior one.

 

Experience 

Experience is a non-negotiable when it comes to choosing an appropriate electrical contractor. Does the contractor work in the commercial sphere? Do they have years of successful projects that attest to their knowledge? Is the entire team experienced in commercial work or is that sector outside the company’s specific niche? All of these questions need to be considered when finalizing who will fulfill your needs.

 

We at Wilson & Cofield, for example, work in several spheres including infrastructure and industrial on wastewater treatment plants. However, we also have over three decades of experience in the commercial sphere with new construction, remodels, and upfits for educational institutions, offices, retail, restaurants, and churches. Along with our extensive list of projects, our technicians have over forty-five years of combined in-field experience. And our estimators constantly work with high volume projects that always contain accurate pricing.

 

Reliability 

Now your list is whittled down to contractors that have the experience. The next question to ask is will they follow through with what they committed to for the project? Reliability will be the make-or-break for most projects moving forward at the specified schedule, so you want to make sure you partner with a contractor that will remain consistent and committed to the very end.

 

Wilson & Cofield takes reliability seriously. From the beginning with the accuracy of bids and takeoffs to the delivery of goods in a timely manner, we are committed to our partners as we work through a project. We strive for consistency in production, output, and schedule management to ensure topnotch performances at optimal levels with other trades and the GC on site.

 

Attention to Detail

 You’ve scoured through your options and now know who is reliable and who isn’t. The third piece of consideration is whether the electrical contractor gives attention to the smallest of details. To ignore details is a sign of an unsafe and unorganized company.

 

The very first thing that Wilson & Cofield completes on any jobsite is to assess the project for all potential safety hazards. Taking the step to complete a job safety analysis guarantees that every component of the project is considered and precautions are put into place to ensure proper power connection procedures, such as lockout/tagout methods, are followed. Along with safety, attention to details are also essential for billings that accurately define the completion of work and in the plan execution for layouts and materials.

 

Competitive Prices

At this point, you will have a few options of commercial electrical contractors who are experienced, reliable, and attentive to the smallest details. This is where the price point piece comes into play. Making sure you are getting fair pricing is essential for any part of a business but is especially important when it comes to who you partner with for big projects like renovations.

 

We at Wilson & Cofield are committed in providing our partners with competitive pricing that is reflective of the scope of work. We are diligent in our pursuit for the best pricing from distributors. We maximize our volume for better pricing. And we look for energy saving alternatives that will be beneficial in the long run.

 

Excellent Customer Service

The final piece to consider when choosing your commercial electrical contractor is whether they excel with their customer service. Do they have a fluent communication from the office to the field? Are they accessible from the beginning to the end of a project? Is there a warranty period for when the project completes? Wilson & Cofield is a resounding “Yes!” for all of these questions and will go above and beyond for our partners in all areas.

 

As you consider your office renovation or other commercial electrical work, choose us at Wilson & Cofield. We strive to not only meet but exceed these qualities for every project we work on. Our clients can rest easy knowing that when we partner with them, all their commercial electrical contractor needs are superiorly met.
