A Bit About Us

Founded in 1981 as a non-union electrical contracting firm to penetrate and capitalize on the need for quality electrical contracting services in the commercial construction industry of Los Angeles. We have been building upon our reputation as a “relationship” organization by concentrating on the private tenant improvement and ground-up commercial projects with a select list of clients.

The Company emerged in the early 1990s as a major player in the market successfully completing projects ranging from $100,000 to $12,000,000. The Company continued to build its operating and financial strength throughout the 1990s, capitalizing on the “dot-com boom” for electrical contractors, peaking at over 400 employees.

With the Internet crash impacting the construction industry, the Company retrenched to our core business and continued to build our market share in commercial, healthcare, hospitality, public works and high-rise residential segments. We continue to expand our client base with a list of notable clients while emphasizing its core business model; the repeat customer.
