New construction. Rough to finish.

New residential and small-commercial construction. Rough-in (boxes, conductors, panel pre-wire), finish (devices, fixtures, labeling), generator-ready service, EV-ready garage circuits, solar-ready conduit chase. Coordinated with the GC schedule so we don’t hold up other trades.

Service Overview

Build for the home you will actually own.

Most new construction electrical is sized to minimum code, not to how the home will actually be used over its life. Then four years later the owner adds a heat pump, an EV, a hot tub, and a home office, and the panel is full. A modest upgrade in the budget at new-build time saves an expensive panel upgrade later.

Our new-construction scope is full-lifecycle: pre-construction electrical design (working with the GC and architect on panel placement, service size, circuit count, and any future-proofing decisions), rough-in (boxes set, conductors pulled to every device location, panel pre-wired, ground rods driven), and finish (devices installed, fixtures hung, panel labeled, inspector walked).

The future-proofing decisions we routinely recommend on every new build: oversize the service to 200A minimum even if 100A would code-pass (the cost delta is small and the future flexibility is large), pre-wire a NEMA 14-50 outlet in the garage even if there’s no EV today, run a 4-inch conduit chase from the basement to the roof for future solar, and pre-wire the panel for a Generac whole-home generator transfer switch even if the generator isn’t in scope. None of these are expensive at new-build time; all of them are expensive after the fact.

We work directly for general contractors as the electrical sub on multi-trade builds. We hit the schedule, we don’t hold up other trades, we keep our materials and tools cleaned up at end of shift, and we don’t make the GC chase us for paperwork. We carry million-dollar general liability and full worker’s comp.

What’s Included

New-construction scope.

Pre-construction electrical design

Working with the GC and architect on panel placement, service size, circuit count, and future-proofing. Better to spend an hour pre-design than rework after rough-in.

Rough-in

Boxes set per the plan, conductors pulled to every device location, panel pre-wired, ground rods driven, service-entrance rough complete. Inspection-ready when the framer is done.

Finish

Devices installed, fixtures hung, panel populated, every breaker labeled to the circuit, GFCI and AFCI tested, inspector walked through. Hand-off ready when the painter is done.

EV-ready, generator-ready, solar-ready

NEMA 14-50 in the garage, panel pre-wired for a transfer switch, 4-inch conduit chase to the roof for future solar. all standard recommendations on every new build, none expensive in pre-construction.

Smart-home pre-wire

Cat6 home runs from a central location to every TV, office, and access point spot. Conduit drops for future fiber, HDMI, or low-voltage. Built-in flexibility for whatever smart-home platform the owner picks.

GC coordination

We hit the schedule. We don’t hold up other trades. We clean up at end of shift. We don’t make the GC chase us for COIs or certified payroll. Standard part of how we run commercial-residential GC subcontracting.

Text or call us first

Describe the job. We follow up with a phone chat to scope it, then we send your quote. Same-day for most residential.

Step 02

On-site walk-through

For larger jobs, we come out, look at the panel, and talk through what you actually want. Free. No “let me get back to you.”

Step 03

Itemized quote

Every line item priced. Materials, labor, permit, inspection. You see exactly where the dollars go before you sign anything.

Step 04

Job day · permits handled

We pull permits, coordinate with the county inspector, and arrive when we said we would. We protect your floors. We label every breaker. We test every circuit before we leave.

Step 05

New construction electrical in East Tennessee
“

Volt Pro was our electrical sub on three new builds in 2025. They hit every rough-in deadline, no callbacks on inspection, sent the certified payroll without me asking, and the panels were the cleanest finish work my super has seen on a residential.

Common Questions

Five things we get asked every week.

Do you work directly for general contractors?
Yes. Most of our new-construction work is direct subcontracting to residential and small-commercial GCs in the East Tennessee corridor. We hit your schedule, we don’t hold up other trades, and we send the paperwork (COIs, lien waivers, certified payroll where required) on time without you chasing it.
Do you do new construction for owner-builders?
Yes. If you’re acting as your own GC, we work directly with you the same way we would a GC. The difference is we may be more involved in coordinating with other trades since you may not have done that before. we’re used to that and it doesn’t bother us.
What does new-construction electrical cost?
Quoted per project, on a per-square-foot basis for residential. Two things move that rate: whether the build is code-minimum or future-proofed with the EV, generator, and solar-ready additions, and the device count per room. Commercial is quoted per scope against the drawings.
What is the timeline from rough-in to finish?
30-90 days is typical for residential, dictated by the rest of the build schedule. Rough-in is 1-2 weeks; finish is 1-2 weeks; the time in between is drywall, paint, trim, and the other finish trades. We sequence to be in and out cleanly so we’re not in the way.
Should I future-proof the electrical even if I am not planning solar or EV?
Yes, if the budget has any room in it. The future-proof additions (oversize service, NEMA 14-50 in garage, conduit chase to roof, panel pre-wire for transfer switch) are cheap while the walls are open and the crew is already on site. Retrofitting the same four things after the home is finished runs several times that, because it means opening finished walls and a second mobilization. The economics overwhelmingly favor doing them now.
