Electrical Estimator

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. From its inception, we have been building upon its 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 1990’s 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 1990’s when it was able to capitalize on the “dot-com boom” for electrical contractors, peaking at over 400 employees.

With the Internet crash severely 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. The company moved to its present location in 1998 where the facilities have been continually expanded and improved for its increasing operations.

We have a culture of trust, teamwork, performance, and commitment that drives our success.
We pride ourselves in offering above industry average salaries based on talent and experience.
We believe good work should be rewarded and provide 401k matching and profit sharing.
We provide a wide variety of insurance options to meet you and your family’s needs.
