Service overview

Commercial New Construction Electrical, From Rough-In to Final Inspection

New construction electrical is more than pulling wire. It requires precise coordination across trades, a deep understanding of commercial code requirements, and the ability to adapt as plans evolve on the job site. At Kohl Electrical Services, we've been doing this for over a decade and have completed 900+ commercial projects across southeastern Wisconsin.

We handle the full electrical scope on new commercial builds: service entrance and utility coordination, distribution and panel installation, branch circuit rough-in, lighting systems, low voltage pre-wiring, and final connections. Every installation is done to code, backed by our quality assurance process, and coordinated tightly with your GC schedule to avoid delays.

We work with general contractors on office buildings, warehouses, retail centers, medical facilities, restaurants, industrial facilities, and multi-tenant commercial developments. If you're looking for an electrical subcontractor who shows up, communicates clearly, and delivers clean work — that's us.

FAQs

Have questions about commercial new construction electrical? Here are the ones we hear most often from general contractors and project owners in the Milwaukee area.

What types of commercial new construction projects does Kohl handle?

We handle the full range of commercial new construction — office buildings, warehouses and distribution centers, retail and restaurant buildouts, medical and dental facilities, multi-tenant commercial developments, and industrial facilities. If it's commercial and it needs power, we've done it.

Do you work directly with general contractors?

Yes — the majority of our new construction work comes through GC relationships. We're set up to work as your electrical subcontractor, coordinating directly with your project manager from pre-construction through final walkthrough. We understand job site schedules, submittal processes, and RFI workflows.

Can you handle both the electrical and low voltage rough-in during new construction?

Yes. We handle both power and low voltage systems, which means your GC only needs one point of contact for the full electrical and low voltage scope. This simplifies coordination and ensures everything is rough-in-ready at the same time.

How far in advance should we bring Kohl in on a new construction project?

The earlier the better. We prefer to be involved during the design phase so we can provide value engineering input, review electrical drawings for constructability, and get our material procurement in motion. That said, we can step into projects at any phase and get up to speed quickly.
