Design-Build

Expert Electrical Design Build Contractors with over 35 years of experience in commercial, industrial, and residential projects.

Electrical Design Build Contractors

From the initial concept and design all the way to completion, the electrical design build contractors at Prairie Electric has the staff resources to see any facility design or upgrade to completion. We do so with a fully-staffed Engineering Department that works closely with clients on design-build projects.

Image of a large warehouse with high shelves storing boxes. A forklift is in operation, and several red bins are visible. The space, possibly maintained by a Vancouver electrician, has a high ceiling with industrial lighting.

We have a team in place of designers and engineers who are all licensed in Washington and Oregon. Their electrical design build expertise in virtual construction and conflict management—notably within Revit and Building Information Modeling (BIM)—makes them the premier team to handle projects large and small.

For projects with all sorts of overlapping trades, we’re relied upon to take the lead in all matters of clash detection, 3D modeling, and computer design-assist projects. By learning, and then implementing, the newest software, we’re able to stay on top of the latest trends in commercial electrical design.

The industrial room, with its complex piping system, large blue machinery, and orange safety railings, showcases the meticulous work of an electrician. Overhead fluorescent lights efficiently illuminate the clean and well-organized space.
