Building Construction, Remodeling, and Project Development
You begin with electrical design planning that coordinates electrical systems and components to applicable electrical standards, with provisions for clear pathways for future expansion. When handling new build wiring, you specify wiring requirements, protection systems, fault-current parameters, and earthing requirements to ensure regulatory approval and protection. When updating existing systems, you evaluate existing circuits, correct legacy hazards (such as aluminum terminations, undersized neutrals, GFCI/AFCI gaps), and document code compliance prior to re-energizing.
Electrical Layout Planning
Throughout the planning and execution process, electrical design planning establishes the critical groundwork for compliant and secure construction and remodeling projects. Work begins with a rigorous load calculation to size services, feeders, and panels. Then map circuits to optimize load distribution and minimize voltage losses. Engineers validate clearances, grounding, bonding and safety system integration to ensure compliance and safety. Using coordinated planning, you manage system energization and power transfers to prevent downtime and protect workers.
You select short-circuit ratings, protective device coordination, and distribution architecture to maintain selective tripping. You establish conductor sizing, conduit fill, and derating for environmental and bundling conditions. You document panel schedules, one-lines, and sequence-of-operations for regulatory approval and compliance reviews, incorporating emergency power, egress illumination, and life-safety systems without compromise.

How to Assess Service Providers: Credentials, Reviews, and References
Even with a clear scope and price, you should verify the expertise and responsibility of your contractor. Verify they maintain current electrical licensing for Alberta and maintain current liability insurance and WCB coverage. Ask about who handles Electrical permits; the contractor must pull permits and book necessary inspections. Make certain to validate trade qualifications, apprenticeship credentials, and equipment certifications for installed systems.
Perform safety verifications: ask for a clear safety record, safety certification status, and safety incident records. Examine previous projects involving similar voltage, load, and occupancy classification. Verify references - call them - and discuss code compliance, inspection success rates, change order management, and punch-list closure. Review online ratings for workmanship, schedule adherence, and cleanup. Request written documentation for safety lockout procedures, arc-flash labeling, and as-built documentation before awarding the contract.
