New Construction Wiring.

The electrical in a new home is a hundred decisions that are cheap on paper and expensive after drywall. We come in early — panel sizing, circuit layout, lighting design, EV and generator readiness — then deliver clean rough-ins and finals that pass inspection the first time.

Decisions worth making before drywall

Two-hundred-amp service even if today’s loads don’t demand it. Conduit stubs for the EV charger and the future array. A generator interlock while the panel is open. Lighting circuits designed for how rooms are used, not just code minimums. Every one of these costs a fraction at rough-in of what it costs later — our design review catches them while they’re cheap.

A sub your builder can schedule around

Rough-in when framing is ready, not a week after. Inspections booked ahead, walkthroughs before cover, and finals that don’t hold up the CO. We build for GCs and owner-builders across the region, and repeat business is the whole model.

Working with your builder, from plans to punch list

Good new-construction electrical is mostly logistics: being on site when framing is ready, roughing in clean and labeled, passing the cover inspection on the first walk, and never being the trade the schedule waits on. The GCs we work with keep calling because the electrical line on their schedule behaves — bids come back on time and scoped line by line, RFIs get answered same-day, and our rough-ins photograph well enough that more than one builder has used them in marketing.

For owner-builders, we add a layer of translation: we'll walk the plans with you, explain the choices in plain language, and flag the decisions worth making before drywall — because on a new build, the cheapest week to change anything electrical is always this week.

Building for the Adirondack site

New construction here comes with terrain. Long driveways mean underground service runs and trenching coordination. Remote sites raise the generator and solar conversations early, while the excavator is still on site. Camps and lake houses add dock feeds, boathouse power, and exterior lighting that respects the dark sky. And every build gets our climate defaults: service sized for electrification, conduit stubs to the garage and roof, heat-tape circuits designed in rather than stapled on later.

The result is a house that doesn't need its first electrical retrofit five years in — because the next decade's projects were roughed in while the walls were open.

New Construction Wiring: questions we hear

When should the electrician get involved in a new build?
At design, before permits if possible. Service sizing, meter placement, and utility coordination shape the site plan, and future-proofing decisions are nearly free on paper. If framing has started, call today — the next-cheapest moment is now.
What size service should a new home have?
For most new builds here: 200 amps minimum, with the load calculation deciding whether heat pumps, EV charging, and accessory buildings push it higher. Nobody has ever regretted the larger panel at rough-in prices.
Can you rough in for things we’ll add later?
That’s the smartest money in the project — empty conduit to the garage for a charger, a chase to the roof for solar, boxes for future exterior lighting. Hundreds now versus thousands after siding and drywall.
Do you handle the utility connection for a new build in the Tri-Lakes area?
Yes — new-service applications, meter placement, trench specs for underground service, and inspection coordination. We know the local utility process and build it into the schedule.
Do you wire additions and major renovations too?
Constantly — additions, garage conversions, and gut renovations follow the same playbook: design input early, clean rough-in, tight coordination with the GC. See our renovation wiring page.
What does new-construction wiring cost?
Priced from your plans as a complete scope — service, rough-in, devices, fixtures, low-voltage — so the number in your budget is the number. Allowances only where you genuinely haven’t chosen finishes yet.
