What this covers

New Construction Wiring in Broward & Palm Beach

General contractors keep us on the shortlist because we hit dates and pass inspections. We show up at the GC coordination meeting, we do our own permit work, and we don't slow down the drywall crew because our rough-in isn't done. If you're building your own home, that same rhythm applies — with the added benefit that we'll explain every decision in plain English.

What's included

  • Full electrical rough-in for new construction (plans-to-permits-to-power-on)
  • GC coordination — attend the framing walk, meet drywall on schedule
  • Load calculations, panel schedules, service size sizing
  • Interior + exterior lighting design collaboration with your designer
  • Structured wiring: CAT6, coax, HDMI runs, in-wall speaker runs
  • Smart home rough-in (neutrals in every switch box, WAP drops)
  • Fire alarm rough-in coordination for townhomes and multi-family
  • Trim-out, device install, and final inspection

When to call us

You're planning a new home and want an electrical spec

We meet at the plans stage — before the framer starts — so we can catch missing outlets, wrong circuit assignments, and undersized panels before they cost money.

Your last electrician can't hit your framing walk

We can drop in mid-project. Bring us the plans, we'll walk the site, and give you a fixed price on the remaining work.

You're building a duplex or small multi-family

Separate meters, shared risers, common-area circuits — we've done the config a hundred times.

Common questions

Do you work directly with GCs on progress billing?

Yes. Standard schedule of values, monthly draws, lien waivers on demand. We invoice through your GC's preferred format (Procore, PlanGrid, email PDF).

How far in advance should we book you for rough-in?

Ideally as soon as the framer's schedule is set. We hold slots 4-6 weeks out. If you're calling us the week before rough-in, we can usually still make it work — call and we'll be honest about it.

New Construction Electrical Wiring for South Florida Builds

Edwin's Electric handles permit work, rough-in scheduling, and GC coordination for ground-up residential and light commercial projects across Broward and Palm Beach counties.

What New Construction Wiring Looks Like in Broward and Palm Beach

Building in South Florida comes with a specific set of constraints that affect every electrical scope. Broward County requires electrical permits to be pulled separately from the general building permit, meaning your electrician needs to be set up to pull their own work — not ride under a GC's umbrella. Palm Beach County inspections are scheduled through the county's online portal, and inspectors in both counties flag jobs where load calculations don't account for the local cooling load, which in this climate is substantial year-round.

Homes in coastal ZIP codes — from Boca Raton south through Fort Lauderdale — are increasingly built to Miami-Dade or Broward's high-velocity hurricane zone (HVHZ) standards, which affect how conduit and service entrances are spec'd and secured. Planned communities in western Broward cities like Weston, Parkland, and Coral Springs often have HOA electrical standards layered on top of county code, covering everything from meter location to exterior fixture approval.

We operate across both counties regularly and coordinate permit submissions, inspection scheduling, and GC milestone timing as part of the base scope — not as extras that slow the job down.

Where We Add Value Before the Framer Leaves

The most expensive electrical decisions in a new construction project are made — or missed — at the plans stage. A panel sized too small for a future EV charger, a missing circuit in the outdoor kitchen, or switch legs that don't account for smart-home neutral requirements all become change orders once drywall is up. We read the plans before the framing walk and flag those gaps early.

For builders running multiple projects, we support standard GC billing formats including Procore and PlanGrid, issue lien waivers on request, and schedule rough-in around framing milestones rather than asking the GC to work around us. That's the practical reason we stay on contractor shortlists — the timeline holds.

For homeowners building their own homes, the same process applies, with the added step of walking you through what the electrical plan actually means: where circuits land, why certain panel sizes make sense for your square footage and appliance load, and what rough-in decisions are hard to reverse later.

Common questions

When in the build process should we bring in an electrician?
The earlier the better — ideally at the plans stage, before the framer starts. That's when it's inexpensive to add circuits, move panel locations, or resize the service entrance. If you're mid-project and the current electrician isn't working out, we can step in: bring us the plans, we'll walk the site, and give you a clear picture of where things stand and what finishing the scope involves.
Do you handle the electrical permit, or does the GC pull it?
We pull our own electrical permit in both Broward and Palm Beach counties. That means we're responsible for submitting the correct documentation, scheduling inspections, and resolving any correction notices — it doesn't sit on the GC's plate. This is standard for licensed electrical contractors in Florida and keeps the inspection record clean under the right license.
What's typically included in a new construction electrical scope?
A full scope covers load calculations, permit drawings, rough-in wiring, panel installation, all device and fixture trim-out, and the final inspection. Structured wiring — data, coax, audio — and smart-home rough-in are often added at the same time since the walls are open. The exact scope depends on the plans, square footage, and what the GC or homeowner specifies; we build the quote from the actual drawings rather than square-foot averages.

Bringing us in at the plans stage costs nothing extra and prevents the change orders that show up after framing.
