Morning guys! I am posting in from the state of Georgia and wanted to introduce myself. About a year and a half ago, I decided to leave a PM position at an energy services company to step into the field. I joined my brother in laws commercial electrical company to learn the trade but also help with bidding, business development and project management. Excited to see what I can learn from y'all!

Finally built this up for myself

Hello everyone, I’m new to the group I have been in the trade since I was 18 years old (2016) I have spent most of my career doing large industrial projects at dams, paper mills, saw mills. Spent a few years doing substation/utility maintenance, currently working on data centers. I have been weighing my options want to start a shop soon hopefully some conversations on here will help me and the rest of us have a bright future.

Share any tips you guys have on getting commercial new Construction!

How is everyone doing? Give us an update on your business as we approach the end of summer! I'll go first - 2026 was a difficult year for us. We were EXTREMELY slow for most of the year. Finances took a huge hit and it's very tight right now. We shifted our bidding focus around a little bit this summer and finally we were able to start landing jobs again. We have $1.1million lined up thru April! A huge restaurant, a job for the military, a large office space remodel, and some commercial shell buildings. I just posted a new Youtube Video where I talk for 45 minutes straight about what is involved in Commercial Electrical Contracting. Check it out if you're interested. https://youtu.be/eU9Ecpj7jUg
