Regardless of the project size, Capital Electric offers best in class services and support for project management. We will help your project team complete projects in a timely and profitable basis through our partnerships with premier suppliers and their technical teams, strong technical expertise of our trained product specialists, our use of state-of-the-art product innovations and related support tools and our logistics capabilities.

Access to Premier Suppliers and Technical Support

Capital Electric does business with thousands of vendors and has product stocking relationships with over 600 of the most recognizable suppliers of lighting systems, electrical distribution apparatus products and related materials.
Having access to these suppliers and their products is just the first step. We ensure these products are technically supported, whether it be during the design, approval, or build out phases of any project by assisting architects and engineers with specification information and product functionality. We also work with contractors to provide assistance while installing or starting-up the products.

Project Management Services

The success of a project, regardless of size, is directly tied to job planning and ongoing management. Our staff of experienced project managers works closely with your team from start to finish.

These services include:


Submittal Completion
Once the job is awarded, detailed submittals must be completed that are tied to the approved project architectural plans. They provide information about the products on the plan. The review and approval of these submittals ensures that the order is correct. These submittals are updated to include any product changes during the project.


Detailed Ship Schedules
Ensure that products are ordered on a timely basis with estimated lead times and delivery dates.


Ongoing Project Management
Tracks shipments to make sure the right products are shipped on-time, arrive undamaged, and are billed properly according to project requirements.


Risk Planning
In the event that a product does arrive late or damaged, our systems and processes are designed to mitigate these risks and to get the project back on-track according to schedule. Effective communication is always the key.


Project Closeout Support
At the customer's request, we create post-job operations and maintenance manuals.
