Daikin has trusted us with the full electrical scope on its new 55,000-square-foot facility in Verona, Virginia, and a project like this is exactly where our team does its best work. Our crew is in the early stages right now, setting the groundwork that every later phase depends on.
"It's nice to be put on a big project like this. It shows your company has faith in you to get it done, and it makes you feel pretty proud once you get it done correctly and everything runs smoothly," said Aaron Andes, the foreman on the Daikin job.

Why the Early Work Matters Most
While the slab is open and the walls are framing, our crew is placing conduit and setting the paths the whole system will follow. Getting that groundwork right the first time means fewer surprises during finish work, and it keeps every trade behind us on track.
"It's really important for us to get our job done correctly, so everybody else can follow along behind and make their work easier too," Andes said.

How the Job Comes Together
Our part of the project moves in a clear order:
Slab work first, placing conduit and underground runs before the concrete is poured
Rough-in once the steel is set, framing out the walls and setting equipment
Conduit and MC cable run through the walls, with wire pulled to each location
Transformers, panels, and equipment set and wired
Lights dropped into the ceilings and devices trimmed out to finish the space
Once we wrap the current slab phase, our steel crew will set the structural steel, and our electrical crew will return in a couple of months to carry out the next stage.
