Clear scheduling, clean rough in, and a finished product that is easy for the next person to work on. We build to the plan, hit the dates, and leave a system the inspector signs without a list.
Every trade on a jobsite is waiting on somebody. Framing waits on the slab, drywall waits on rough in, and the whole calendar bends around whoever misses their window. A new construction electrician who shows up late, leaves an incomplete rough, or fails an inspection does not just cost a day. It costs the drywall crew, the insulation date, and the closing you promised somebody.
That is the standard we hold ourselves to. Silver Star Electric has been doing new construction electrical work across Utah County since 2008, on custom homes, spec builds, multifamily and commercial shells alike. We show up when we said, we build it right the first time, and we communicate before a problem becomes your problem.
Every job here is run by a licensed electrician, and we are an electrical contractor with our own crews. That matters on a build, because when the builder moves a date, the answer comes from the people actually swinging the hammer rather than a scheduler three states away.
Before anyone digs, we go through the prints, catch what is going to hurt later, and size the service to the building's real electrical needs. Panel location, service size, circuit counts, load calculations, kitchen and laundry requirements, code items the architect assumed rather than specified. Ten minutes here saves a change order in a later construction phase.
For custom builds we walk the framed shell with the owner or the builder and mark every device on the studs. Where the bed goes, where the television lands, which side the trash can lives on. This is the single highest value hour of the whole project and it costs nothing.
Pedestal, panel and inspection so the trades have power and light from the first week.
Conduit, feeders, in slab runs, site lighting bases and anything that has to be right before concrete, because after the pour it is jackhammers and apologies.
Boxes set at consistent heights, home runs labeled, cable stapled and protected, plates where they belong, and the low voltage coordinated instead of an afterthought. Clean rough in is what makes the trim go fast, and the bulk of the electrical installation you will never see again happens right here.
Service, meter, main and subpanels sized for how the building will actually be used, not the minimum that passes. Electrical panel installation happens early so the other trades can plan around it.
Devices, plates, fixtures, fans, dimmers and controls, with every one of the electrical components installed and tested, with the panel directory filled out legibly.
We meet the inspector, handle corrections on the spot when they come up, and get the meter set so you can close.
Utah County builds a lot of houses, and no two builders want the same thing. Our new construction electrical services on the residential side cover all of it.
The fun ones and the demanding ones. Lighting plans that actually match the architecture, control systems, outdoor and landscape circuits, shops, hot tubs, snowmelt and casita feeds. We are comfortable working directly with a homeowner who cares about details, and comfortable telling them honestly when something is not worth the money.
Repeatable quality on a compressed calendar. We know how to run a subdivision without letting the twentieth house get sloppier than the first.
Unit metering, house panels, common area and life safety coordination, and a rough in sequence that keeps the stacking straight.
New home construction rules apply to the new square footage, and the tie in to the existing electrical system is where most of the thinking happens.
Every residential electrician service we run includes the things builders forget to ask for and homeowners are grateful to have. Arc fault and ground fault protection where required, tamper resistant devices, a labeled panel, capacity left in the enclosure for what comes next, and enough dedicated circuits that nobody is running an extension cord through a doorway on move in day.
A commercial new construction electrical service runs on a different rhythm than a house, and we staff it that way.
Service entrance, distribution, house panels, exterior and parking lot lighting, and the coordination with the utility that determines whether you energize on time.
Offices, clinics, restaurants, retail and salons, where the electrical needs of the tenant rarely match what the shell was built to deliver.
Three phase distribution, motor circuits, VFDs, welders, compressors, overhead doors and equipment feeds sized off real nameplate data rather than a guess.
Hood interlocks, appliance feeds, dedicated circuits and the inspection coordination that comes with them.
High bay lighting layouts, occupancy controls, EV charger installation for fleet or employee parking, and infrastructure planned for the loads that arrive two years from now.
Commercial work runs on documentation and sequencing. We show up to the meetings, we mark up the drawings, we track the RFIs that touch our scope, and we do not let an eight week gear lead time become a discovery in week seven.
The best electrician on a job is the one you stop having to think about.
Detailed, scoped and back to you inside 24 to 48 hours on most projects, with the assumptions written down so nobody argues later about what was included.
We tell you what we need and when, and we tell you early if something slips. A general contractor should never have to chase their electrician for a status update.
Our rough in passes. When a jurisdiction has a local preference or an amendment, we already know it, because we work in these cities every week.
HVAC, plumbing and low voltage all want the same bay. We solve that at rough in rather than cutting somebody's duct at trim.
Temporary power through final inspection, plus the electrical repair calls and warranty items after closing, handled by the same crew that built it.
If the plan changes, you get a price before we do the electrical work, not after.
The house passes either way. Two years in, they do not feel the same.
None of that is exotic. It is what a skilled electrician does out of habit and what an experienced electrician does when nobody is looking, and it is the difference between new construction wiring that ages well and new construction wiring that generates service calls.
Plans in, questions asked, scope written, number back to you fast.
Panel location, service size, and any long lead gear identified before it becomes a schedule problem.
Set, inspected and available for the other trades.
Everything that has to happen before concrete.
Boxes, cable, home runs, panel set. We invite the walkthrough here so changes cost twenty dollars instead of two thousand.
We meet the inspector. Corrections, if any, get handled that day.
Devices, fixtures, gear and controls. Everything labeled and tested.
Meter set, power on, and a walkthrough with whoever is taking the keys.
We are still here. Warranty items, additions, and the emergency electrician call at ten at night when a tenant reports something strange are all handled by the same company.
Our shop is in Pleasant Grove and we work the entire county, which currently has as much construction happening as any place in the state.
Home base, plus American Fork, Lehi, Highland, Alpine, Cedar Hills and Lindon. Custom builds on the benches, tight infill lots downtown, and the commercial and tech buildings going up around Thanksgiving Point and the Silicon Slopes corridor.
Student housing and multifamily near the universities, infill and teardown rebuilds in the older neighborhoods, commercial along the main corridors, and Vineyard, which has gone from empty steel mill site to one of the fastest growing cities in Utah with entire districts under construction at once.
Springville, Mapleton, Spanish Fork, Salem, Payson, Santaquin, Elk Ridge and Woodland Hills. Larger lots, custom homes with shops and outbuildings, agricultural service, and the steady subdivision growth pushing south along the I-15 corridor.
Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain, where the growth has been relentless for a decade. Tract volume, long feeder runs, and the commercial and data center development that follows the rooftops.
Genola, Goshen, Cedar Fort, Fairfield, plus Benjamin, Lake Shore, West Mountain, Spring Lake, Elberta and Birdseye, the Utah County side of Draper, and the cabin builds toward Sundance. Long service runs, well and pump circuits, and outbuildings that need a real plan rather than an extension cord.
Every jurisdiction inspects a little differently. Working here since 2008 means we know which ones want what, and that knowledge shows up as fewer corrections and fewer lost days.
At plans, not at framing. Every new construction project is cheapest to change on paper, and the electrical layout decisions that get made without us are the ones that cost money to undo.
Yes. Some owners run their own build, and we are comfortable in that arrangement. We will still coordinate with your general contractor and the other trades exactly the same way.
It depends on square footage, appliances, heating type and the electrical needs you expect to have in ten years. We run the calculation rather than defaulting, and we usually recommend leaving room in the panel for the things people add later.
Yes. Multiple houses in sequence is a scheduling exercise more than an electrical one, and it is work we have done for years.
Always. Permits and inspection coordination are part of our scope, and we are on site when the inspector walks it.
Usually 24 to 48 hours once we have plans. Larger commercial projects take longer, and we will tell you up front how long we need.
The relationship continues. Service work, additions, troubleshooting, faulty wiring found in someone else's remodel down the road, and the occasional emergency service call. Same crew, same standard.
Whether it is one custom house, forty lots, or a commercial shell with a tenant waiting, we will look at it and get you a real number quickly. Plenty of electrical contractors pick one lane and stay in it. Our electrical contractor services cover custom homes, subdivisions and commercial buildouts from the same shop, and our electrical contracting services run from the temp pedestal to the meter set. Silver Star Electric is a residential electrical contractor and a commercial electrician in one place, licensed, insured and veteran owned, working across Utah County since 2008.
