Storefronts, offices, and restaurants carry different electrical demands than a house — heavier loads, code tied to occupancy type, and a build-out schedule where the electrical has to line up with every other trade on site. EMC handles the electrical side of commercial fit-outs directly, from panel work to lighting to the code corrections that turn up mid-build.
What A Commercial Fit-Out Covers
New build-outs before a space opens, panel work sized to commercial loads, lighting for retail, office, or restaurant space, and code corrections found during inspection or left behind by prior work. On a GC-managed project the electrical schedules alongside the other trades rather than waiting its turn separately.
What Drives The Cost Or Timeline
A small office suite and a restaurant kitchen with heavy equipment loads aren't in the same category. The condition of the existing panel, whether a prior tenant left undocumented work behind, and how the city's inspection schedule lines up with your opening date all move the timeline. Get a real scope after a walkthrough of the actual space.
Why Licensed Commercial Work Matters More, Not Less
Commercial spaces get inspected under commercial code, and an occupancy permit depends on passing that electrical inspection — there's no soft version of that requirement. It's common to find electrical work from a previous tenant that was never permitted; EMC flags it honestly, pulls the permit for the current scope, and gets it inspected so the space can actually open on schedule.

ANSWERS
COMMON QUESTIONS
Do you work on occupied commercial spaces or just new build-outs?
Both — new build-outs before a space opens, and electrical work on an occupied storefront or office scheduled around business hours when that's what the job calls for.
What if you find electrical work a previous tenant never permitted?
It happens more than you'd expect in older Boston commercial buildings. We flag it plainly, explain what it means for your inspection and occupancy permit, and fold the correction into the scope.
Can you handle the electrical alongside our general contractor?
Yes — and because EMC also does general contracting, the electrical, HVAC, and build-out can run under one company on projects where that fits better than coordinating separate contractors.
