Electrical Design-Build Contractor in Las Vegas, Nevada
Commercial Electrical Design and Construction From One Team
Murphy Electric provides electrical Design-Build services for general contractors, developers, building owners, and commercial construction teams throughout Las Vegas and Southern Nevada.
Our full-time Design-Build Department works with the project team early in the planning process. We help develop an electrical system that fits the building, the construction budget, and the way the property will be used.
Murphy Electric has extensive experience with large warehouses, distribution facilities, industrial buildings, and commercial construction projects. We understand that the electrical system needs to work on paper, fit the budget, and make sense when it is time to build.
What Is Electrical Design-Build?
Electrical Design-Build brings electrical planning and electrical construction together.
Instead of waiting until a complete set of plans is finished, Murphy Electric can work with the contractor and design team during the planning stage. Our team coordinates with architectural, mechanical, plumbing, and other project professionals to help develop the electrical portion of the building.
Getting the electrical contractor involved early can help:
- Identify electrical needs before construction starts
- Improve coordination between building systems
- Find possible conflicts earlier
- Keep the electrical design in line with the project budget
- Improve constructability
- Reduce unnecessary redesign
- Plan for future electrical needs
- Move the project from design into construction more smoothly
The goal is simple: design an electrical system that can be built efficiently and perform the way the building needs it to perform.
Design-Build for Warehouses and Large
Commercial Buildings
Large warehouse and industrial projects have very different electrical needs than smaller commercial buildings.
A modern warehouse may need power for large HVAC systems, high-bay lighting, loading areas, office space, equipment, automation, communication systems, security systems, and future expansion.
Electrical planning may include:
- Electrical service and load planning
- Power distribution
- Switchgear and electrical panels
- Feeders and branch circuits
- Warehouse and high-bay lighting
- Lighting controls
- Power for HVAC and mechanical equipment
- Equipment and machinery power
- Loading dock electrical needs
- Exterior and site lighting
- Emergency and backup power where required
- Future expansion and added electrical capacity
Murphy Electric brings field construction experience into the design process. That helps the team look at not only what needs to be designed, but also how it will actually be installed.
Built for Las Vegas Commercial Construction
Las Vegas continues to grow as a center for warehousing, logistics, distribution, manufacturing, and other large commercial operations.
North Las Vegas and the I-15 corridor have become especially important for warehouse and industrial development. Areas such as Apex Industrial Park are attracting large distribution and industrial projects that can require major electrical infrastructure.
Murphy Electric serves projects throughout Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, and the surrounding Clark County area.
Local conditions also matter.
Las Vegas regularly sees summer temperatures above 100 degrees. Large buildings can have major cooling and electrical demands. Outdoor electrical equipment, long electrical runs, mechanical systems, lighting, and future power needs all need to be considered when planning a commercial electrical system.
Designing for Southern Nevada means understanding the building, its electrical demands, and the environment where the system will operate.
Helping General Contractors
Build Better Projects
Murphy Electric works with general contractors who need an experienced commercial electrical contractor involved before construction begins.
Early electrical involvement gives the contractor another experienced set of eyes during planning.
Our Design-Build team can review the project, coordinate with other trades, look at electrical costs, and help develop a practical electrical plan before crews reach the jobsite.
This is especially valuable on:
- Warehouse construction
- Distribution centers
- Industrial facilities
- Manufacturing buildings
- Large commercial buildings
- Retail and commercial developments
- Office and professional buildings
- New commercial construction
For contractors, Murphy Electric can provide continuity from electrical design through electrical construction.
Electrical Design With the Budget in Mind
A good electrical design also has to make financial sense.
Murphy Electric’s Design-Build team works within construction budgets and reviews how electrical design decisions can affect project costs.
When there are different ways to reach the same goal, our team can work with the contractor and project team to review the options.
This value-engineering approach can help create an electrical system that meets the needs of the building without adding cost that does not add value.
Coordinating Electrical With the
Rest of the Building
Electrical systems do not work alone.
They have to fit around mechanical systems, plumbing, structural elements, ceilings, equipment, walls, and other parts of the building.
Murphy Electric works with the other members of the design team to help identify conflicts before they become problems in the field.
That coordination is especially important in large warehouses and commercial buildings where many systems may share the same space.
Why Murphy Electric for Design-Build?
Murphy Electric has served Southern Nevada since 1989 and has built its business around commercial and industrial electrical work.
Our Design-Build Department combines electrical design knowledge with real construction experience.
That gives contractors, developers, and owners one electrical partner that understands both sides of the project.
Design it. Coordinate it. Build it.
