The short answer
What electrical work does a build-out need?
Most build-outs rework power and lighting to suit the new layout. That means new circuits and receptacles where the desks, counters and equipment go, new lighting and switching, exit and emergency lights for the new floor plan, and a panel that can carry it all. All of it is permitted and inspected.
- Circuits and receptacles laid out for the new floor plan
- Lighting and switching for offices, sales floors and back rooms
- Exit and emergency lighting to match the new layout
- Dedicated circuits for equipment
- Panel capacity checked before anything is added
- Permit, inspections and final, handled by us
How a build-out runs
Plans to final, one crew.
- 1
We review the plans and walk the space.
We look at the drawings, or the space and your layout if there are none, and check what the existing service can carry.
- 2
You get a price, we pull the permit.
We explain the scope and the price before work starts, then file the electrical permit with your county or the city.
- 3
Rough-in, then inspection.
We run the wiring before walls close and meet the inspector for the rough-in inspection.
- 4
Trim-out and final.
Devices, fixtures and panel labels go in, the space gets its final inspection, and we clean up so you can open.

What our customers say.
“They show up early and they work. They are professional, clean, and friendly. All my questions and concerns were addressed while they were on the worksite.”
“They show up on time, explain everything clearly, and do top-quality work every single time. It’s such a relief to have electricians we fully trust and we won’t use anyone else.”
“We have called Wyatt Electric twice, once in 2020 and again just recently. They fixed all of our problems and left our home clean, even after installing a ceiling fan in my daughter's bedroom.”
Build-out questions
Before you book.
Do you work as a subcontractor to the GC?
Yes. We work for general contractors and builders as the electrical sub, and directly for tenants and building owners. Builders can start on our trade-partner page.
Do I need a permit for a tenant fit-out?
Electrical work in a build-out needs a permit in Harford County, Baltimore County and Baltimore City. We pull it and handle the inspections.
Can you work from our architect's drawings?
Yes. Send the electrical drawings when you book and we'll price from them. If there are no drawings, we'll walk the space with you.
Do you do small renovations, too?
Yes. Moving a few receptacles, adding circuits or relighting one room gets the same care as a full fit-out.
