Commercial building and industrial

Offices, plants, warehouses, and everything between. Gage supplies the service entrance, the distribution, the raceway and wire behind the walls, and the lighting on the ceiling, quoted from the contractor's takeoff.

What the job needs

A commercial or industrial building is a long list of ordinary material that has to arrive in the order the trades install it. These are the six places the takeoff matters most.

01

Service and step-down

Pad-mounted transformers and the metering enclosures at the utility service, sized for the building's load.

02

Distribution and protection

Switchgear and the protection behind it for a plant or a campus with more than one service.

03

Wire and cable

Feeders, branch circuits, and control cable in the sizes and lengths on the schedule, cut and reeled for the floor.

04

Raceway and boxes

Conduit, wireway, enclosures, and fittings in the ratings the drawings call for, staged floor by floor.

05

Lighting

Interior fixtures, high bays for the plant floor, and area lighting for the lot, with the lamps to maintain them.

06

Safety and site control

PPE and first aid for the crews, barricades and signage while the building is live around them.

Typical scope

How Gage helps

The same four things we bring to every project, applied to a build where the electrical contractor's schedule is the schedule.
