Commercial Tenant Improvement Electrical, Bid-to-Closeout
Bay Area TI fit-outs — branch circuits, panel additions, Title 24 lighting controls, equipment connections, and a closeout packet your landlord, lender, and owner will all accept.
Project Profile
Common ranges for a Bay Area commercial TI. Exact numbers confirmed in your written bid.
What & Why
A TI fit-out wired the way your GC schedule expects.
Commercial TIs live or die on coordination — landlord approvals, base-building tie-ins, Title 24 acceptance, after-hours phasing, and a closeout packet that satisfies three different audiences. YKCA's commercial crew is built around that interface.
One C-10 license, electrical and low-voltage in the same bid, the same daily site lead from mobilization to punch. No subcontractor handoff in the middle of your schedule.
Scope of Work
Six work phases, every TI.
Demo Coordination & Survey
Site walk with GC. Existing panel capacity verified, abandoned circuits flagged, demo limits agreed in writing.
Branch Circuits & Panels
New sub-panels where needed, branch circuit layout per drawings, dedicated circuits for kitchen and equipment loads.
Lighting & Title 24 Controls
Fixture rough-in, occupancy and daylight sensors, programmed controls system, automatic shut-off zones per Title 24.
HVAC & Equipment Connections
Disconnects, motor control, EF/MAU power, water-heater circuits — coordinated with mech and plumb roughs.
Life-Safety Review
Exit signs, emergency lighting circuits, fire-alarm rough-in coordinated with the FA contractor. NFPA 70 and NFPA 72 boxes checked.
Inspection & Closeout
City rough and final, Title 24 acceptance test, as-built drawings, panel schedules, warranty letters — packaged for landlord and lender.
Closeout Deliverables
What you get at final pay-app.

Project Tiers
Three typical TI bands.
Every project gets a fixed written quote tied to your drawings. Tiers below describe scope size — not a price ceiling or floor.

Under 5,000 sqft
4 – 6 weeks
Single-tenant fit-out, minimal panel work, basic controls. Single crew, one site lead.
Medium TI
5,000 – 15,000 sqft
6 – 10 weeks
Sub-panel additions, full Title 24 controls, multiple equipment connections. Two-trade coordination meetings weekly.
Large TI
15,000 sqft+
10 – 16 weeks
Service additions, multi-floor distribution, after-hours phasing common. Dedicated PM and daily site lead.
Permit fees, third-party testing, and any landlord-required base-building work are passed through at cost and itemized on the quote.
FAQ

Need More Than the Electrical?
We can deliver the whole tenant improvement — not just the wiring.
