Home/For the trade

One contractor, both packages.

CITE Electric holds an unlimited electrical license. CITE Solutions holds the systems that run on it. A trade partner deals with one firm for the wire and the low voltage, on one schedule, against one set of drawings.

What you are asking for

I need one subcontractor for the electrical and the low voltage, working from one set of drawings.

On most jobs the electrical package and the systems package are let separately, so the lighting plan, the panel schedule and the keypad positions are drawn by parties who never meet. The discoveries land at trim-out, and they land on your schedule. Both companies are under the same ownership, so the load calculation, the panel schedule and the device plan are drawn together and one team is answerable when something does not match.

Who this is for

Electrical and low voltage together.Keypad and shade detail on your set.Finishes agreed before rough-in.

Architects

Flush keypads and recessed devices, with keypad and shade detailing drawn on your set early enough to be built rather than retrofitted.

Interior designers

Finishes, engraving and placement agreed before rough-in, so nothing lands on a wall you had planned for something else.
