As your new home electrician in Langley, we handle full electrical for new construction from the first stud to the final inspection. That covers single-family custom homes, builder spec homes, accessory dwelling units, laneway houses, and additions large enough to require a permit-level electrical scope.
The work breaks into three distinct stages. Rough-in happens after framing and before insulation — running wire through stud bays, drilling the framing, installing box backings for outlets and switches, mounting the service panel, and pulling the temporary service. Service connection is next — coordinating BC Hydro to bring power to the meter, sizing the panel for the final calculated load, and bringing the home up to temporary code. Trim and final happens after drywall and paint — installing outlets, switches, fixtures, smoke and CO detectors, EV-ready conduit, and any specialty wiring such as low-voltage, structured cabling, or generator inlet. The Technical Safety BC final inspection wraps it up.
Most new Langley homes get pre-wired for at least one EV charger circuit (a 50A run to the garage) and a generator inlet on the panel. We default to those unless the build spec says otherwise. We also default to 200A service on every new build — 100A used to be fine, but it is no longer adequate for a home with a heat pump, EV charging, and modern kitchen loads running at the same time.
Working with a builder? We coordinate directly with the GC, framers, HVAC, and plumbing crews so the schedule does not slip waiting for an electrician. Working with a homeowner on a custom build? We are happy to do the takeoff and load calculation from your plans before you break ground, so the electrical scope is locked in.
Every job includes
- Plan review and load calculation from your blueprints
- Rough-in wiring after framing, before insulation
- 200A service entrance and main panel (Eaton, Square D, or Siemens)
- BC Hydro coordination for service connection
- EV-ready 50A conduit and circuit to the garage (default)
- Hardwired smoke and CO detectors with battery backup, per code
- Trim package: outlets, switches, plates, fixtures, low-voltage
- Technical Safety BC permit pulled and final inspection coordinated
$6 to $10 per square foot typical for full electrical
These are typical price ranges — exact pricing varies depending on your specific build, and every new construction job gets a line-item quote based on your blueprints (no per-square-foot guessing once we have plans in hand). Per-square-foot pricing assumes a standard single-family build with one panel and standard fixture count. Custom homes with feature lighting, structured cabling, theatre rooms, generators, or multi-unit work price higher and quote separately.
Do you need a permit?
New construction electrical requires a Technical Safety BC permit and (depending on the municipality) a building permit through Langley Township or Langley City. We pull the electrical permit, coordinate the rough-in and final inspections with TSBC, and pass the sign-off paperwork to your GC or directly to you.
Frequently asked
- Yes. We do full electrical for new custom builds in Langley, including the load calculation from your plans, rough-in, service connection, and final trim. We can bid against your existing budget or build the electrical scope into your project from scratch.
- Both. About half of our new construction work is on builder spec homes where we are subcontracted by the GC. The other half is on custom homes for individual owners. The work is the same either way — we just take direction from whoever is running the build.
- Yes to both. We run 50A EV conduit to the garage on every new build by default — even if you do not want a charger today, the conduit costs almost nothing at rough-in and saves over $1,000 later. Solar is similar: we install a back-fed breaker spot and an exterior DC disconnect location during the panel install, so a future PV installation becomes a 1-day job instead of a 3-day job with drywall repair.
- Typical range is $6 to $10 per square foot for a standard single-family build, depending on fixture count, panel size, and whether structured cabling or specialty wiring is included. A 2,500 sq ft home usually lands in the $18,000 to $25,000 range for full electrical including permit and final inspection.
- Rough-in is typically 4 to 8 days on a single-family home, depending on size and fixture count. Final trim happens after drywall and paint and takes 3 to 5 days. Service connection day with BC Hydro is a separately scheduled event. Total elapsed electrical time fits inside the GC's overall schedule with no electrical-caused delays.
- Yes. Laneway houses, ADUs, and secondary suites in Langley all require their own electrical permit and a separate sub-panel from the main residence. We handle the load calculation to confirm the existing service can support both, the sub-panel install, and the trim work in the new unit.
