Safe, efficient electrical systems for new builds, installed by state licensed electricians and backed by our 365-day workmanship warranty. Call McKAM Electric today to plan your project in Richardson.
At McKAM Electric, we handle new construction electrical work with one goal in mind: getting your build powered safely, efficiently, and the right way from day one. When you are building a new home, addition, commercial space, or tenant finish-out, the electrical system needs to be planned carefully before the walls go up. We work with builders, property owners, and project managers to install dependable wiring, panels, circuits, lighting, and device locations that match the needs of the space now and in the future.
New construction is the best time to build a strong electrical foundation. We help make sure your system is sized correctly, laid out for daily use, and installed to meet current National Electrical Code requirements. All work is completed by state licensed electricians, and we stand behind our workmanship with a 365-day warranty from the date performed. That means you can move forward with confidence knowing your project is being handled by experienced professionals who care about doing it right.
Every project is different, but our new construction service typically covers the full electrical installation from rough-in to final trim-out. We coordinate the work based on your plans, schedule, and budget while keeping safety and code compliance at the center of everything we do.
A new construction electrical system should do more than just pass inspection. It should support the way the property will actually be used. We think through panel capacity, circuit balance, lighting design, outlet placement, appliance loads, and future expansion. This helps reduce overload issues, nuisance tripping, and costly changes later.
For residential new construction, we make sure homeowners have practical power where they need it most. That includes kitchens with enough countertop circuits, bathrooms with proper GFCI protection, bedrooms and living areas with well-placed switches and receptacles, and outdoor areas with safe weather-rated power and lighting. For commercial new construction, we focus on efficient layouts, reliable service distribution, code-driven safety requirements, and clean installations that support operations from the start.
We believe good electrical work starts with good communication. At the beginning of the project, we review the plans, discuss the scope, and identify any special electrical needs such as EV chargers, dedicated equipment circuits, recessed lighting, security lighting, or extra data and device locations. From there, we build a clear install plan and coordinate with the construction timeline.
During the rough-in stage, we install boxes, wiring, panels, and circuit pathways before insulation and drywall. This is the stage where careful workmanship matters most because everything behind the walls needs to be right. After rough-in, we prepare for inspections and make any needed adjustments. Once finish materials are in place, we return for trim-out to install switches, outlets, fixtures, breakers, and final connections. Then we test the system to confirm everything is operating properly and safely.
Electrical work in new construction affects every part of the property. Poor planning can lead to dark areas, not enough outlets, overloaded circuits, or expensive rework after walls are closed up. Hiring a qualified electrical contractor early helps avoid delays and keeps the project moving smoothly. At McKAM Electric, we bring hands-on experience, code knowledge, and a strong commitment to customer satisfaction to every job. We do not cut corners, and we do not treat your build like a one-size-fits-all project.
Because all work is performed by state licensed electricians, you can expect professional installation that meets current standards. We also understand how important coordination is on a construction site. We work hard to stay on schedule, communicate clearly, and deliver clean, organized work that supports the rest of the build team.
Many customers use a new build as the perfect time to add features that improve convenience, comfort, and energy efficiency. If you are planning ahead, we can help wire for upgrades that are much easier to install during construction than after the building is finished.
We are proud to serve customers from our Richardson location at 500 E Arapaho Rd, #304, Richardson, TX 75081. If you are planning a new construction project and want electrical work installed safely and correctly the first time, our team is ready to help. We bring trusted workmanship, code-compliant installation, and a 365-day warranty to every project.
If you are building a new home, commercial space, addition, or renovation and need a reliable electrical contractor, call McKAM Electric at (972) 571-0355. We are happy to review your plans, discuss your goals, and help you create an electrical system that is safe, efficient, and built to last. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and get your new construction project moving in the right direction.
We start with a consultation to review your plans, load needs, lighting layout, panel size, and future power demands like EV chargers or generators. Then we build a clear scope, timeline, and estimate for your new build, usually within a few business
Our state licensed electricians complete the rough-in, including service equipment, wiring runs, boxes, circuits, and grounding. We coordinate with your builder and other trades to keep the project moving and install everything to current National
After walls are finished, we complete device installation, fixtures, panel labeling, and system testing. We check every circuit for safety and performance, walk you through the finished system, and back our work with a 365-day warranty for added pe

See what local customers say about our licensed electricians, clean work, and reliable results
"Great service! Great company! Highly recommend!"
"Efficient, polite and prompt. Have done business with them for several years and plan to call them for any electrical work in the future."
"This company provides excellent service. Robby and Nate completed several repairs and installs for me. I appreciate how efficiently they worked, and cleanup was thorough which is a big plus. I will use their services again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them."
"(Translated by Google) excellent! (Original) excelent !"
"Robby and Alec were both very nice and professional electricians. They installed lights with dimmers in my entertainment center and hutch where the interiors were recently painted black. They installed the hutch lights so the shadows fall behind my cherished pieces, making my things stand out and look beautiful. They installed a smart timer in the hutch so I don’t have to worry about turning the lights on or off. I’m very pleased with their knowledge and the job they did. Want to mention I had a budget amount in mind when I called them for a bid. Their bid was higher than I’d planned to spend so I called another electric company whose bid matched theirs but they weren’t as experienced in installing lights for curio cabinets. I’m so very glad I went with McKam."
"I called McKam Electric about 3-4 years ago because a yoga friend recommended them to me. I couldn't be more pleased. They were professional, extremely knowledgeable, honest and fair in pricing. I recommended them to my entire townhouse community for upgrading the aluminum wiring connections that were required for insurance purposes and they have been wonderful. I just had a GFCI outlet go bad and they were able to come the same day and fix it right then. If I could give them 10 stars I would!! They are just great !! Update 2026... About a year after the above review, I needed to have a ceiling fan installed. I called Mike Johnson since he's the one I'd worked with previously. No one answered so I left a message. Over a week later I still had no returned call so I tried again. I reached the current owner and was told that Mike and James no longer worked there. The owner of the company was not very responsive to my need and said he didn't like the way Mike and James ran the company so he took it back. Pricing was higher and I felt the previous personalized warm service no longer existed. Without Mike and James the company is no longer the same and not one I choose to do business with. IMHO it was a big mistake to let them go. Based on my experience of 2 years ago, 2 stars is what I'd currently give the company. I haven't contacted them since then. Update 4/8/2026 I just received a message from Mike in response to my updated review telling me he is back at McKam Electric. I am extremely pleased to hear this and will be calling them again for my electrical needs. Assuming he is still there next time and is as good as before my rating is back to 5:stars. Glad to know you're back Mike!"
"great job done quickly and cleaned up well. Good price and everything explained before and after. Would definitely recommend."
"Very pleased with the work. Just a couple of small fixes, and McKamm team completed them like they were working a full-on re-wire with 5-star professionalism & expertise."
"Fantastic service. Had three outlets replaced with GFCI outlets in bath and kitchen. Great service from great people!"
"Very knowledgeable and easy to work with. They fixed my outlet and other electrical work."
"Top notch"
"They showed up on time, did an amazing job. It ended up being more of a job than they anticipated, but they fixed everything, it's working perfectly and I will definitely use them for all my electrician needs."
"Amazing service. Prompt, courteous and very reasonably priced! Will continue to use them when we need an electrician"
"The team is amazing....very professional, well priced, and resolved all the issues and tasks we asked them to help with. We have trusted them with our electrical work for the past 7 years and will continue to do so."
"McKAM Electric was very professional. Michael was on time and quickly installed the new fixture. He was able to give assessments of other electrical issues. We will definitely call McKam again!"
"They did an excellent job had them do a full outside meter box update along with wiring inside the home and attic"
"Guys do a great job on every project I've given them."
"Mckam is great. My first and only call for electrical needs."
"Robbie was through explaining what was found and will need attention soon."
"We needed our 55+ year old electrical panel replaced and upgraded. We have used McKAM for a couple of repairs in the past and requested they provide an estimate for the panel replacement. I worked with Michael over a couple of weeks as I changed what we wanted. I selected McKAM's because of their good quote as well as our past experience with them. Michael scheduled our project for about a week from when we accepted his proposal. He and his crew arrived around 8:30 s.m. and worked the entire day, finishing around 5:30 p.m. Michael and his crew were courteous and professional, and willingly answered all our questions. The installation was good, they verified everything was working, and they cleaned up the work area before they left. They came back the next day for the City of Dallas inspection. We are satisfied with their work and that we chose them for the project."
"EXCELLENT SERVICE! Would highly recommend! Gene"
"I highly recommend McKam Electric for anyone in need of residential electrical repairs. Michael and Christian arrived right on schedule, were incredibly friendly, and performed high-quality work. Their pricing is extremely fair and transparent. I will certainly be using McKam for all of my future electrical needs."
"Great service, great person, will definitely use them again. Highly recommended! Also, terrific communication, very appreciative of that."
"Came in under what they bid, they don’t try to stick you with the highest bill possible. On time as well. You pay hourly. I’ve had two sets of electricians in my house, both times they were very professional and had nothing but a pleasant experience. Thanks!"
"Knowledgeable, on-time, and professional. Diagnosed and fixed the problem quickly. Will use them again!"
"⸻ I had McKam Electric come out to install two chandeliers for me, one on a regular ceiling and one on a really high ceiling and they did an amazing job. Micheal and his team made the process easy. Robby, the team leader, was great to work with. Everyone was friendly, showed up on time, and worked efficiently while still paying attention to the details. They took their time to make sure everything was straight and secure, and the chandeliers look beautiful. What I appreciated most was how careful they were and how clean they left everything after. I’m really happy with how it all turned out. Big thanks to Micheal, Robby, and the whole crew — would definitely recommend them."
"We needed some exploratory electrical work done at the exterior of our house, and then asked if we could add an outdoor receptacle too. Robbie was very accommodating and got to work, explaining everything that we’d need to know about the process, and the operation of it afterwards. We always feel so much better after a McKam visit. They charge very fair prices - I always end up wishing that I’d called sooner to take care of what I’d thought would too expensive to address. They’re honest people, and they show up when they say they will. I VERY much appreciate/need the reminder texts for when a technician is on the way, and I always get one."
"Look no farther! These are the guys!! I offer my highest recomendations! Finally, I have someone to get it done correctly. They are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and kind. They worked hard in my attic fixing mistakes by other electricians and contractors. They even went above and beyond removing abandoned wires, using wiring available, and checking wires along the way. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
"Fantastic service! I highly recommend!"
"We have used McKAM for years! So reliable, professional and kind! They do excellent work, show up on time and trustworthy! Highly recommend!!"

"Robert did a great job changing out our exterior lighting sockets. He was on time, professional, friendly and answered all our questions and concerns. There price was reasonable. I will be using them for any future electrical needs."
"I recommend McKam Electric without hesitation. McKam is a local family owned small business, and their customer service focus exceeds my expectations. Michael and Zane have worked on a couple of projects in my 40 year old house recently. They were very efficient in the work completed. Their communication about the work needed and performed was great. They are respectful and do not talk down to the customer. They are proactive in educating the homeowner. The solutions they offered were considerate of my budget needs and their cost of services were communicated up front."
"Michael was quick to respond and get us scheduled and also super efficient to get the job done!! Will definitely refer to others and to my clients as well. Kathy Harris"

From the first call I received a text showing we were scheduled for the next day, then a text the next morning saying we will arrive in approximately 30 mins, and then a call saying we are here. Communication was TOP NOTCH and pricing was tremendous. I will be using them again and sharing their contact! Out of a score of 100 I give them 1,000%."
"Fast, friendly, & professional. Would call again."
"Robert was quite professional and answered all the questions I asked, and there were many : ) Not my first time to have the pleasure of working with McKAM, and I'll continue to do so when the need arises."
"This is the second time we’ve hired McKam Electric. The first job Michael installed a ceiling fan outside. On time and really great work. Robert and Alejandro just left after installing a specialized antenna on our roof. They were meticulous and the work is excellent. The price was very fair especially for the attention to detail on both jobs."
