Service Overview

Building It Right From the Ground Up

New construction electrical work is the one chance to build a home’s electrical system exactly right. Unlike renovations where you work around existing conditions, new construction gives you the opportunity to design a system that meets your family’s needs today and anticipates the technology of tomorrow. The decisions made during the framing stage, where outlets go, how many circuits are dedicated, whether smart home infrastructure is pre-wired, will affect how your home functions for the next fifty years.

HOLISTIQ Building Systems and Services LLC provides complete new construction electrical services for custom homes, spec homes, and production builders throughout Central Virginia. Josh Smith handles every phase of the electrical work personally, from the initial plan review and load calculation through rough-in wiring, inspection, finish trim, and final testing. That single point of contact means nothing falls through the cracks between phases, and the electrician who designed the system is the same one who installs it.

What sets HOLISTIQ apart in new construction is the holistic approach to building systems. As a certified electrician, certified solar installer, and Zehnder America certified ERV installer, Josh understands how electrical, solar, and ventilation systems interact. He designs electrical systems that accommodate not just today’s needs but future solar panel installations, battery storage systems, electric vehicle chargers, and energy recovery ventilation. This integrated thinking means your new home is built for the future, not just for the present.

HOLISTIQ works directly with builders, general contractors, and homeowners throughout the Central Virginia region. Josh coordinates scheduling with other trades, attends builder meetings, and communicates proactively to keep projects on timeline. Clean workmanship, organized wire routing, clear breaker labeling, and first-pass inspection results are standard on every HOLISTIQ new construction project. The dude across the table from you is the one doing the work, and that shows in every junction box, every panel termination, and every device installation.

What We Include

New Construction Electrical Services

Rough-In Wiring

The foundation of every electrical system. HOLISTIQ installs the service entrance, panel, all branch circuit wiring, device boxes, and junction boxes during the framing stage. Every wire is routed cleanly with proper stapling, protection plates where required, and separation between circuits. Josh coordinates timing with the framing crew and insulation contractor to ensure everything is accessible for inspection before walls close.

Smart Home Pre-Wire

Today’s smart homes require infrastructure that goes beyond standard electrical wiring. HOLISTIQ pre-wires for smart lighting systems, whole-home audio, security cameras, doorbell cameras, smart thermostats, motorized shades, and home automation hubs. Running these cables during construction costs a fraction of what retrofit wiring costs after drywall is installed. Josh designs the pre-wire layout based on your specific smart home plans.

EV Charger and Solar Prep

Even if you are not buying an electric vehicle or solar panels today, pre-wiring during construction is dramatically cheaper than retrofitting later. HOLISTIQ installs conduit runs from the panel to the garage for future EV charger installation, reserves breaker space for solar inverter connections, and sizes the panel to accommodate future loads. As a certified solar installer, Josh knows exactly what infrastructure solar panels require.

Finish Trim and Devices

After drywall, paint, and flooring are complete, HOLISTIQ returns for the finish phase: installing outlets, switches, light fixtures, ceiling fans, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and cover plates. Every device is installed level, tight to the wall, and properly connected. Josh completes the panel directory with accurate circuit descriptions and performs final testing on every circuit before scheduling the final inspection.

Dedicated Equipment Circuits

Modern homes require dedicated circuits for specific equipment: kitchen appliances, HVAC systems, well pumps, water heaters, sump pumps, garbage disposals, dishwashers, and laundry equipment. HOLISTIQ installs each dedicated circuit with the correct wire gauge, breaker sizing, and outlet type per NEC requirements. Josh also installs GFCI and AFCI protection where required by current code, which is significantly more extensive than it was even a decade ago.

Code Compliance and Inspection

Virginia building codes set minimum standards, but HOLISTIQ builds beyond minimum. Josh stays current with the latest NEC adoption and local amendments, ensuring your new home meets every requirement. He is present for every inspection, rough-in and final, to answer questions and demonstrate compliance. First-pass inspection results save time on your construction timeline and eliminate the rework costs that come with failed inspections.

Our Process

New Construction Electrical Process

  1. 01

    Plan Review and Bid

    Josh reviews your architectural plans and electrical specifications to develop a comprehensive bid. This includes a detailed load calculation, panel sizing, circuit count, fixture allowances, and any smart home or future-proofing requirements you specify. Builders receive a clear, itemized bid that makes comparison straightforward and eliminates misunderstandings about scope during construction.

  2. 02

    Underground and Service Entrance

    Before framing begins, HOLISTIQ installs the underground service entrance conduit, meter base, and any underground wiring required for outdoor fixtures, landscape lighting, or detached structures. This work must coordinate with the foundation and grading contractors. Josh manages this scheduling and ensures the underground work is properly inspected before backfill.

  3. 03

    Rough-In and Inspection

    Once framing is complete and before insulation, Josh performs the complete rough-in: panel installation, all branch circuit wiring, device boxes, junction boxes, low-voltage pre-wire, and any conduit for future systems. The work is thoroughly self-inspected before calling for the official rough-in inspection. Josh is present for the inspection and addresses any corrections immediately to avoid delays in the construction schedule.

  4. 04

    Finish Trim and Final Inspection

    After drywall, paint, and flooring are complete, HOLISTIQ installs all finish devices, fixtures, and cover plates. Every circuit is tested for function, polarity, and ground integrity. The panel directory is completed with clear, accurate circuit descriptions. Final inspection is scheduled and Josh walks through the home with you to explain the electrical system, demonstrate smart home features, and answer any questions about the installation.

Common Questions

New Construction Electrical FAQs

When should I contact an electrician for my new build?
Contact HOLISTIQ during the design phase, ideally before foundation work begins. Early involvement allows Josh to review architectural plans, provide input on electrical layout, identify potential conflicts with other systems, and ensure the underground service entrance is coordinated with site work. Having the electrician involved early prevents costly changes during construction and ensures your home gets the electrical infrastructure it deserves from the start.
What smart home wiring should I include in new construction?
At minimum, HOLISTIQ recommends pre-wiring for a structured wiring panel, Cat6 Ethernet to every room, coax to primary living areas, and conduit for outdoor security cameras. For more advanced smart homes, add pre-wire for whole-home audio speakers, motorized shade controls, smart lighting circuits with neutral wires at every switch location, and a dedicated circuit for your network closet. Pre-wiring costs during construction are a fraction of retrofit costs.
Do you work with builders in Central Virginia?
Yes, HOLISTIQ works with custom home builders, general contractors, and production builders throughout the region. Josh attends pre-construction meetings, coordinates scheduling with other trades, and communicates proactively to keep projects on timeline. Builders value working with HOLISTIQ because they get consistent quality, clean workmanship, and first-pass inspections that keep construction schedules moving. Contact us to discuss becoming a preferred electrical subcontractor for your builds.
Should I pre-wire for solar even if I am not installing panels now?
Absolutely. Pre-wiring for solar during construction involves running a conduit from the panel area to the attic or roof penetration point, reserving breaker space in the panel for the solar inverter connection, and ensuring the panel bus bar is rated for the additional load per the NEC 120% rule. This pre-wire costs a few hundred dollars during construction but can save thousands compared to retrofitting the conduit and panel capacity after the home is complete. As a certified solar installer, Josh designs this pre-wire for optimal future solar integration.
How many outlets does a new home need?
NEC code sets minimum requirements for outlet spacing: every wall section wider than two feet needs an outlet, and no point along a wall should be more than six feet from an outlet. Kitchen countertops require dedicated 20-amp circuits with GFCI protection. However, HOLISTIQ recommends exceeding minimums based on how you actually plan to use each room. Josh walks through the plans with you to identify where additional outlets, USB outlets, and floor outlets will make your daily life more convenient.
What does a new construction electrical package typically cost?
New construction electrical costs depend on the home size, number of circuits, panel size, fixture count, smart home pre-wire scope, and any special requirements like outdoor kitchens, pools, or detached structures. HOLISTIQ provides detailed, itemized bids based on your specific plans so there are no surprises during construction.
