Phaze-In Electric designs, permits, and installs the electrical infrastructure that every base building depends on, from the main electrical room and distribution risers to common area lighting and utility metering. All work meets Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC) requirements and is fully operational at project handover. Developers, property managers, and general contractors across the GTA rely on this scope to be code-compliant before any tenant fit-out begins.
Base building electrical infrastructure is the backbone of every commercial or mixed-use development. An improperly designed or installed system creates safety hazards, costly repairs, compliance issues, and complications for every tenant fit-out that follows. Phaze-In Electric brings this infrastructure to full compliance from the ground up, whether the project is commercial, residential, or mixed-use.

Phaze-In Electric reviews the project scope and the specific electrical needs of the base building, then conducts a thorough site assessment to confirm the system is designed for current and future load requirements and OESC compliance.
Once the site review is complete, Phaze-In Electric provides transparent pricing, outlines the full electrical plan, and secures all necessary permits, working alongside the construction team to stay on schedule and within budget. Developments requiring high-capacity service infrastructure should also review electrical service upgrade options.
Licensed electricians install power systems, distribution panels, lighting, riser wiring, and all other base building electrical infrastructure. Phaze-In Electric manages all inspections required by local authorities and confirms compliance with safety standards, then provides ongoing support and maintenance after installation. For buildings needing panel capacity increases post-occupancy, see electrical panel upgrade services.
Phaze-In Electric is led by a Master Electrician with over 15 years in the trade, holds ESA certification, and is fully licensed and insured for commercial, residential, and mixed-use base building projects of any size.
All work is performed by an ESA-licensed contractor. Developers, property managers, and building owners can verify electrical contractor credentials directly through the Electrical Safety Authority before engaging any electrician on a base building project.
A developer partner reported that Phaze-In Electric delivered top-tier electrical installations on time and within budget on a recent base building project, managing design through permits and inspections to full compliance with safety regulations. (Results may vary by project scope.)

Timeline depends on the size and complexity of the development. A mid-rise commercial building typically requires four to eight weeks for the full base building electrical scope, including main electrical room setup, riser installation, floor distribution, common area systems, and emergency lighting. Larger developments are assessed on a project-by-project basis after reviewing construction drawings and the project schedule.
Base building electrical scope covers all electrical infrastructure the landlord or developer installs before tenant occupancy: main service entrance, building distribution panels and risers, common area electrical, emergency lighting, utility metering, and mechanical electrical connections. Tenant improvement electrical scope covers everything within the leased premises the tenant needs for their operations. Phaze-In Electric clarifies this boundary at the site assessment and documents it for both permit types.
Yes. This covers permits for the main service entrance, distribution panels, riser systems, common area electrical, emergency lighting, and all other base building electrical infrastructure. Permit timelines are coordinated with the construction schedule to prevent delays at key milestones, and inspection certificates plus as-built documentation are provided at handover.
Yes. This includes energy-efficient lighting, occupancy-controlled common area lighting, LED fixtures, and infrastructure sized for efficient building operations. For developments targeting green building certifications, electrical specifications are coordinated with mechanical and envelope consultants. See Natural Resources Canada’s energy-efficient building resources for commercial building energy standards.
Mid-rise and high-rise commercial office buildings, retail centres, mixed-use developments, condominium towers, purpose-built rental buildings, industrial facilities, and institutional buildings across the GTA, including large multi-storey developments requiring complex distribution riser systems and utility metering infrastructure.
A complete handover package including ESA certificates of inspection for all electrical phases, as-built wiring records, panel schedules, emergency lighting test records, and compliance documentation required by the building permit authority. This package is delivered in print and digital format for inclusion in the building’s operations and maintenance manual.
All work meets the Ontario Electrical Safety Code and passes ESA inspection at every phase. Any issue arising from workmanship is addressed directly at no additional cost to the developer, property manager, or building owner.

Base building electrical infrastructure defines what a building can do for every tenant and owner for the next 30 to 50 years. Correct service entrance sizing, distribution risers planned for future load growth, and emergency systems documented at handover mean the building performs as designed and every future fit-out starts from a solid foundation.
Phaze-In Electric partners with developers, property managers, and general contractors across the GTA under Master Electrician oversight, with full permit management and complete handover documentation on every project.
