COMPANY PROFILE
Since 1951, Nelson Electric has been wiring the buildings that define the Puget Sound region. As a design/build contractor, Nelson Electric prides itself on providing valuable advice throughout the building design process, including realistic, complete and detailed budgets to assist the owner in making cost/benefit decisions. During building construction, our highly skilled electricians perform a quality installation and work with the other construction trades to ensure smooth project flow and help reduce the overall costs of construction. Upon project completion, we continue to work with the building owner by offering maintenance and renovation services, and through creation and execution of a building preventative maintenance plan. Our honest and comprehensive approach to contracting has provided us the opportunity to work on numerous landmark projects in Seattle, Bellevue, and the neighboring communities. From the complicated lighting control systems found in the renovated Seattle Art Museum, to robust emergency backup and uninterruptable power systems supplying power to the newly constructed Grand Hyatt Tower in Bellevue, Nelson Electric has expertise in all aspects of electrical construction. Nelson Electric has proven to be the contractor of choice for owners needing a project completed on time and within budget. Nelson Electric is a proud member of the National Electrical Contractors Association and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
