WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

Experienced electricians—each with over 20 years of direct field experience—perform the engineering and layout of our systems. Our philosophy is that in order for a system to work, it must be engineered by people who could go into the field and wire any commercial or industrial building without supervision. In fact, our engineers only use computers to review plans and specifications that are in electronic format. We do not use computers to perform the layout design. CAD operators are only used to create final system installation drawings.

All specifications are reviewed for material type requirements (i.e. required manufacturers, colors, fitting types, wire connection method, etc.). Drawings are thoroughly reviewed and interpreted to identify electrical requirements, wall and ceiling types, and mounting heights. Our thorough process also identifies potential interference points with other trades to provide an opportunity to avoid conflict.

If your project schedule allows, Electrical Prefab Systems will identify potential problems that could hinder installation and then forward an RFI to you. You can then forward the RFI to your client for an answer. In essence, we become part of your project management team. This process eliminates costly last minute scrambling that can bring construction to a dead stop.

Electrical Prefab Systems is the only branch-circuit wiring system manufacturer that uses our universal box bracket (patent pending) that can secure both MC-Cable and EMT. Internal bracket features support cable or conduit in accordance with N.E.C. requirements and is UL-listed. No additional supports are required within 12” of the junction box (unless bracket capacity is exceeded). This feature saves labor costs and reduces the purchase of additional support means.

Electrical Prefab Systems is the only branch-circuit wiring system manufacturer that utilizes the open-back box system (patent pending) that allows all* terminations to be made at the rear of the junction box. This eliminates the tedious and time-consuming process of disassembling the plaster ring in order to access the inside of the box. A standard blank plate is used to close the box after final connections are completed. Access to the rear of the box also means that fire putty pads for two-hour rated firewalls can be inserted just prior to attaching the blank plate. (* Not included for system assemblies that do not have wiring devices installed, i.e. for light fixtures–wiring can be accessed from the front of the box for these applications.)

When providing your company a quotation, we do not and will not provide an itemized bill of materials that includes quantities for each component. Why? Because it is not fair for you to expect a complete system and then find out later that we missed something and now you must pay extra. To the contrary, we quote the entire set of drawings and our system includes everything on the drawings unless we explicitly exclude a specific scope item (for example for economic reasons, we do not fabricate anything over 30-amperes).

Electrical Prefab Systems is a manufacturer—not a contractor. We purchase our cable and components directly from the producer—not from distributors. This is a founding principle of our business model and lowers our production costs. This allows us to pass on the savings yielded by using our products and systems to your company, increasing your margins.

We are guided by the principle that “The Customer is Always Right.” These are custom systems and as such we will build them to comply with your needs, suited to what your field crews are comfortable with, and in strict compliance with the project specifications. You will not be asked to select proprietary coded numbers from a catalog. Electrical Prefab Systems will furnish what works for your company and for your project.

While many companies promise post-sale support, Electrical Prefab Systems stands behind it. Your project will be assigned a project engineer/manager who has single-source responsibility for your project from beginning to end. We will respond immediately to field installation questions and work to find a solution that works for your company. You will not be “nickeled and dimed.” If you need additional fittings, we’ll ship them; if a cable is the wrong length then we’ll fly out a new one at no charge; if an unforeseen constructability issue arises we will furnish a solution—no questions asked! We recognize that one bad job could be our last project with your company, and everything we do is motivated to ensure that our relationship is long and mutually rewarding.

Unlike our competitors, Electrical Prefab Systems does not advocate delivery of materials until they are required for installation. Working with your company, we can plan deliveries to coincide with your project schedule, delivering just-in-time. We do this because we understand that ever-changing site conditions may affect final product requirements. We want to do everything we can to ensure that what we produce works the first time. And please don’t be concerned that products will arrive late – we have never missed a schedule.

Electrical Prefab Systems has invested almost $200,000 in integrated database and manufacturing technologies. This remarkable system is the engine that ensures what our engineers specify is produced quickly and with amazing precision. Moreover, this system is what makes it possible to incorporate last-minute changes driven by changing field conditions. Modifications to the system can literally be made just minutes prior to fabrication to ensure minimal delays to product shipment.

The traditional belief is that “prefab” or manufactured wiring systems are only suitable for project types that have identical or repeatable unit types (i.e. hotels, condominiums, apartments, etc.). Electrical Prefab Systems dispels this myth and has the track record to prove it. We have successfully engineered and manufactured wiring systems for hospitals, assisted living facilities, schools (including administrative areas), office building and other commercial project types.

Electrical Prefab Systems inspects each and every component of our systems. Every assembly is visually inspected to ensure that it is fabricated according to engineering requirements, that all components are connected correctly and that they meet our strict quality requirements. All cables (if applicable) are tested for damages that may occur during the fabrication process. Final testing is performed on all cable/wiring device assemblies to ensure proper wiring.

When we first began the development of our products and systems we quickly realized that the standard catalog box support brackets offered by the well-known manufactures do not work well for prefab or manufactured wiring solutions. As a result, Electrical Prefab Systems has developed new products to solve real-world problems. We manufacture (in the USA) over 90 percent of the support brackets and junction boxes we employ in the fabrication of our systems. All our products are UL-listed and meet N.E.C. Code requirements.

Our guarantee: Write us a purchase order, provide us with all necessary documents, and answer our engineering-related questions promptly. Electrical Prefab Systems will deliver the most advanced and highest quality manufactured wiring system on the market. After you receive the first shipment, if you do not completely agree that our system is everything we say it is and will save your company time and money, then cancel the balance of the project and owe us nothing.
