Remodel & New Construction Electrical
Expert electrical wiring for building projects -- from kitchen remodels to custom homes.
Building and Renovation Electrical Experts
Whether you are building a custom home from the ground up, adding a room to your existing house, or renovating your kitchen, the electrical system is one of the most critical components of the project. Poor electrical planning leads to insufficient outlets, overloaded circuits, and code violations that can delay your project and cost you money.
Osborne Electric works directly with homeowners, general contractors, and builders to deliver quality electrical systems that meet current NEC and Utah codes. We coordinate with other trades, handle all permitting, and ensure every wire, outlet, and fixture is installed correctly.

Why Hire a Licensed Electrician for Your Build
Construction electrical work requires coordination with framing, plumbing, HVAC, and drywall schedules. A missed rough-in means cutting into finished walls later -- which costs more and compromises the final result. Osborne Electric understands construction timelines and works efficiently within them.
Every installation we perform meets current code requirements, and we stand behind our work through the entire construction process, from initial rough-in through final trim-out and testing.
- Experienced with residential construction schedules and trade coordination
- All work performed to current NEC and Utah electrical codes
- Permits pulled and inspections passed before moving forward
- Direct communication with homeowners and contractors throughout the project
- Clean work areas maintained during all phases of construction
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about electrical work for remodels and new construction.
How early should I involve an electrician in my remodel?
Involve an electrician during the planning phase, before demolition begins. Early involvement allows us to assess your existing wiring, plan circuit layouts, identify panel capacity needs, and coordinate with your general contractor. This prevents costly changes later and ensures electrical work stays on schedule with the rest of the project.
Do I need a permit for electrical work during a remodel?
Yes. In Utah, any electrical work that involves adding new circuits, moving outlets, rewiring, or modifying your panel requires a permit. Even kitchen and bathroom remodels that add new outlets or circuits need permits. Osborne Electric handles all permit applications, inspections, and code compliance so the process is seamless for you.
What does rough-in wiring include?
Rough-in wiring is the first phase of electrical work in new construction or major remodels. It includes running all wiring through the framing before drywall goes up -- circuit wiring to outlets, switches, and light fixtures, plus dedicated circuits for appliances. Rough-in is followed by an inspection, then trim-out after drywall is finished.
How much does it cost to wire a new home in Utah?
New home wiring in Utah typically costs $8,000 to $15,000 or more depending on the size of the home, number of circuits, and complexity of the electrical plan. Larger homes with smart home wiring, structured cabling, or commercial-grade kitchens will be on the higher end. Call 801-885-4521 for a detailed quote based on your plans.
Can you work with my general contractor?
Yes. Osborne Electric works directly with general contractors, builders, and homeowners on construction projects. We coordinate scheduling with other trades, attend project meetings when needed, and ensure our work aligns with the overall construction timeline.
What electrical upgrades should I add during a kitchen remodel?
During a kitchen remodel, consider adding dedicated circuits for major appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher, disposal, microwave), GFCI outlets along countertops per code, under-cabinet lighting, pendant lighting over islands, and additional outlets to eliminate reliance on power strips. Since the walls are open, this is the most cost-effective time to add wiring.
