Controls

The intelligence layer that ties lighting, power, and mechanical equipment together — designed, programmed, integrated, and commissioned.

What We Provide

Controls — in detail

We design, install, terminate, and commission controls for commercial and industrial facilities across Arizona — coordinated with our own underground, HVAC, and construction crews. Here is what each part of the scope actually involves.

Building & Lighting Controls

  • Networked lighting controls — Beyond a wall switch, networked lighting control manages an entire building's lighting from one system. We install and program the panels, sensors, and software that run it.
  • Building control systems — We install the controls that operate building systems on schedules and sequences, integrated with the lighting, power, and mechanical scopes.
  • Scheduling and zoning — We set up the schedules and zones so lighting and equipment run only when and where they are needed, saving energy and matching how the building is actually used.
  • Sequences of operation — We program the sequences of operation — the rules that tell the system what to do, when, and in what order — and verify they perform as designed.

Energy Management & Metering

  • Power and energy metering — You cannot manage what you do not measure. We install power and energy meters at the service and at key loads so usage is visible.
  • Monitoring and dashboards — We connect the metering to monitoring and dashboards so the facility team can track demand, cost, and anomalies in real time.
  • Demand and load management — We install controls that manage peak demand by shedding or staging loads, reducing demand charges and keeping the facility within its capacity.
  • Sub-metering — We install sub-metering by tenant, area, or system for accurate cost allocation and real energy accountability.

Motor Controls & Equipment Power

  • Motor control centers (MCCs) — MCCs centralize the starters and controls for a facility's motors. We install, bus, and wire MCCs and terminate the field connections.
  • Variable frequency drives (VFDs) — VFDs control motor speed to match demand, saving significant energy on pumps and fans. We install and wire VFDs and coordinate their startup.
  • Equipment power and disconnects — We provide power and local disconnects to mechanical equipment, production machinery, and process loads, coordinated with the equipment suppliers.
  • Instrumentation and wiring — We install instrumentation and control wiring — the sensors, transmitters, and field wiring that feed the control system.

HVAC Integration & Commissioning

  • HVAC controls interfaces — We provide the power, disconnects, and control interfaces that connect HVAC equipment to the building's controls.
  • Building-automation (BAS) integration — We integrate the equipment and controls into the building-automation system so HVAC, lighting, and power work together instead of in isolation.
  • System commissioning — We commission the controls — testing every point and sequence — so the system performs as designed before it is turned over.
  • Owner training and documentation — We train the owner's staff and hand over the documentation so they can operate and maintain the system with confidence.

The Design-Build Advantage

Designed, self-performed, and accountable

Because we keep electrical engineering and field crews under one roof, our controls work is constructable, coordinated, and energized by one team — with fewer hand-offs and fewer surprises.
