Commercial electrical upgrades are stalling.
Owners face mounting compliance pressure on aging infrastructure, while the market for commercial electrical work remains fragmented, opaque, and unreliable.
Aging electrical systems
Most commercial buildings were never wired for today's loads, EV demand, or modern tenant fit-outs.
Code & inspection pressure
NEC updates, AHJ scrutiny, and permitting backlogs are compounding project risk.
Unclear contractor quality
Owners can't easily verify licensing, capacity, safety record, or commercial experience.
Slow, fragmented bidding
Bids vary wildly in scope and price. Apples-to-apples comparison is nearly impossible.
High risk of project delays
One missed inspection or scope gap can stall a project for months and balloon costs.
A structured layer between owners and contractors.
Switchgear Brokers operates the deal — not just the lead. We pre-qualify, match, standardize, and manage every project end to end.
Qualify
We intake projects and underwrite them for scope, financeability, and code exposure before any contractor sees the deal.
Match
Each qualified project is matched only with vetted contractors that fit the trade, scale, and geography of the work.
Close
We standardize scope and pricing, manage bid review, and track the deal through permitting, execution, and close.
A four-step operating system for commercial electrical projects.
Repeatable. Documented. Designed to compress timelines without skipping compliance.
Project intake & qualification
Owners submit scope. We underwrite the building, electrical conditions, financing, and code exposure.
Contractor matching
Only contractors that fit trade, capacity, geography, and safety record are invited to bid.
Scope & pricing standardization
We produce a single normalized scope so bids are comparable line-by-line.
Deal tracking through close
We manage selection, contracting, permitting milestones, and execution oversight.
One platform. Three audiences. Aligned incentives.

"We had three open electrical projects across our portfolio sitting on hold for over a year. Switchgear Brokers turned them into bid-ready packages we could actually compare in under three weeks."
Common questions.
- How do you qualify projects?
- Each project is reviewed for building type, electrical conditions, scope viability, financing, and code exposure. We only move forward with projects that have a real path to close.
- How do contractors get selected?
- Contractors are vetted on licensing, insurance, safety record, crew capacity, and commercial experience. We invite only contractors who fit the trade, scale, and geography of the project.
- What kinds of properties do you serve?
- Commercial only — office, industrial, retail, healthcare, multi-tenant, and similar. We do not handle single-family or residential work.
- How do you charge?
- A success fee of 5–12% of contract value, tiered by project size, paid only when a project closes. There are no subscription or lead-purchase fees.
- How do you avoid low-quality leads?
- We underwrite every project before it enters the platform. Contractors only see qualified, financeable opportunities — not raw inbound.
