Custom Electric
Core Markets
Focused Where Scale and Complexity Matter
Custom Electric excels in supporting projects that demand complex coordination, technical depth, and the ability to deliver under real-world conditions. Our work spans a broad range of sectors and construction environments, with a consistent focus on partnering closely with project teams to ensure seamless delivery from early design through final commissioning.
Buildings & Communities
Office, Retail, and Light Industrial Environments
Commercial & Light Industrial
Custom Electric boasts an extensive track record of commercial and light-industrial developments, from corporate office towers and retail centres to mixed-use communities and light manufacturing facilities. We deliver reliable, code-compliant electrical systems on budget and schedule, whether the project is a straightforward tenant improvement or a complex multi-phase development.
High-Rise, Mid-Rise, and Multi-Phase Communities
Residential & Multi-Family
From high-rise condominium towers to large-scale multi-family communities, Custom Electric leverages its coordination efficiency and workforce capacity required to deliver residential electrical systems on complex, phased schedules. We work closely with developers and construction managers to maintain alignment on sequencing, quality, and budget across every phase of the work.
Public Buildings, Universities, and Cultural Institutions
Institutional & Education
Custom Electric has delivered electrical systems for some of Alberta’s most prominent institutional and educational facilities, including performance venues, university buildings, libraries, and cultural centres. These projects demand precise coordination with multiple stakeholders, adherence to rigorous quality standards, and sensitivity to occupied or heritage environments.
Complex, Regulated, and Mission-Critical Environments
Healthcare & Hospitals
Healthcare construction demands a level of precision, regulatory compliance, and coordination that few electrical contractors are equipped to deliver consistently. Custom Electric has successfully completed hospital expansions, renovations, and retrofits across Alberta, navigating the unique challenges of occupied facilities, infection control requirements, and life-safety systems.
Unique Environments with Sensitive System Requirements
Zoo & Aquatics
Zoo and aquatics facilities present a distinctive set of electrical challenges — complex life-support systems, specialized lighting, high-humidity environments, and stringent animal welfare and safety requirements. Custom Electric has developed deep expertise in this sector through multiple engagements with the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo (WI/CZ), including large-scale IPD-delivered projects requiring a high degree of collaborative integration with the project team.
Infrastructure & Industrial
Industrial Process and Critical Infrastructure
Energy & Water Treatment
Controlled Assembly for Process and Industrial Applications
E-House & Skid Prewiring
Large-Scale Warehousing and Fulfillment Facilities
Distribution & Logistics
Distribution and logistics facilities demand fast-track delivery, large electrical service installations, and coordination with automated systems and material handling equipment. Custom Electric has established itself as a trusted partner in this sector, delivering some of Southern Alberta’s largest distribution facilities on accelerated schedules and within tight budget parameters.
Mission-Critical Power and Redundancy Systems
Data Centres
Data centre construction requires an uncompromising approach to power reliability, redundancy, and system integration. Custom Electric has delivered electrical systems for corporate data centres and technology campuses, working within the stringent design and commissioning requirements that mission-critical facilities demand.
Airports, Hangars, and Airside Infrastructure
Aviation
Custom Electric is among Alberta’s most experienced electrical contractors in the aviation sector, having completed over a dozen projects at Calgary International Airport (YYC), Springbank International Airport (YBW), and Fort McMurray Airport (YMM). Our work spans terminal upgrades, baggage handling systems, hangar construction, airside infrastructure, and multi-year master services agreements — all executed in accordance with the security, safety, and operational continuity requirements of active airport environments.
Remote Project Delivery in Demanding Conditions
Northern & Remote
Northern and remote project delivery introduces logistical, climatic, and workforce challenges that require careful planning, experienced supervision, and a team capable of executing with minimal support infrastructure. Custom Electric has the organizational depth and field experience to mobilize effectively in remote environments, maintaining the same standards of quality and coordination we apply to urban projects.
Selected projects: Giant Mine Water Treatment Plant, Stanton Legacy Redevelopment Base Building & TI, Avens Pavilion
Specialized Services
Secure Facilities with Stringent Compliance Requirements
Justice & Corrections
Justice and corrections facilities present some of the most demanding electrical construction environments — combining complex security system integration, rigorous compliance requirements, and the logistical challenges of working within highly controlled sites. Custom Electric has the clearance experience, coordination capability, and technical depth to deliver in these environments without compromising quality or schedule.
