About this trade
Most electrical shops in Calgary chase residential service work. Finding a crew that can sequence with a drywaller, hit an ESA inspection, and handle a tenant improvement on a 3-week turnaround is a different list — and a shorter one.
Syndex is that shorter list. Every electrical sub in the network is verified against Alberta WCB, manually reviewed, and confirms availability per-request. No bidding wars, no application forms, no homeowner work.
Common project types
What Calgary GCs hire electrical subs for.
Tenant improvements
Office, retail, restaurant fit-outs. Power, lighting, data drops, fire alarm tie-in.
Retail buildouts
New store builds and refits. Branded lighting, POS power, sign circuits, controls.
Panel upgrades & service
200A-400A upgrades for restaurant kitchens, light industrial, and aging strata.
Lighting refits
LED retrofits, controls upgrades, daylight harvesting. Energy-savings driven projects.
EV charger installs
Level 2 and DCFC for commercial parkades and fleet yards. Load calcs included.
What to know when hiring
Four things GCs check before they sign.
Match the journeyman ratio to the scope
A small TI might run journeyman + apprentice. A retail buildout with a tight timeline often needs 2 journeymen + 2 apprentices to hit the schedule.
Confirm AHJ + ESA scheduling capacity
Calgary inspection windows are tight. Ask the sub when they last booked an inspection and what's their typical lead time with the city.
Get permits sorted up front
Permit issuance can be the gating item. A working sub should be able to tell you which permits they'll pull and which are on you.
Coordinate with mechanical early
RTU power feeds, controls wiring, and exhaust interlocks all touch electrical. The sequencing between electrical and HVAC drives most TI delays.
