Building new or adding on is where electrical work has to be right the first time. Boston Light & Power wires new construction, additions, and full renovations across Boston and the South Shore.
From kitchen additions to whole new spaces, we run the circuits, set the lighting, and size the service so everything is safe, code-compliant, and ready for inspection.
The electrical is one of the trades that gets built into the bones of a project, so mistakes here are expensive to fix later. Getting it planned and roughed-in correctly the first time keeps the whole build on schedule.
On a build or addition, the electrical decisions you make early shape how the finished space actually works: where the light falls, where the outlets are, whether there is capacity for what you will add later. We help you make those calls at the point when they are still easy and inexpensive to change.
What we handle
- Complete wiring for additions, new builds, and gut renovations
- Kitchen and bath circuits, including dedicated appliance lines
- Recessed lighting, fixtures, switches, and outlets
- Service and panel upgrades to support the added load
- Coordination with your general contractor and inspector
We work with your GC
Most additions and new builds run on a schedule with other trades. We are used to working alongside general contractors, hitting rough-in and finish deadlines, and keeping the electrical from becoming the thing that holds up the job. Clear communication and showing up on time are half the work on a busy site.
Plan the electrical early
The best time to think about lighting layout, outlet placement, and service capacity is before the walls close up. Adding a lot of new space often means a service upgrade, and a good lighting and circuit plan makes a room work the way you actually live in it. We help you get it right up front, when changes are cheap instead of expensive.
Rough-in and finish, done right
New construction and additions have two electrical phases: the rough-in, where wiring goes in before the walls are closed, and the finish, where devices, fixtures, and the panel are completed. Both matter. A clean rough-in that is planned around your real needs makes the finish smooth, and a careful finish is what you actually see and use every day. We treat both with the same care.
What to expect
We start by reviewing your plans and talking through how you will use the space, then scope the electrical to match. You get a clear proposal and schedule that fits into the larger build. We coordinate with your GC and inspector, complete the rough-in and finish on time, and handle the permits so the electrical never becomes the bottleneck.

On a new build or addition, the electrical is buried in the walls, so getting it wrong is expensive to fix later. A good electrical contractor thinks past code minimums to how you will actually live in the space: enough outlets in the right places, lighting that suits each room, and service capacity for the things you will add in a few years. We bring that thinking to every project, and we keep pace with your other trades so we are never the reason the schedule slips.
