Budget $3.50–$6.50 per watt of critical IT load for the electrical scope of a new data center, depending on redundancy topology (N, N+1, 2N), medium-voltage scope, and schedule. A 36 MW build typically lands between $126M and $234M for electrical. We price every project from engineered drawings.

Most commercial new construction electrical in Texas runs $18–$45 per square foot. Office shell and core sits at the low end; labs, healthcare, and high-density technical space push toward the top. Service and maintenance labor runs $145–$210 per hour depending on crew classification.

Design-build is usually better for data centers because gear procurement can start before drawings are 100% complete, which matters when switchgear lead times run 40–60 weeks. Design-bid-build is better when the owner needs maximum price competition on a fully engineered design. We deliver both.

Yes. PowerBoy Electrical Services holds Texas Electrical Contractor License TECL #XXXXX through TDLR, is fully bonded and insured, and staffs 28 master electricians. Certificates of insurance and bonding capacity letters are available on request.

Our sweet spot is $1M–$250M+ electrical contracts: hyperscale data centers, manufacturing plants, hospital towers, and large commercial new construction. We carry the bonding capacity, workforce, and in-house engineering for multi-year, multi-phase programs.

Yes. We are headquartered in Fort Worth and self-perform across Texas, and we mobilize nationally for data center and mission-critical clients, licensing by reciprocity or partnering with local licensees where required.

For emergency and fast-track work in Texas we can typically have supervision on site within 24–48 hours and a full crew mobilized inside two weeks. Large-project mobilization is scheduled around procurement and site readiness.

Yes. We install standby generator plants, paralleling switchgear, UPS modules, and battery systems, and we support Level 1–5 commissioning alongside the owner's commissioning agent through integrated systems testing.

Yes. We self-perform medium-voltage distribution to 35kV: unit substations, MV switchgear, feeder duct banks, cable terminations and splicing, plus VLF/partial-discharge testing with NETA-certified partners.

We release gear packages early — often before permit drawings are final — using our in-house engineering to lock ratings and one-line topology first. On recent projects that pulled 40–60 week switchgear deliveries inside the construction schedule instead of behind it.

Yes. We run preventive maintenance programs for commercial and mission-critical facilities: infrared scanning, breaker testing and exercising, gear cleaning and torque checks, generator load banking, and 24/7 emergency response for contract clients.

Our EMR is 0.68 — roughly 32% better than the industry baseline of 1.0. Every field employee is OSHA 30 trained, we run a full NFPA 70E electrical safety program, and energized work requires an engineered permit.

No. PowerBoy Electrical Services is exclusively a commercial, industrial, and mission-critical contractor. For residential work we recommend contacting a licensed residential electrician in your area.
