ABOUT US
"ANYTHING WORTH DOING IS WORTH OVER-DOING."
This axiom emphasizes IEC’s way of conducting business.
Founded in 1996, IEC specializes in electrical contracting and general contracting for commercial companies as well as government entities, which demand a strict adherence to schedule and the highest-caliber work. Through work with clients such as the U.S. Armed Forces, the Federal Aviation Administration and the General Services Administration, IEC brings this same “military spec” quality and commitment to excellence to all of our commercial clients here at home.
​
Through our extensive experience in electrical work, IEC is an efficient and effective subcontractor because we understand the scope of the project from the general contractor’s perspective. We’re capable of delivering complete solutions – including electrical engineering, project management and construction – through a focus on performance, safety and understanding of our clients’ mission and needs.
​
Higher performance, higher standards—it’s more than a tagline, it’s the visible commitment to excellence you’ll see from every IEC expert and in each project we complete.
OUR MISSION
To build to a higher standard through a focus on performance, safety and understanding our clients’ mission and needs.

People over Profits

Communicate
We will communicate regularly with our clients and amongst ourselves to align on goals, concerns, and to proactively overcome challenges together.
Adaptability
We will embrace change as part of our customer's needs and our business model and respond with solutions and positivity.
