What We Handle on Your Commercial Build
Every phase of commercial electrical, from the first temporary pole to the final inspection sign-off.
Florida Code Compliance & Electrical Specifications
NEC 2023 & Florida Building Code
All commercial new construction electrical work is designed and installed to NEC 2023 as adopted by the Florida Building Code. We stay current on code cycles and local amendments, counties throughout Florida each have specific adoption timelines and local amendments we track.
3-Phase Service Design
Most commercial new construction requires 208V or 480V 3-phase service. We perform load calculations per NEC Article 220 and size the service entrance, main distribution panel, and feeders for both current load and planned future expansion, a critical specification decision that's expensive to revisit after occupancy.
AFCI & GFCI Requirements
Florida's adoption of NEC 2023 expands AFCI and GFCI requirements significantly in commercial occupancies. We design circuit layouts that satisfy these requirements efficiently, avoiding costly add-on protection devices through proper panel and circuit design from the start.
Energy Code Compliance (FECC)
The Florida Energy Conservation Code (FECC) requires lighting power density compliance, occupancy sensor controls, and daylight harvesting in many commercial occupancies. We design lighting systems that meet FECC requirements and coordinate with the mechanical engineer on HVAC control integration.
Underground & Duct Bank Standards
Underground service entrance, feeder conduit, and duct bank installations must meet specific depth, conduit type, and encasement requirements under the Florida Building Code and local utility standards. We coordinate with the civil engineer and utility on routing and specifications before trenching begins.
Fire Alarm & Life Safety Rough-In
NFPA 72 and Florida Fire Prevention Code requirements for new commercial construction include specific wiring methods, conduit fill, and separation requirements for fire alarm circuits. We rough-in fire alarm conduit and wiring in coordination with the fire alarm system designer and AHJ requirements.

Working with General Contractors & Developers
Coastline Electric Inc. has built long-term relationships with general contractors and commercial developers throughout Central Florida. We understand that your reputation depends on your subs showing up, staying on schedule, and communicating proactively, and that's exactly what we deliver.
We assign a dedicated project manager to every commercial build. They attend job meetings, submit RFIs promptly, coordinate with the GC's superintendent on scheduling, and provide regular updates on material lead times and manpower. When issues arise, and they always do on construction projects, we bring solutions, not excuses.
Our AVETTA certification means we already meet the safety and compliance requirements of many major commercial clients and property management companies. We carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and our team is OSHA-10 trained.
If you're a GC or developer looking for a reliable electrical subcontractor across Florida, we'd welcome the opportunity to bid your next project. Call us at (727) 862-7950 or email office@coastlineelectric.us.
