The single largest expense for an electrical contractor
on any commercial construction project is labor. While it
is important to have experienced electricians installing
sophisticated electrical systems, much of their time is
spent on labor-intensive rough-in tasks, assembling the
thousands of components that come together in a wall or
ceiling to route, terminate, support and protect a complex
commercial or institutional electrical system. Material-
handling aspects — getting all of the components to the
proper location on the jobsite — can be a time-consuming,
labor-intensive process as well. Thomas & Betts offers
innovative solutions to reduce installation costs.
