Based in Moline, Illinois, Point Electric provides experienced commercial and residential electrical design/build services to the Greater Quad-Cities Area. Our reach extends to commercial and industrial projects throughout the upper Midwest and beyond.
Point Electric is proud to serve locations in the Quad Cities Area including Moline, Rock Island, Davenport, Bettendorf, East Moline, and more. We also cover the nearby areas of Galena, Clinton, Walcott, Muscatine, Dixon, Sterling, Geneseo and Galesburg for residential electrical projects. We also serve a larger area of Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, and Wisconsin for large commercial and industrial projects.
Design-Build is a streamlined project delivery method where you hire one contractor to handle both the design and construction phases of your project. In our case, this means we manage both the planning and implementation of your electrical system. We take your initial concepts, discuss your electrical needs, design your electrical plan, and carry out the work seamlessly.
This contrasts with the Design-Bid-Build method, where an engineering firm designs the project, and various contractors bid to complete the work.
Many construction firms offer design-build services. However, in most projects the electrical system is still subcontracted—separating design decisions from installation realities.
With Point Electric, electrical specialists lead the process from concept through completion. This specialist-led approach delivers advantages general contractor-led projects typically cannot match:
When electrical infrastructure is treated as a core system—not a subcontracted phase—projects run more efficiently and deliver better long-term results.
Streamlined Communication
You work with one accountable team responsible for both design and installation. This eliminates communication gaps and simplifies decision-making throughout the project.
Faster Project Timelines
Because planning and construction are coordinated by the same team, projects move forward without delays between design approval and installation.
More Accurate Budgeting
Our designers and electricians collaborate from the start, producing realistic pricing based on actual materials, labor, and equipment availability.
Reduced Change Orders
Potential conflicts are identified early, minimizing costly revisions during construction.
Flexible Project Execution
If adjustments are needed, the same team can modify designs quickly without slowing progress.
1. Consultation & System Planning
We evaluate your facility requirements, load demands, and future expansion goals.
2. Integrated Design & Budgeting
Our designers and field electricians collaborate to create accurate plans and pricing.
3. Coordinated Installation
Because the design and installation teams are unified, projects move forward efficiently without handoffs.
4. Ongoing Support
We remain a long-term partner for maintenance, upgrades, and system optimization.

When should I involve an electrical design-build contractor in my project?
The earlier the better. Involving a specialist during planning helps prevent redesigns, improves budget accuracy, and ensures electrical infrastructure supports future needs.
Can you work with our architect or general contractor?
Yes. Point Electric frequently collaborates with project teams to provide electrical design expertise and installation services within larger construction projects.
How accurate is pricing in a design-build project?
Because system design and installation planning happen together, pricing is typically more accurate than traditional bid-based projects. Material selection, equipment lead times, and installation requirements are considered from the start.
What types of facilities benefit most from electrical design-build?
Projects with complex power needs, system integration requirements, or future expansion plans benefit most, including commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and custom construction projects.
Do you provide service after the project is completed?
Yes. Ongoing support, maintenance, and system upgrades are available to ensure long-term performance and reliability.
What makes a specialist-led design-build approach different?
When electrical experts lead both design and installation, systems are planned for real-world conditions, improving efficiency, reducing delays, and supporting long-term performance.
If you’re planning new construction, a renovation, or a facility expansion, working with an electrical design-build specialist can simplify the entire process.
