The crews

Every installer and electrician on these jobs works for Pace.

Each crew follows our 56-page safety program and a plan written for its site.

When an installation is finished, we hand over a closeout package of drawings, serial numbers and programming files, and we train the people who will run it.

Send Pace the drawings or the list for your project.

A spreadsheet, a PDF, a part number or a set of drawings is enough for us to start from.

We usually quote standard items the same business day, but a quote that includes installation takes longer, because we plan the job before we price it.
