Know which new-build electrical leads are worth a site walk
Ask every developer or GC for building type, construction stage, and whether plans are approved before you commit to a site walk, with site drawings or permit sets attached so estimators aren't starting from zero.
The exact intake your new construction electrical leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for New Construction Electrical — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified new construction electrical lead should tell you
Electrical design, rough-in, and power distribution work performed on a new commercial building before occupancy, scoped against construction stage, approved plans, and building type.
- Building This New Construction
- Current Construction Stage Building
- Have Approved Architectural Or
- What Size Building In
- Role On This Project
- Already Selected Or Hired
The questions your team needs answered
Every new construction electrical intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of building is this new construction project for? | Building type indicates whether the project needs standard commercial wiring or specialized coordination, as with a medical or healthcare facility. |
| What is the current construction stage of the building? | Construction stage is the strongest signal for whether a site walk is actionable now, since a project with no ground broken isn't ready for electrical work. |
| Do you have approved architectural or electrical plans for this project? | Approved plans indicate the project has cleared design and permitting hurdles that would otherwise delay any estimate you provide. |
| Approximately what is the size of the building in square feet? | Square footage helps size the crew and timeline needed before you schedule a site walk for a small office versus a large warehouse. |
| What is your role on this project? | Role identifies whether you're talking to the party who controls budget and scope decisions or an intermediary like an architect. |
| Have you already selected or hired a general contractor for this project? | Whether a GC is already selected determines if you'd contract directly with the owner or need to go through a bidding process. |

Built for new construction electrical workflows
| Cliont capability | New Construction Electrical application |
|---|---|
| Conditional scoring logic | Weights the construction-stage answer so 'ready for rough-in' and 'framing or shell complete' score higher than 'ground has not been broken yet,' keeping early-stage inquiries from outranking jobs that need a site walk now. |
| Role-based lead weighting | Applies higher weight to property owners, developers, and general contractors than to architects or 'other' roles, since the answer to who's submitting the form indicates who controls scope and budget. |
| Document collection | Requests approved plan sets or site drawings alongside the intake answers so an estimator can review scope before the site walk instead of requesting documents afterward. |
| CRM routing | Sends qualified new-construction leads — building type, stage, size, and plan status included — straight into your CRM instead of a shared inbox, so nothing tied to an active bid gets missed. |
Common new construction electrical lead scenarios
Ready for rough-in now
Shell is complete, plans are approved, and a GC is already on board — the intake flags this as time-sensitive and worth scheduling a site walk immediately.
Ground not broken yet
The building hasn't broken ground and no GC is selected — the intake still routes the lead but lower construction-stage weighting keeps it from crowding out active jobs.
Architect scoping early design
An architect fills out the intake during pre-permit design without approved plans yet, so the role and plan-status answers together signal a longer sales cycle rather than an immediate project.
Large industrial build
A warehouse or industrial project over 100,000 sq ft comes in with a GC already selected — building type and square footage together indicate a project scale that needs a different crew and timeline than a small office fit-out.
Owner without a GC yet
A property owner submits the intake before hiring a general contractor, which changes who you'd be negotiating scope and payment terms with even if the construction stage looks advanced.

New Construction Electrical lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake keep pre-construction inquiries from filling my calendar?
The construction-stage question separates projects that haven't broken ground from those ready for rough-in, so early-stage inquiries score lower and don't compete with jobs that are actually ready for a site walk.
Does the form check whether plans are actually approved?
Yes — the intake asks directly whether approved architectural or electrical plans exist, since a project without approved plans usually isn't ready to estimate yet regardless of how far construction has progressed.
Can the intake tell me if I'm talking to the decision-maker?
The role question distinguishes property owners and developers from architects, facility managers, or other contacts, so you know who actually controls the scope and budget before you commit time.
What if the owner hasn't hired a general contractor yet?
The intake asks whether a GC has already been selected, which matters because it changes whether you'd be contracting directly with the owner or bidding through a GC's process.
Does building size affect how the lead is handled?
Square footage is captured as a range from under 5,000 sq ft to over 100,000 sq ft, which lets you separate small office fit-outs from large industrial or multifamily builds that need a different crew and timeline.
How is this different from your Industrial Electrical or Electrical Service Upgrade intake?
New Construction Electrical is scoped around building type, construction stage, and approved plans for ground-up projects, while Industrial Electrical and Electrical Service Upgrade use catalogs built around existing facilities and equipment rather than a building that hasn't been occupied yet.
