Not Just Power—Partnership: How Egan Electrifies Construction Projects

Tuesday, August 12th, 2025

Whether it’s powering a high-rise, streamlining a hospital expansion, or ensuring round-the-clock performance at a mission-critical site, Egan Company’s electrical teams deliver more than just power—they bring strategic foresight, technical precision, and unmatched collaboration.

To uncover what truly sets Egan’s electrical services apart, we sat down with three key leaders: Grant Price, Senior Vice President of Electrical; Jason Rosati, Vice President of Electrical Special Projects; and Jason Brown, Electrical Business Group Manager. Together, they offered a comprehensive, behind-the-scenes look at how Egan’s electrical divisions work seamlessly to deliver industry-leading results across sectors.

A Full-Circuit Approach
“We’re not just wiring buildings,” Price shared. “We’re enabling businesses to operate more efficiently, safely, and reliably.” Egan’s electrical capabilities extend across multiple interconnected groups—including Industrial Controls, Outdoor Electrical, Electrical Special Projects, Electrical Construction, Southern MN,  and teams dedicated to commercial and mission-critical builds. While scopes range between installing a single outlet and powering massive data centers, every group contributes to a broader, unified electrical offering.

“The goal is for customers to see the full picture,” said Rosati. “They might know we install lighting or build control panels, but it’s the coordination between our groups that truly unlocks more value.”

Whether it’s a power distribution and lighting system or low-voltage infrastructure and advanced control integration, there’s hardly a system Egan’s teams haven’t tackled. We design, build, and support a wide range of environments—corporate campuses, healthcare facilities, manufacturing plants, and more—all while adhering to strict safety standards like NFPA 70E, NFPA 70B,  and energy code compliance.

Design Smarts Meet Jobsite Strategy
As the conversation shifted toward how Egan approaches Design/Assist and Design/Build projects, one principle became clear: partnership is everything. “We aim to get involved as early as possible,” said Brown. “The sooner we’re at the table, the better we can align expectations, navigate constraints, and help future-proof the system.”

The team detailed how they balance owner expectations with budget requirements—often drawing on their broad experience and internal resources to recommend long-lasting, cost-effective solutions. This includes participating in walkthroughs, interpreting vague narratives, and asking the right questions to ensure the delivered system meets performance needs. “Would you install it in your grandma’s house?” Rosati joked. “That’s our gut check.”

Prefab That Powers Productivity
Prefabrication is another area where Egan excels—especially when it comes to compressing timelines and enhancing safety. Whether it’s assembling conduit racks, underground duct banks, or room-in-a-box electrical kits, prefab ensures field teams can stay focused on installing, not assembling. “When prefab is done right, it accelerates everything,” Rosati emphasized. “Our jobsites are safer, cleaner, and more efficient. That’s what GCs and customers care about—and so do we.”

Staying Ahead of the Curve
Technology and sustainability trends continue to shape Egan’s work. Lighting controls, daylight harvesting, and all-electric buildings are becoming more common, especially as local and national codes evolve.

“We’re seeing the electrification of everything,” said Price. “We worked on a 400,000-square-foot research facility that runs completely on electricity—no gas. That kind of project is paving the way for what’s next.” Still, the team was quick to note that while sustainability is critical, they focus first on meeting requirements and delivering solutions that last. It’s about balance—not buzzwords. 

Relationships that Matter
One often overlooked value-add for Egan customers? Strategic relationships—not just with vendors, but with a robust peer network across the country. Backed by preferred vendor certifications with trusted manufacturers like 3M and Rockwell Automation—and strengthened by long-standing partnerships with peer firms—Egan leverages an expansive network that brings tangible benefits to every project. These relationships aren’t just symbolic—they create real advantages in the field.

“These relationships mean faster procurement, better pricing, and access to specialized resources,” said Rosati. “They can be the difference between delay and delivery.”

Peer group connections, in particular, allow Egan to collaborate on best practices, stay ahead of market trends, and extend capabilities when needed.

One Team. One Electrical Story.
In wrapping up the conversation, the leaders circled back to a common challenge: telling the full story of Egan Electrical. “Customers—and even some internal folks—sometimes only see one piece of the puzzle,” said Price. “But when you zoom out, you realize how much we actually do.”

Whether it’s installing critical infrastructure or solving complex, no-shutdown electrical cutovers, Egan’s electrical group is built to support every stage of a building’s lifecycle—with one point of contact and a whole lot of capability behind it. After all, when it comes to electrical, there’s more to leverage.

Discover Egan: Delivering Fabrication

Fabrication: the name of the game when it comes to meeting deadlines and budgets and improving control over the supply chain. Egan Company’s state-of-the-art shops staffed by skilled tradespeople fabricate piping, plumbing, electrical components, panels, curtainwall, and metal panels.

Prefabrication projects are completed within our local shops with access to the necessary resources on demand. Our investment in continually improving the process is evident through preconstruction planning and feeding virtual construction plans directly into the fabrication equipment – both of which improve quality and save our customers time and money.

Fabrication capabilities include:

Plumbing and piping – A variety of deliverable products depart from our mechanical shop. When it comes to plumbing and piping systems, this includes everything from tube and pipe to hangers/supports. Modular custom-built systems are also at play in this fabrication shop to meet customers needs.

UL 508A panels – Our panel team creates custom control panels, designed and built in house. With precision assembly we configure panels of all shapes and sizes in our 12,000 square-foot panel shop. Shop features include: Steinhauer ModCenter (automated hole/cutout machine for enclosures), custom label manufacturing, OEM manufacturing, 6S methodology.

Electrical – Our design and virtual electrical teams map out projects virtually before they move on to be built in our shop and installed on site. 

Curtainwall and metal panels – The InterClad team is able to fast track their curtainwall and panel projects with in-house drafting and engineering, matched with fast fabrication and assembly in their shop. The new addition of a CNC machine furthers the efficiency of this shop.

Working with Egan allows fabrication with no bounds – our capabilities will streamline your project to completion. The benefits of prefabricating your project are endless:

  • Work is simplified and standardized
  • Easier trade coordination with reduced task durations
  • Increased quality of product
  • Reduced crew on the jobsite
  • Reduced deliveries and storage required on-site
  • Reduced wasted materials
  • Lower overall cost
  • Increased safety in controlled environment

Prefabrication Proves Priceless

Friday, February 10th, 2017

After a recent renovation and expansion, Park Nicollet’s Prairie Center Clinic is now running on a more efficient electrical system. Egan electrician’s converted the existing 208 volt service to 800 ampere, 277/480 volt, 3PH/4W service. In order to maintain daily operations, utility power shut down service was completed during clinic off hours.

The equipment needed to be small enough to move through the existing building corridors and doorways, and then fit into the limited space of the existing service location. To reduce shutdown time, Egan designed, fabricated, and assembled a service panel, feeders, and transformer mounting frame assembly to fit the building’s restricted space requirements.

This utilization of prefabricated components provided added cost savings for the customer and resulted in a reduced project timeline.
