Tenant Build-Outs in Bayonet Point, FL

A Leased Suite, Wired to the Plan Pasco Reviews|Licensed & Insured, EC13011268

A business taking a suite in a Bayonet Point retail center needs its circuits, lighting, and panel worked out for that one space, then inspected before it opens. We price the electrical scope from a walk of the suite and its plans, then carry the work through rough-in, trim-out, and inspection.

Your suite number and the equipment going in are enough to start.

Leased Suites and Pasco's Package of Trades

Bayonet Point's storefronts line US 19 and State Road 52, and one commercial listing places a retail center on State Road 52 inside the Bayonet Point neighborhood. In Beacon Woods, the community's restrictions state that no business or commercial venture may be conducted on any lot, so an owner there who opens a business leases a suite in the corridors, and the electrical work starts in that space.

Pasco County's submittal list for a commercial renovation treats the job as a package of trades. The construction plans are digitally signed and sealed by a registered design professional, and the fire alarm, fire sprinkler, and kitchen hood suppression systems each require a permit of their own. The life-safety plan in that set shows where the exit signs and emergency lights are located. So the wiring is one part of a larger set of drawings, and the fire systems stay with the contractors who hold those permits.

How it runs

Where the County's Review Falls in the Job

  1. 1

    Plans in hand at the suite

    Our estimator goes through the unit with the plans open and the person running the build alongside. The written estimate comes from what that visit and the plans show. Where the last tenant left fixtures and circuits behind, the walk notes which of them the new layout can keep.

  2. 2

    Whose seal goes on the plans

    Pasco wants the construction plans signed and sealed by a registered design professional, and who that is depends on the project. The electrical layout and load figures should match what the architect or engineer who prepared those plans has drawn, so the sealed set matches what will be installed.

  3. 3

    What the electrical reviewer checks

    The county's electrical review looks at the services, the feeders and branch circuits, overcurrent protection, grounding, GFCIs, and the load calculation. The electrical sheets in that sealed set are what the reviewer reads, item by item.

  4. 4

    Permits that belong to someone else

    Fire alarm, sprinklers, hood suppression, irrigation, and an underground fire line each go through a permit of their own. On the electrical side, the general contractor's permit covers some jobs, and on others, the permit is ours.

  5. 5

    Rough-in, trim-out, and power on

    Boxes, conduit, and wire are installed and inspected before the drywall closes them in. After the finishes, devices and fixtures are set, each breaker is listed in the directory by what it now feeds, and the suite's power comes on.

What we cover

Circuits, Panels, and the Rest of the Electrical Review

Feeders, branch circuits, and the panel: The new layout's load is figured against the suite's existing panel and service. If the numbers don't fit, the answer may be a subpanel, a replacement panel, or more capacity arranged with the power company.

Lighting laid out to the ceiling plan: Fixtures placed where the reflected ceiling plan puts them, with LED fixtures for a suite being refitted, and switching set up for how the space will be used.

Receptacles, GFCIs, and equipment circuits: Outlets where counters, desks, and displays will stand, GFCI protection where the code calls for it, and a dedicated circuit for equipment that needs one.

Power for the other trades: Temporary lighting and receptacles while the suite is still under construction, so framers, drywall crews, and painters can work before its own power is live.

Three-phase for heavy equipment: A shop or kitchen running large motors can be fed with three-phase power where the building's service has it.

Pricing

Our Estimate for a Leased Suite

01

Custom homes and large or multi-phase projects are estimated as soon as we can, or on the timeline your project sets.

02

Repair and troubleshooting visits are billed by the hour from arrival: $100 residential, $150 commercial, one-hour minimum, then half-hour increments, plus materials. No trip charge and no service fee. No hidden fees: the 3.5% surcharge on card and ACH payments is listed in our terms.

03

We don't do upfront pricing. No job has a standard price with us: each one is tailored to the property and the work you've asked for, and priced once we've seen it.

We offer free estimates on installs, upgrades, and replacements in our service area. Estimates aren't free when the job needs troubleshooting or testing to price, falls after hours or outside our service area, needs several meetings to gather information, or is new construction or a custom remodel with multi-party walk-throughs. For most jobs, estimates arrive by email by the end of the next business day, and quotes are good for 30 days.

Our warranty

04

If something we installed fails because of our workmanship within 30 days of completion, we waive the hourly labor to put it right. Materials Kennedy Electric purchases for your job carry the manufacturer's one-year warranty. To replace defective materials we supplied, or materials damaged by storm, flood, fire, or other acts of God, we charge a reduced warranty labor rate of $50 an hour residential and $75 an hour commercial. The warranty does not cover materials not purchased by Kennedy Electric, work performed by the customer, or materials the customer purchased or damaged. Our warranty terms are printed on the estimate, the invoice, and the receipt, and the product boxes stay with you so you can register each product with its manufacturer.

Common questions

Leasing a Storefront on the Corridors

We live here in Bayonet Point and are opening our first storefront in a suite on State Road 52. Where does the electrical side start?

With the equipment you're bringing. Larger pieces, such as a big printer or a freezer, can need a dedicated circuit in the new layout, while lighter loads can share one, so a list of what will run in the suite shapes its electrical plan.

Our suite shares a building on US 19 with several other tenants. Who handles work outside our walls?

The electrical work for your build-out stays inside your suite's drawings. Anything that serves the whole building, such as its main service or the common areas, is arranged with the property owner, so if your layout needs more from the building, that conversation starts with the landlord.

How early should we bring an electrician in?

Before the plans are sealed. If the load calculation shows the suite needs a larger panel or more capacity, the drawings change, and that's simpler while they're still being prepared than after the county has reviewed them. A circuit or receptacle moved at that stage is a change to drawings in progress rather than to sealed sheets.

Should we meet with the county before we apply?

The county strongly encourages a pre-submittal meeting with its staff. If you hold one, bring the equipment list, what you know about the suite's panel, and the reflected ceiling plan if it's drawn, so the electrical side is on the table with the rest of the package.

Our kitchen equipment calls for three-phase power. Can a suite on US 19 get it?

Where the building's service already has three-phase, the suite can be fed with it, and the walk-through checks the suite's panel and the building's service for that. If the building doesn't have it, adding it is a matter for the property owner and the power company, so the landlord is the first call.
