Design-Build Success: Custom Service Entrance Rated MDP for Schultz Electric

Client: Schultz Electric

Industry: Electrical Contracting

Location: Western Canada

Project Type: Custom-Built, Service Entrance Rated Main Distribution Panel (MDP)

Scope: Design | Fabrication | Testing & Delivery

Schultz Electric approached Current Group with a critical requirement: a custom service entrance rated main distribution panel (MDP) that could be designed, built, and delivered in less than 60 days. The client’s primary concern was overcrowded enclosures. They needed a custom solution with ample internal space for accessibility, simplified installation, and easy future maintenance.

Recognizing the urgency and technical complexity, Current Group executed the project as a fully managed design-build process, handling all phases internally from concept through final delivery.

From Challenge to Custom Solution

Time was the central challenge. The project had to be completed quickly while maintaining precision, safety, and compliance. In addition to the accelerated schedule, the client required a service entrance rated design that would serve as the primary power entry point and meet all utility and electrical code requirements.

Our design team collaborated closely with Schultz Electric to confirm specifications, optimize layout space, and ensure the finished panel would exceed expectations in both usability and quality.

Design-Build Approach

Current Group’s integrated design-build model allowed for efficient coordination between electrical design, fabrication, and testing — all under one roof. Every phase was executed with the client’s priorities in mind: quality, space, and speed.

Key focus areas included:

  • Service Entrance Rating: Fully compliant for use as the primary power entry point, meeting all relevant utility and electrical code standards.
  • Spacious Cabinet Layout: A roomy, custom-built enclosure to simplify installation and ensure safe, accessible maintenance for years to come.
  • High-Quality Construction: Industrial-grade materials, precision wiring, and a forward-thinking design for durability and performance.
  • Rapid Delivery: Completed from approval to delivery in just 58 days, demonstrating Current Group’s ability to meet tight timelines without compromising quality.

Key Takeaways

Every phase of the Schultz Electric project demonstrates the strength of Current Group’s integrated design-build approach. By combining in-house engineering, fabrication, and project management, our team delivered a fully compliant, service entrance rated main distribution panel on an aggressive timeline, without sacrificing quality or usability.

This project highlights how thoughtful electrical design and precise execution can turn tight deadlines into success stories. The result is a custom-built MDP that meets the highest safety standards, simplifies field installation, and provides long-term reliability for future service needs.
