Permit path
West Hollywood projects commonly require city permit coordination and utility capacity review for multifamily buildings, retail, hospitality, EV chargers, and commercial electrical work.
Property context
West Hollywood includes condos, apartments, retail, restaurants, hospitality spaces, offices, and older mixed use buildings where panel capacity and access planning are important.

Benefits
Technology That Grows With You
We design outlet and control solutions that scale with your business. For lighting, we implement 0–10V dimming, DALI, and phase‑cut controls matched to your LED drivers for flicker‑free performance. Wireless systems such as Lutron Vive and Crestron Zūm reduce disruption during tenant improvements and are ideal for changing floor plans. For power, we specify USB‑C PD receptacles, isolated ground for AV racks, and WR/TR devices in public or patio areas. Everything is labeled, documented, and ready for future expansion.
Complete Code Compliance
Shaffer Construction handles submittals, Title 24 forms, and inspections so your team doesn’t have to. We integrate 2022 California Electrical Code requirements, including GFCI protection per 210.8(B) in other‑than‑dwelling locations, and ensure ADA mounting heights (typically 15–48 inches AFF) where required. For lighting, we incorporate occupancy/vacancy sensors, multi‑level controls, and time‑switch shutoff to satisfy the Energy Code. When acceptance testing is required, we coordinate with certified technicians to close out your permit without delays.
Expert Workmanship Every Time
Commercial spaces demand durability. We install UL‑listed, spec‑grade receptacles and switches from Lutron, Leviton, Hubbell, and Legrand, using 12‑AWG copper conductors on 20A branch circuits where appropriate, and properly rated boxes, connectors, and faceplates. For dimming, we select ELV/MLV or 0–10V controls matched to fixture drivers to avoid flicker and hum. All terminations are torque‑verified; circuits are identified and labeled; and installations follow NFPA 70E safe work practices for a reliable, long‑life result.
Designed for Your Business
We begin by mapping your current circuits and loads, then consult with your operations team to understand POS locations, display lighting needs, and after‑hours cleaning routines. We evaluate panel capacity, neutral loading for LED retrofits, and voltage (120/208V or 277V lighting) to select compatible dimmers and devices. We provide finish options to match interiors, from stainless wall plates for restaurant back‑of‑house to low‑profile Decora in showrooms. Your plan includes detailed schedules, device counts, and phasing to minimize downtime.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit in West Hollywood to add new receptacles in my tenant space?+
Like‑for‑like device swaps typically don’t require a permit, but adding new receptacles, running new circuits, or modifying lighting controls usually does. The City of West Hollywood Building and Safety Division reviews permits; simple over‑the‑counter approvals are common, while larger scopes may require plan check and Title 24 documentation. We’ll advise you during assessment and handle the paperwork if a permit is needed.
Can you work after hours so we don’t disrupt business on Santa Monica Boulevard?+
Yes. We regularly perform evening or early‑morning installations for restaurants, bars, and retailers. We pre‑stage devices, bring drop cloths and containment, and coordinate access with your manager. Most device projects finish in a few hours to one day, allowing you to reopen with upgraded outlets and controls and no lost sales.
Our lighting is 277V. Do your dimmers and controls support that?+
We frequently service 277V commercial lighting. We select 0–10V dimmers and relay packs rated for your voltage and match controls to the exact LED drivers specified. Where needed, we use wireless systems like Lutron Vive to minimize wiring changes during operating hours. We fully test for flicker and low‑level dimming before turnover.
How do you ensure Title 24 compliance for our lighting controls?+
We review your space type and apply required controls: occupancy/vacancy sensors, multi‑level lighting, and automatic shutoff. We document devices, program settings, and, when acceptance testing is mandated, coordinate with a certified technician. This approach streamlines inspections and ensures your energy savings are realized in daily operations.
