Electronics Store Construction

Electronics stores are full of powered displays, valuable stock and busy checkouts. HSM builds them with its own electrical and low voltage crews so power, data and security work together.

Electronics Store Construction

Power at every display

Demo walls, televisions, phones and computers all need power and often data at the point of display. Floor boxes, in-wall outlets and ceiling drops need to be planned with the fixture layout, since moving them later means opening finished surfaces.

Our Master Electrician-led crew sizes the panels and circuits for the real load, including lighting that is often brighter than in other stores, and installs outlets and data where displays will actually sit.

Security and loss prevention

High-value items call for cameras, alarms, access-controlled stockrooms and sometimes locked display cases or secured demo products. Our low voltage team, led by Adam Mason, installs surveillance, alarms and access control, and can tie them into the store network.

We build secure stockrooms and back-of-house areas with solid walls, proper doors and hardware, which our drywall and door crews handle in-house.

How HSM delivers this work. Highlighted trades are self-performed by our own crews.

Cooling the equipment and the shoppers

Lots of powered devices and bright lighting add heat to a store. Our mechanical team designs HVAC for these loads, so equipment and customers stay comfortable. Server and network closets need dedicated cooling.

Entrance heating is a practical matter in Alberta, where customers come in from the cold and carry large boxes through the door.

Fixtures, cash wraps and service areas

Many electronics stores include a service counter, pickup area or repair desk alongside the sales floor. Our carpenters and millwork team build counters with cable management built in, so devices are neat and serviceable.

Floors, walls and ceilings should take heavy wear and be easy to update when products or displays change.

What to plan for

Brand-supplied fixtures and displays can have long lead times. Confirm the delivery schedule, installation requirements and any vendor technicians before setting the opening date. Permits for signage, electrical work and mechanical changes should be started early so they do not hold up the opening.
