Bennett Electric, Since 1995

Bennett-owned, Valdosta-rooted, on schedule for thirty years

Bennett Electric and Industrial Contractors has been wiring South Georgia commercial and industrial projects since 1995. Our specialty is design-build work, plant maintenance, generator installations, and parking-lot lighting across hotels, schools, retail, and industrial sites from Valdosta out to Tifton and Perry.

We are licensed, bonded, and insured up to $5 million - enough to bid alongside the national contractors on hospitality and institutional projects, with bonding available on substantial-amount jobs. Crews are background-screened and drug-tested, and we have built and maintained eighteen named commercial projects across the region, plus hundreds more for the builders and facility owners who know us by name.

"We show up when we say we will. Thirty years of it."

Led by Ricky Bennett, owner.

BEFORE YOU BID

What South Georgia builders ask us first

Seven questions we hear from project managers, GCs, and facility owners. If yours isn't here, call us.

How does your bidding process work?

We accept plans by email or shared drive, walk the site with you or your GC, return a fixed-price bid with scope and lead time inside seven business days for typical commercial scopes - faster on plant-maintenance or single-trade scopes. Bonds and Certificates of Insurance available before contract.

What lead times should we plan around?

Plant maintenance and small commercial scopes: same-week scheduling. Design-build and full new-construction wiring: typical lead time runs four to twelve weeks depending on permit + material availability, less when you bring us in at the planning stage.

Are your crews drug-tested?

Yes - drug-tested on intake and randomly throughout. We have been a drug-free workplace since the program launched in South Georgia. Most institutional and hospitality clients require it; our certificate is available before crew shows up on site.

What are your insurance and bonding limits?

General liability and umbrella coverage to $5 million. Bonding capacity is available on substantial-amount projects; for the specific bond required by your bid, ask Ricky or the office and we'll confirm before bid close.

Do you work directly with owners or only through a GC?

Both. Roughly half our work is directly for owners (facility owners, school districts, hospitality groups, retail chains); the other half is through general contractors. The contracting structure changes how invoices flow; the install standard does not.

What does "24-hour emergency service" actually cover?

Emergency callout is available for clients we already work with - plant down, lights out across a hospitality site, a panel failure mid-event. We do not run a public 24-hour dispatch; the line we keep open is for project clients with active contracts or recent jobs. New facilities: call during business hours to set up coverage before you need it.

How far do you travel for projects?

Headquartered in Valdosta. Most of our work is within a 90-mile radius - South Georgia from Tifton west to Bainbridge, north to Cordele, plus the North Florida corridor when projects warrant. For larger scopes outside that radius, we travel; ask.
