What Phalcon does

Phalcon, Ltd. is a privately held family of electrical contracting companies headquartered in Farmington, Connecticut, operating across the eastern United States through five wholly-owned subsidiaries: Harlan Electric (Southeast), McPhee Electric, Ltd. (New England and Mid-Atlantic utility and wireless), PowerHawke, Inc. (BIM, prefabrication, and engineering), Ravex Systems, Inc. (renewable energy, fuel cells, EV charging), and J.E. Richards Electric (Washington D.C. metro data centers and critical power, in operation since 1983). Founded in 2005 and led by Principal and President Michael McPhee, Phalcon employs approximately 1,800 engineers, technicians, electricians, and project managers delivering design/build, EPC, maintenance, and 24/7 emergency services to utility, commercial, institutional, industrial, healthcare, education, and hyperscale datacenter customers.

The company's core technical platform centers on integrated BIM/VDC management (Autodesk Revit, Dynamo, Navisworks) and a 100,000 sq ft prefabrication facility in Lanham, Maryland that produces panelboards, switchgear, transformers, conduit assemblies, and complex modules in a controlled environment. Phalcon reports that more than 75% of electrical infrastructure on major datacenter projects is prefabricated using BIM coordination, with field labor reductions exceeding 20% and near-zero rework cited on a 115kV-345kV substation project. The firm also delivers turnkey Engineer-Procure-Construct solutions, Arc Flash Risk Assessments under NFPA 70E, and emergency power restoration across the Boston-to-Washington D.C. corridor.

Phalcon generates revenue primarily through project-based professional services contracts — design/build, EPC, and turnkey engagements — with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers and quote-based, project-specific billing. Customers include Amazon (HQ2 and Metropolitan Park 6/7/8), Vanderbilt Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital, Tennessee State Museum, Hartford Hospital, UConn, Merck, Fannie Mae, MGM National Harbor, Boeing, DC United/Audi Field, National Grid, and a confidential major internet service provider for a 50-100MW datacenter. The firm is closely held under the McPhee family, with no disclosed institutional investors or public listing, and is recognized through NECA Excellence Awards, Washington Building Congress Craftsmanship Awards (2023), and a 2022 STIC Safety Achievement Award of Merit.
