The company provides full-scope electrical construction, 24/7 service and maintenance, and low-voltage technology systems to commercial, healthcare, data center, industrial, hospitality, education, aviation, and public-sector clients across Texas and Oklahoma. With more than 2,000 employees and six offices (Garland, Austin, Fort Worth, Houston, Oklahoma City, and Tulsa), Prism delivers projects ranging from one-day service calls to multi-million-dollar installations, including flagship work such as the Moody Center, DFW Airport Terminal A, SMU's Weber End Zone Complex, and a 110 MW data center contract valued at $124 million.

The company operates through three divisions — Construction, Service, and Technology (operating as Prism Technology Group). The Construction division is supported by The HUB, a 42,000-square-foot prefabrication facility, and an 18-person Virtual Design/BIM team that produces LOD 400 shop drawings using Revit and Navisworks. The Service division runs round-the-clock emergency response, system reliability testing (arc flash, infrared thermography, breaker testing), industrial and medium-voltage work. The Technology division delivers life-safety, access control, fire alarm, healthcare technology, fiber, and structured cabling. Underpinning delivery is a comprehensive QA/QC program and a nationally recognized safety program led by 29 dedicated safety professionals.

Prism's business model is project-based professional services revenue, priced per project via design-assist, design-build, GMP, or hard-bid delivery methods, plus recurring service contracts for ongoing facility maintenance and emergency response. Go-to-market is relationship-driven direct field sales to general contractors, project owners, architects, and facility directors; the customer base spans marquee enterprise logos (Baylor Scott & White, Texas Children's, Parkland, H-E-B, The Cheesecake Factory, DFW Airport, JE Dunn, Winstar Casino, Texas Instruments). The company is closely held by founder Blake Combs (President), supported by a professionalized C-suite (CEO, COO, CFO), and is ranked #39 in the Top 50 Electrical Firms nationally and #128 in the ENR Specialty Contractor ranking.
