WB Moore Company

What WB Moore Company does

WB Moore Company is a privately held commercial and industrial electrical contracting firm headquartered at 916 N Poplar St, Charlotte, NC. Founded in 1978 by William Bruce Moore in Dallas, Texas as a merit shop electrical contractor, the firm relocated its full operations to Charlotte in 1993 under the leadership of Billy Graves, who continues as CEO and President, and has operated continuously in the Charlotte market since 1989. With a workforce of 251-500 employees, the company serves enterprise clients across banking (Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Duke Energy), healthcare (Novant Health, Sharon Towers, Tryon Medical Partners), education (Duke University, UNC), government (York County Government Center, North Mecklenburg County Regional Library), hospitality, sports/entertainment (Carolina Panthers, Kannapolis Cannonballers), mission-critical/data centers, and industrial distribution (American Tire Distributors, Dimensional Fund Advisors). The firm describes itself as Charlotte's largest owners' and contractors' trusted electrical partner, anchored by a 25+ year JLL account relationship.

The company delivers its services across seven interconnected divisions: Electrical Construction (full commercial/industrial installation including design-build, generator/UPS, low-voltage, and security), Electrical Service (24/7 emergency response, preventive maintenance, relamping, tenant upfits), Low-Voltage (Division 27/28 structured cabling, A/V, access control, surveillance under BICSI certifications), Engineering (design/build via wholly-owned WBM Group, PLLC, including BIM/VDC, LEED, renewable energy design, arc flash, power analysis, lighting design, fire alarm, and licensed UAV/drone services), Pre-Construction Services (estimating, value engineering, constructability, scheduling), Special Projects (sub-$1M rapid-turnaround work, EV projects, scanning/coring, fire alarm), and Prefabrication Services (off-site modular assemblies, conduit pre-wiring, panel pre-assembly, multi-wire spooling, structural supports, and job-site delivery). The technical backbone is Autodesk-based BIM/VDC coordination, in-house professional engineering, off-site prefabrication, and integration with Johnson Controls, Siemens, and Panduit for low-voltage and building technologies.

Revenue is generated through three streams: project-based electrical construction contracts with values from $2M to $75M (one-time), recurring annual service and preventive maintenance contracts (subscription), and standalone engineering services through WBM Group, PLLC (professional services). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct relationship-based acquisition targeting Charlotte-area owners, general contractors, and enterprise clients, with no channel partners, resellers, or self-service options. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific rather than publicly listed; emergency service rates are competitive and undisclosed, while discounted service-contract options recur annually. Distribution is exclusively regional (Charlotte Metro and Carolinas), supported by a Special Projects Division dedicated to managing multiple simultaneous ongoing contracts and a 24/7 service department.

Comparable to WB Moore on customer mix (enterprise clients, data centers), in-house engineering, and prefabrication capability.
• Helix Electric: Helix Electric is a privately-held national electrical contractor serving commercial, industrial, and mission-critical markets with strong prefab/modular capabilities. Direct competitor for the same enterprise project types WB Moore pursues, including data centers and large commercial builds.
• Power Design Inc. Power Design is a large national electrical contractor focused on multi-family, commercial, and mission-critical projects, with significant prefabrication operations. Comparable business model with prefab-driven productivity gains and enterprise client base similar to WB Moore's Charlotte customer roster.
