What Danard Electric does

Danard Electric is a fourth-generation, family-owned electrical construction contractor headquartered in Tacoma, Washington, providing design-build, preconstruction, and special-project electrical services across Western Washington. The company serves public and private owners across six primary markets — military/government, industrial, residential (multi-family), education, commercial, and retail — as well as a residential and commercial service-and-maintenance segment covering repairs, EV charging, solar, and lighting retrofits. Its portfolio includes complex, award-winning installations such as the L&I Safety and Health Lab, the Baker Condominiums at Point Ruston (138 units, 330,065 sq ft), the Washington State Fair Gold Gate, and the UWT YMCA Student Center.

The company's technical stack is anchored by in-house Building Information Modeling using Revit and Navisworks, a Trimble 873 Total Station for field coordination, a regional-leading electrical prefabrication shop producing pre-bent conduit and racking assemblies, and custom DMX-controlled RGB lighting systems for signature installations. A wholly-owned subsidiary, E-Squared Systems (launched 2004), extends the offering into low-voltage and technology systems. Danard operates as a private, incorporated entity under continuous Danard-Doyle family ownership, with Steve Doyle as President and CEO since 2018.

Danard generates revenue through project-based electrical construction contracts with public and private owners, general contractors, and facility managers. Pricing is project-specific and quote-based, with a minimum one-year guarantee applied to all work including subcontractor work. Customer acquisition is driven by direct field sales engagement, long-term relationships (e.g., Donkey Creek Holdings for over 20 years), and a reputation reinforced by NECA Project Excellence Awards and consecutive AGC safety and EMR awards. The company sells through direct project delivery and general contractor subcontracting channels exclusively within the Puget Sound region. A material data discrepancy exists between the firmographics-reported employee count (1–10) and the publicly listed management team of approximately 20 office and preconstruction personnel, suggesting the headcount figure excludes field labor.
