At Baxter-Kenworthy Electric and Fabrication, we don’t solve growth by simply hiring more people.
The electrical industry is facing a long-term labor shortage. Skilled electricians are retiring faster than they can be replaced, apprenticeship pipelines take years to mature, and project schedules continue to compress.
Waiting for the labor market to improve is not a strategy.
Instead, we’ve built our execution model around intentional prefabrication—shifting repeatable, labor-intensive work from the jobsite into a controlled manufacturing environment.
Fabrication Builds Capacity Without Adding Risk
Hiring adds headcount. Fabrication adds capability.
Reduce Field Hours
Significantly reduce total field labor hours by completing work in controlled conditions.
Lower Skill Dependency
Less reliance on highly specialized on-site skills—installation becomes streamlined.
Improve Safety
Controlled environments mean safer work conditions and more consistent outcomes.
Predictable Results
Deliver predictable installation outcomes with verified, quality-checked assemblies.
Fabrication allows our electricians to focus on installation—not improvisation.
OUR APPROACH
Designed for Fabrication, Not Fabricated as an Afterthought
The difference is intent.
We don’t “see what can be fabricated later.” We plan assemblies and kitting from the start.
Our teams:
Especially Effective For:
Customization is not eliminated—it’s managed.
What This Means for Our Customers
More Schedule Certainty
Front-loaded fabrication reduces jobsite variables and dependency on field labor availability.
More Consistent Quality
Assemblies are built once, checked once, and installed right the first time.
Less Labor Risk
Projects are less exposed to workforce volatility and skill shortages.
Faster Installation
Smaller crews complete work efficiently through streamlined field execution.
The Bottom Line
Fabrication is not an add-on at Baxter-Kenworthy.
It is a core part of how we deliver work reliably in a constrained labor market.
We don’t compete by chasing labor.
We compete by designing smarter, fabricating intentionally, and installing efficiently.
