Overview

Save Time, Money, and Manpower

At Motor City Electric Co., we’ve been leading the way in electrical prefabrication for more than 40 years. What began as an investment in efficiency has grown into one of the most advanced prefab operations in the industry, backed by multimillion-dollar investments in equipment, technology, and purpose-built facilities.

Our network includes 32,000 sq. ft. metal fabrication center, 61,000 sq. ft. prefab,10,000 sq. ft. panel fabrication shop, 50,000 sq. ft. indoor storge, MMES Lansing 80,000 sq. ft. prefabrication facility with 400,000 sq. ft. outdoor storage. Each site is designed to keep projects moving faster, safer, and more efficiently. We have equipped our teams with state-of-the-art Crippa tube benders, Scotchman marking system, Smart DX benders, precision water jet systems, new welding stations, custom trailers, and a modern fleet of trucks to support seamless delivery and installation.

Every assembly we build is planned with precision, labeled by job and location, and either shipped directly to site or stored in our climate-controlled warehouse, ready when the schedule demands it. On-site, our crews install prefabricated systems directly per the BIM model, dramatically reducing rework, delays, and cost overruns.

What truly sets MCE apart is how early we get involved. Our in-house VDC (Virtual Design & Construction) and ACP (Advanced Construction Planning) teams’ partner with project engineers and design teams from day one to identify opportunities for value engineering and constructible prefab solutions before construction begins. This proactive approach eliminates bottleneck coordination, saves material and labor, and improves both safety and schedule certainty.

From early design through final installation, we don’t just build; we build smarter. When you work with Motor City Electric Co., you get a team that is invested in your success from the first drawing to the last connection.

Prefabrication Benefits

Helping You Stay Ahead of Schedule

Financial Savings

Combining VDC, ACP (Advance Construction Planner), and VMI, our prefab teams build assemblies off-site in climate-controlled environments. This coordination reduces on-site labor, minimizes delays, and drives real project savings.

Waste Reduction

Digital planning and prefabrication cut material waste, reduce cleanup, and keep projects running cleaner and more efficiently. 

Less Jobsite Traffic

Prefabricated systems and just-in-time (JIT) deliveries reduce congestion, limit equipment and gang boxes, improve safety, and minimize our footprint both in the workspace and in the surrounding communities. 

Safer Execution

Controlled prefabrication environments reduce worker fatigue and injury risk, ensuring safer, more consistent installations.

Faster Schedules

VDC, ACP, with Prefabrication streamline planning and production, allowing faster installation on-site and helping projects stay ahead of schedule.

Heavy Metal Fabrication

From utility structural steel and modular builds to custom UL- listed J-boxes, underground duct banks, relay/SCADA cabinets, and tailored solutions for any need - We fabricate it all!

Lighting Assemblies

Interior and exterior fabricated and testing solutions, light poles placed on custom install trailers. Interior lighting placed on bread carts for safe, efficient transport and easy on-site installation, saves time and space.

Underground Assembly Cages

Prefabricated cages ready for instant installation and concrete pours, saving time, safer installation, reducing errors, and keeping underground projects on schedule.

Overhead Assemblies

Prefabricated overhead systems designed for fast, safe, and precise installation. Built off-site to reduce jobsite construction, improve safety, and keep projects on schedule.

Crippa Bending

90% faster and more accurate than on-site bending, saving space and time. Capable of custom sweeps for rigid, stainless, EMT, and Rob Roy. Bending in seconds instead of minutes.

Advanced Marking System

We provide precise labeling for conduit and strut, including assembly numbers and IDs, to streamline installation, reduce errors, and keep projects on schedule.
