RESOURCES
Two New Research Projects Released!
- Navigating Electrical Service & Maintenance Under NFPA 70B and 70E
ELECTRI International is pleased to share new research, Advancing Electrical Service and Maintenance Practices in Alignment with NFPA 70B/E. This resource offers clear, practical guidance for electrical contractors navigating the evolving maintenance requirements under NFPA 70B/E.
The guide is designed to build familiarity with the standards, explain how they intersect with electrical service operations, and outline what they mean for contractors—from firms just entering service work to those expanding their compliance offerings.
This research includes two components:
- Electrical Service and Maintenance Guide to NFPA 70B/E
- Electrical Service and Maintenance Process Road Map
We encourage you to visit the webpage to access the Process Road Map and related resources.
- Optimizing Fleet Management in Electrical Construction
ELECTRI International is pleased to release Optimizing Fleet Management in Electrical Construction, a new research report designed to help electrical contractors evaluate and improve fleet performance. The study provides industry benchmarks and practical insights related to safety, cost control, technology adoption, and operational efficiency—supporting more informed, data-driven decision-making. The report can be found on our website here.

NECA Education, Powered by ELECTRI, is bringing industry leaders a seven-part virtual series focused on understanding where AI fits in construction and how to manage it responsibly.
