Keeping Commercial Projects on Schedule in Arizona's Construction Boom

Arizona's construction volume rewards teams that control their long-lead items. Switchgear is one of the biggest — here is how to manage it.

In Arizona's busy construction market, schedule control comes from managing long-lead items early. Switchgear lead times of 11 to 20 weeks make it one of the first procurement conversations every project should have.

Long-lead items decide schedules

On a busy Arizona job, the trades are rarely the constraint — equipment is. Switchgear, with typical lead times of 11 to 20 weeks, sits near the top of that list.

Teams that treat equipment procurement as a day-one task protect their energization dates. Teams that wait inherit whatever the supply chain gives them.

Options when the lead time does not fit

When the standard lead time lands after your required date, in-stock equipment is the most direct fix. Available inventory removes the manufacturing wait entirely.
