Services

Electrical
We design and install primary electrical delivery and distribution systems—both overhead and underground power services. BEI also installs temporary, emergency, and backup generators for all electrical loads and site requirements.
Construction
Broadway Electric is much more than an Electrical contractor; performing as a General Contractor on many successful projects we apply the knowledge and expertise required to manage up to 30 various trades at one time. In addition, BEI has the benefit of access to the full complement of services offered through its affiliate, Cornerstone Contracting, Inc.
Communications
BEI constantly updates our training, technology, and equipment to ensure every client is provided with state-of-the-art solutions to their communications demands.
Engineering
Broadway Electric, through its years of experience in electrical and general construction, has built a top-notch Engineering team. This gives BEI better leverage to keep projects within schedule and budget, even providing Design/Build and turnkey services under one roof.

Who we are

Broadway Electric, Inc. (“BEI”) was founded in 1984 on Chicago’s north side, with the mission to provide a full range of industry-leading electrical solutions and innovations, executed in a thorough, professional manner by industry-leading experts. The company moved its corporate office to Elk Grove Village, Illinois in 2004.

In 2018 BEI, Inc. became an employee-owned company. That same year, BEI’s employees acquired 100% ownership. BEI’s goal is to give employees who participate in the Plan an opportunity to share in the growth and prosperity of the Company, accumulate capital for their future economic security, and acquire beneficial stock ownership interests.
