The Midwest execution bench, organized for sprint builds

SBRP runs with multiple execution partners across the Midwest's mechanical and electrical contractor base, with depth in Michigan, Northern Illinois, and PJM Ohio. Each project is staffed to its scope, schedule, and counterparty. The bench depth to commit a sprint-build calendar is in writing. Hundreds of trades on call. Multiple paths to mobilization.

01 / Your Midwest Execution Partner

SBRP carries the contractor bench

Active relationships with IBEW and UA signatory contractors across Michigan (Local 58, Local 636/98), Northern Illinois (Local 134, Local 597), and PJM Ohio (Locals 38, 683, 212, 120, 189, 50).
Pre-qualified bench across electrical, mechanical, low-voltage, controls, and specialty industrial scopes.
Sprint-build delivery: execution partner matched to scope and schedule, with bench depth behind the calendar.
Direct working channels with DTE Energy, Consumers Energy, and ITC Michigan, with ComEd across Northern Illinois, and with AEP Ohio, FirstEnergy, AES Ohio, and Duke Energy Ohio across PJM Ohio, for substation, service, and interconnection coordination.
One accountable team across site, utility, capital, and construction.

Built for the calendar.

Owners and operators need a calendar they can defend. SBRP carries the contractor relationships so each project gets the right team for its scope: design-build, hard bid, EPC, or owner-direct, with a sprint-build commitment behind it.

Multiple execution partners. One sprint-build calendar.

02 / The Bench

Electrical and mechanical bandwidth across the Midwest

SBRP works alongside the contractors Midwest owners and operators already know. Below is an overview of the contractor categories we draw from to staff sprint-build outcomes. The specific firm engaged on a given project is selected with the project counterparties at award.

Southeast Michigan

Utilities: DTE Energy, Consumers Energy, ITC Michigan.
Electrical: IBEW Local 58 signatory contractors.
Mechanical: UA Local 636 (pipe trades) and Local 98 (sheet metal).

Northern Illinois (ComEd)

Utilities: ComEd distribution and subtransmission.
Electrical: IBEW Local 134 signatory contractors.
Mechanical: UA Local 597 (pipe trades) signatory firms.

PJM Ohio

Utilities: AEP Ohio, FirstEnergy Ohio, AES Ohio, Duke Energy Ohio.
Electrical: IBEW Local 38 (Cleveland), Local 683 (Columbus), and Local 212 (Cincinnati) signatory contractors.
Mechanical: UA Pipefitters Local 120 (Cleveland), Local 189 (Columbus), and Local 50 (Toledo) signatory firms.

Electrical Contractors

IBEW Local 58 (Michigan), Local 134 (Northern Illinois), and Local 38, Local 683, and Local 212 (PJM Ohio) signatory firms covering low-voltage, distribution, substation, and critical-power scopes.
ESOP-owned and family-held electrical contractors with Midwest roots and ENR Midwest top-tier ranking.
Specialty subsidiaries for utility, motor service, fire and life safety, and industrial controls.
Direct DTE Energy, ITC Michigan, and ComEd working relationships across substation interconnection and service upgrades.

Selected at award based on scope, schedule, and counterparty preference.

Mechanical Contractors

UA Local 636/98 (Michigan), Local 597 (Northern Illinois), and Local 120, Local 189, and Local 50 (PJM Ohio) signatory firms covering pipe trades and sheet metal.
Design-build and EPC mechanical contractors with data hall, industrial, and institutional track records.
Process piping, plumbing, HVAC, controls, and high-purity specialty scopes.
Midwest-based firms with active Consumers Energy, Enbridge, and ComEd gas- and electric-service coordination experience.

Matched to chiller, AHU, and process loads at the design phase.

03 / Why This Model Delivers

Bandwidth, not lock-in, is what makes the calendar

For brownfield redevelopment, data deployments, and substation interconnects, engineering is rarely the long pole. The long pole is mobilization: standing up labor, gear, and utility coordination on the calendar the project needs. Bench depth is bandwidth: multiple execution partners, multiple paths to the gameday calendar.

Multiple Pre-qualified electrical and mechanical contractors per scope

Days Mobilization windows under signatory IBEW and UA labor

Self-perform Across low-voltage, utility, motor service, and specialty scopes

Owner-direct Substation and service coordination with DTE, Consumers, ITC, and ComEd

SBRP carries this bench into every pursuit so we can commit:

Sprint-build calendars committed at award, with the execution partner matched to scope.
Substations energized faster, on the strength of utility relationships SBRP holds directly.
Hundreds of IBEW and UA trades staffed in days, not months, under signatory labor.
Self-perform across low-voltage, utility, motor service, and specialty scopes through the bench, no waiting on subs of subs.
Execution-partner selection that respects the existing relationships at the table.

It lets us commit, in writing, to a path to construction, built around the right team for the project.

The trades who built the venues, plants, and data halls the Midwest knows by name are on this bench. SBRP is the integrator that holds the calendar across all of them.

04 / Roles

What SBRP brings, what the contractor brings

SBRP

Site sourcing and control across the Steel Belt.
Brownfield diligence and remediation strategy.
Interconnection and capacity modeling.
Energy procurement through SBRP and Procurement Partners.
Capital structure and tax-credit underwriting.
Development representation across the project stack.
Execution-partner orchestration, scope packaging, and schedule guarantee.

SBRP does not own GPUs, run workloads, or operate compute.

Execution Partner

Union signatory execution when required, under IBEW Local 58 / UA 636-98 (Michigan), IBEW Local 134 / UA 597 (Northern Illinois), and IBEW Local 38, 683, 212 / UA Local 120, 189, 50 (PJM Ohio).
Design-build, hard bid, or EPC delivery as the project requires.
Self-perform across electrical, mechanical, controls, and specialty scopes.
Direct working relationships with DTE Energy, Consumers Energy, ITC Michigan, and ComEd.
Critical-power and process-mechanical experience.
Capacity to staff projects with hundreds of trades on a single deployment.

Selected at award. Matched to scope. Backed by the bench.

SBRP works on either side of the table. Some projects we run as the development lead with capital and operator partners behind us; on others we plug in at the request of an owner, operator, or capital partner who needs the Midwest bench and the sprint-build calendar.
