100+ YEARS of doing
what’s right
Since 1925, we’ve built more than electrical systems — we’ve built relationships.
From our earliest days in Chattanooga to projects spanning 17 states, Lawson Electric has grown through trust, craftsmanship, and an unwavering commitment to doing what’s right for our customers, our employees, and our community — a dedication recognized by the Better Business Bureau’s Torch Award for Ethics, the organization’s most prestigious honor for integrity in business.
POWERING EVERY INDUSTRY WE TOUCH

SERVING the Southeast & Beyond
From our headquarters in Chattanooga, Lawson Electric serves clients across the Southeast and beyond — licensed in 17 states and growing.
No matter the location, the standards never change: safety, skill, and service first.
The Lawson Prefab Advantage
Our 60,000-square-foot Prefabrication Center allows our electricians and engineers to build complex assemblies in-house — using advanced BIM (Building Information Modeling) and 3D scanning technology to plan every detail before construction begins.
By creating a digital 3D version of each project, we can visualize how every component fits together, catch potential issues early, and keep teams aligned from start to finish.
The result: faster installs, safer workflows, and unmatched precision for industrial and commercial clients across the Southeast and beyond.
