Building Electrification Roadmaps

We Source NYC is offering local general, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing contractors free, customized business development support which will culminate in a Building Electrification Roadmap. These individualized Roadmaps will help companies grow within NYC’s building electrification sector.

Selected companies will receive one-on-one business consultation, which will include an in-depth review of current capabilities and a tailored report outlining market opportunities and strategic next steps.

The current round of Roadmaps is full, but we plan to launch another round later this year. If you are interested in applying for the next round of Roadmaps, please submit an expression of interest!
