Shamar Hamilton, Chief Executive

Company Name: 20Vision Electric

20 Vision Electric is an ACCA Platinum member led by Chief Executive Shamar Hamilton. We asked him to share some lessons learned from one of his projects:

Peel Living Common Area Lighting and Ceiling Upgrades

20 Vision Electric worked with HKC Construction on the electrical portion of Peel Living’s common-area lighting and ceiling upgrades. The project involved five properties: King Street and Stavebank in Mississauga, Pinnacle View in Alton, Jane Street in Bolton, and Maple Grove in Caledon Village.

Our six-person team consisted of five workers and me. The proposed construction schedule ran from April 6 to August 10, 2026, approximately four months. These were planned dates; they do not represent a verified final completion date.

The lighting plan included LED troffers, wrap fixtures, retrofit and architectural lighting, together with exit signs. A key challenge was coordinating electrical work with ceiling replacement across different buildings and floors. The proposed schedule sequenced electrical disconnects, ceiling demolition, electrical installation and rough-in, and T-bar installation, followed by fire alarm verification. That sequencing shows how closely the electrical and ceiling trades needed to work together.
