Who We Are

AECCI was originally formed in 1962 by Don Lanier as Auburn Electric, Inc. We started out doing primarily residential work. As time went on, we moved from residential work to commercial and industrial work and phased out our residential business. By the mid 1970's, we were dominating this area as the largest open-shop electrical contractor around.

We continued to grow, and by the mid 1980's we were doing app. $15 million volume per year. As the early 1990's came, Don Lanier decided retirement was in his future, so Greg Lanier, his son, started running the company. In 1994, Auburn Electrical Construction Company, Inc. was formed and Auburn Electric, Inc. was shut down. AECCI sponsors & endorses community, civic, and national organizations, enriching our lives and making a difference in the community.

AECCI's corporate officers include Donald G. Lanier as President, Steve Pruitt as Vice President/Secretary and Maryann Pilgreen as Treasurer & Comptroller. Project managers for AECCI include Ted Day, Brent Arnold, Robbie Henderson, and Barry Preattle. Estimating is done by Steve Pruitt with assistance from Steve Livingston. Our warehouse operations are run by Kenny Winslett. Together, this staff has over 100 years experience in the construction industry.

AECCI operates it's own federally-approved in-house apprenticeship program. It is a four year program designed around training our workers to be competent journeyman electricians. It includes both classroom training and on-the-job experience. Upon completion, the students are qualified to take the State journeyman's exam. We also offer continuing education courses to all our employees to keep them abreast of the latest trends and products in the industry.
