About the practice

Three generations
on Vancouver Island.

Wenner Group is a family-owned electrical and technology integration practice on Vancouver Island, founded in 1945 and now in its third generation. We design, coordinate, and integrate the systems inside the Island's most considered homes — and we do it under one roof.

The story

From electrical contractor
to technology architect.

Wenner started in 1945 as an electrical contractor on Vancouver Island. Three generations later, the company you see today is built on the same foundation — careful electrical design and coordination, careful drawings, and being on site when the trades need us — and extended to encompass every technical system the modern luxury home depends on.

We don't think of ourselves as integrators. We think of ourselves as a single design and coordination team that holds ten disciplines — electrical, lighting, A/V, automation, networking, security, shading, climate integration, generators & energy, and golf simulators — under one roof. The reason it matters: when one team is responsible for everything that ends in a wire, the seams between trades stop costing the project time and money.

We work behind the design team — the architect, the interior designer, the builder, the GC. The relationship between Wenner and those firms is the practice. We've spent eighty years learning where technology fits in that conversation, and how to keep it from getting in the way.
