Renovation is harder on material planning than new construction. Existing buildings hide conditions, so the wire ordered for a floor rarely matches what the floor actually needed. The difference ends up on a shelf in the basement.
Winston-Salem's hospital and university construction programs run continuously, and the Innovation Quarter conversions keep contractors working in buildings that were wired for manufacturing decades ago.
Where the wire comes from in Winston-Salem
Hospital and medical campus work
Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist projects generate HCF MC, fire alarm cable and feeder reels, often with tags still attached.
University renovation
Wake Forest University work produces commercial branch wiring and control cable in identifiable partial quantities.
Tobacco-district conversions
Old manufacturing buildings being converted to lab and office space require full re-wiring, and the demolition phase yields recoverable cable.

Selling surplus wire in Winston-Salem
Send the wire type, gauge, approximate footage and where it is stored. Photos of the reel tag and the jacket legend shorten the process more than anything else you can put in the form.
If you are not sure what you have, call +1 (614) 715-3047 and read the print legend off the jacket. That is usually enough to identify it.
One reel or a full storage room
Both are normal. A single reel of large copper or medium voltage is worth a look on its own; small partials are worth moving when they travel together.
What to include on the form
- Wire type and voltage class
- Copper or aluminum, and the gauge or MCM
- Approximate footage left, or full versus partial reel
- Reel, spool, coil or carton count
- Condition and whether the tag is still on the reel
- The Winston-Salem address or ZIP where it is stored
- Loading: dock, forklift, or ground level
