What we do on commercial sites
Most of our week is commercial and industrial work. That's not a claim about size, it's a description of the jobs: tenancy fit-outs where the electrical scope runs from the main switchboard to the last GPO in the joinery, lighting upgrades across whole floors, distribution board additions when a business outgrows its supply, and the maintenance contracts that keep all of it compliant afterwards.
- Tenancy and office fit-outs. Power and data to workstations, meeting rooms and kitchens, lighting to the layout, exit and emergency lighting, and a switchboard that has room for what comes next.
- Retail and hospitality. Display and feature lighting, 3-phase for kitchens and cool rooms, and the after-hours access windows retail landlords insist on.
- Distribution boards and switchboards. New boards, upgrades, subcircuit additions, RCD protection across the board, and load calculations before anything is added.
- Lighting. LED upgrades, high-bay, external and car park lighting, emergency and exit lighting to AS 2293.
- Data and communications. Structured cabling, comms racks and the pathways between them, done at the same time as the power so nothing gets opened twice.
- Testing, commissioning and certification. Every circuit tested, every result recorded, and the certificate of compliance issued before handover.
Why commercial contractors and facility managers use us
A commercial job fails on coordination more often than on electrical skill. The sparky who is excellent in a house can still hold up a fit-out because there's 1 of them, they start at 8, and they haven't run a programme against 6 other trades. Our answer to that is structural: a team of 12, a 6am start, a single point of contact in the office, and a habit of telling you what we found before we tell you what it costs.
Our customers describe it the same way we do. 1 of them, who has used us for domestic and commercial work for years, put it as "professionalism, advice, workmanship and pricing second to none". That's the standard we're held to, and you can read every review on our Google profile.
Sectors we work in most
Commercial covers a lot. The sectors we're set up for are modular building manufacturers, health and medical practices including body-protected areas, schools, commercial builders and contractors who need an electrical subcontractor with project capability, and manufacturing and warehousing. Each has its own page because each has its own rules.
How a commercial job runs with us
- Site visit and scope. We walk the site, check the existing supply and board capacity, and confirm what the drawings assume against what's actually in the ceiling.
- Written quote. Scope, exclusions, staging and price in writing. If the board can't take the extra load, the quote says so up front, not at variation time.
- Programme. We slot into the builder's programme, or set one with you if we're the lead trade.
- Rough-in, fit-off, test, commission. With results recorded circuit by circuit.
- Certificate of compliance and handover. Plus the as-built information your facilities team will want in 2 years when someone asks which breaker feeds the server room.
