Electrical Engineering

Electrical Building Services

Designed with installation in mind. We engineer practical layouts and coordinate early to support the construction phase.

Designed for contractors, not just consultants.

A design is only as good as its execution. Our team doesn't just produce theoretical layouts; we deliver coordinated, buildable documentation that contractors rely on. By integrating clash detection and spatial coordination early, we minimize on-site variations and RFIs.

  • Safety in Design and project-specific requirements
  • Early integration with mechanical & hydraulic services
  • Agreed construction and handover support processes

Lighting & Power

Architectural lighting, general power, and smart controls designed for the end user.

Life Safety & Security

Compliant fire detection, emergency lighting, access control, and CCTV infrastructure.

Comms & NBN

Complete communication pathways, structured cabling, and NBN pathway coordination.

Energy & EV

Section J compliance reporting, energy management, and electric vehicle infrastructure planning.

Agreed Process

Construction to Handover

We maintain active project context from early coordination right through to energisation and defect periods.

1. Coordinated Design

Depending on the project, we can provide layout modelling and identify spatial clashes across services to support the contractor before breaking ground.

2. Construction Support

Construction support is tailored to the agreed scope. This can include RFI responses, reviewing contractor variations, and project-specific site attendances.

3. Handover & Commissioning

We offer handover support including the review of test documentation and defect inspections, agreed on a per-project basis.

Clear Expectations

Scope & Deliverables

We believe in absolute clarity regarding what is included. Our typical building services engagement is tailored to the project's exact needs.

Potential Scope Items

  • Maximum Demand calculations & consumer main sizing
  • Main switchboard (MSB) & distribution board design
  • Section J energy efficiency compliance reporting
  • AS/NZS 3000 & 3008 electrical services reticulation
  • Dry fire and smoke detection systems
  • Security, access control, and CCTV infrastructure
  • Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure planning
  • Construction-phase RFI management and inspections

Potential Deliverables

  • 3D BIM Models: Coordinated Revit (.rvt) and Navisworks (.nwc) files.
  • 2D Documentation: Scaled AutoCAD (.dwg) and PDF layout plans.
  • Schematics: Single line diagrams and protection studies.
  • Schedules: Cable, luminaire, and distribution board schedules.
  • Specifications: Detailed technical performance specifications.
  • Project requirements: Discuss any required design declarations and certification responsibilities when agreeing the scope.
