Services / Commercial & industrial

Commercial and industrial electrical work.

Fit-outs, maintenance and testing for shops, cafés, offices and workshops, and electrical installation and control panel work for plant and equipment. You deal with Tom or Nick directly, and we can work outside trading hours.

Opening a new place? Get us in before the shopfitter finalises the drawings. Moving a power point on paper costs nothing. Moving it after the joinery is in costs a lot.
Industrial and control panels

Plant, pumps and control panels.

Power and control cabling for pumps, motors, instruments and valves, variable speed drives, and control panels with PLC and touchscreen control.

Reverse osmosis plant: electrical installation and control panel

An RO (Reverse Osmosis) plant project completed over this past week, including the electrical installation and control panel works.

The work covered power and control cabling to the high-pressure pumps, the flow and pressure instruments and the actuated valves, and a stainless steel control panel with PLC, touchscreen and variable speed drives for the pumps.

Fit-outs

Commercial fit-outs.

We quote off the shopfitter's drawings or a walk-through, staged as rough-in and fit-off so you can see where the money goes. Variations get priced before we do them.

Café and commercial kitchen fit-out

Complete electrical fit-out for a new café and its commercial kitchen, from the distribution board to the last pendant.

A new distribution board with a main isolator, separate lighting and power circuits, and labelled emergency lighting circuits. In the kitchen: isolating switches for the cooking equipment, power for refrigeration and bench equipment, LED panel lighting, and heat lamps over the pass. Front of house: pendants, downlights and LED strip under the counter, with power for the display fridges and counter equipment.

Typical fit-out scope
Distribution board or sub-board, kitchen and counter power, equipment isolators, lighting, emergency lighting and exit signs, data and point of sale, signage power.
Paperwork
Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work for the installation, plus an emergency lighting log book for your landlord or certifier.
Maintenance and compliance

Testing, maintenance and compliance records

We can set you up on a reminder so these happen when they're due rather than when someone asks for the paperwork.

  • Test and tag of portable appliances and leads
  • Safety switch (RCD) testing, with records
  • Emergency and exit light testing every six months
  • Replacing failed fittings, ballasts and drivers
  • Fault finding on tripping or dead circuits
  • Switchboard tidy-ups and labelling
  • Thermal imaging of switchboards
  • Adding circuits for new equipment
  • Outdoor and car park lighting repairs
  • Pre-lease and make-good electrical work
Emergency lighting. Emergency and exit lights must be tested every six months under AS 2293, with the results recorded in a log book. We run the 90-minute discharge test, replace anything that fails and complete the log book.
Data and comms

Data and communications cabling.

We run and terminate data and phone cabling, fit patch panels and wall outlets, and label both ends. We hold ACMA cabling registration, which is required for any cabling that connects to the telecommunications network. This includes Wi-Fi access point cabling, point of sale and EFTPOS, CCTV, and TV and audio points.

Questions

About commercial work

Can you work outside trading hours?

Yes. For shops and cafés we often start at 5am or work after close. For offices, Saturdays are common. We'll agree the hours when we quote; after-hours rates apply to some but not all of it, and we'll be upfront about which.

Do you do three-phase work?

Yes. Three-phase switchboards and sub-boards, outlets for kitchen equipment and machinery, motor and pump circuits, variable speed drives and control panels.

Can you work with my shopfitter or builder?

Yes, that is the normal arrangement. We work from their drawings and to their program.

Do you provide a certificate for the landlord or council?

You receive a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work for the installation. For emergency lighting we provide a log book and a test report. If your certifier needs something specific, tell us and we'll make sure it's covered.

Planning a fit-out, plant installation or maintenance work?

Send the drawings or a description and we'll come and walk the site. No charge for a quote.
