Our process

1

Initial consultation

We meet with you, your architect, and/or builder to understand your project goals, lifestyle needs, and specific requirements for your new home's electrical systems.

2

Electrical system design

Our team creates detailed electrical plans, including power point locations, lighting layouts, circuit allocation, and infrastructure for specialised systems like home automation or entertainment.

3

Coordination with building team

We work closely with your construction team to schedule our work appropriately, resolve any potential conflicts with other building systems, and ensure seamless integration.

4

Rough-in installation

During the pre-wire phase, we install all necessary wiring, mounting boxes, conduits, and rough-in preparation before walls are closed up.

5

Final installation

Once interior finishing is complete, we install all switches, outlets, fixtures, and electrical equipment according to the approved design specifications.

6

Testing and certification

We thoroughly test all electrical systems for safety and functionality, then provide proper certification and documentation that your installation meets all applicable codes and standards.

Our approach

Materials we use

  • High-quality electrical cables and conduits
  • Premium-grade switchboards and circuit protection
  • Energy-efficient lighting fixtures and controls
  • Australian-standard compliant switches and outlets
  • Commercial-grade mounting hardware and fixings

Project timeline

New build electrical installations typically progress with the construction schedule, with rough-in taking 1-2 weeks and final installation requiring 1-3 weeks depending on the size and complexity of the home.

Warranty information

7-year warranty on all workmanship, with manufacturer warranties on products ranging from 1-10 years depending on the item. All warranty details are provided in your completion documentation.

After-service support

Comprehensive handover with documentation and system explanation, followed by a 3-month adjustment period. Ongoing support and maintenance available to all clients with priority scheduling for new build customers.

Frequently asked questions

At what stage of the building process should electricians be involved?

Ideally, we should be involved from the planning stage. Early consultation allows us to work with your architect and builder to design an optimal electrical system that accommodates your specific needs and prevents costly changes later. However, we typically begin physical work during the pre-wire stage after framing is complete but before walls are closed up.

How do you ensure my new home is energy efficient?

We implement several strategies including strategic circuit planning, energy-efficient lighting design, and smart load distribution. We can also install systems for monitoring energy usage and incorporate renewable energy solutions like solar panel pre-wiring. Our focus is on creating systems that minimise consumption while maximizing functionality.

Can you future-proof my home's electrical system?

Absolutely. We design electrical systems with expansion in mind, installing extra capacity in switchboards, running additional conduits for future wiring needs, and creating dedicated circuits for emerging technologies. We also recommend structured cabling solutions that support high-speed data transmission for current and future networking needs.

What certifications do I receive upon completion?

Upon completion, we provide all necessary compliance certificates including the Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) required by law in NSW. These certificates confirm that all electrical work meets Australian Standards and local regulations. We also provide detailed documentation of your electrical system for future reference.

How do you coordinate with other contractors during the build?

We have extensive experience working as part of larger construction teams. We coordinate closely with builders, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and other contractors to sequence our work appropriately, resolve potential conflicts before they arise, and ensure all systems integrate properly. Our project managers maintain clear communication throughout the process.
