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.
