Plan before installation
An electrical fit-out shaped around the space and how it will operate
The electrical scope must support the layout, equipment, occupants and future use while fitting the wider construction sequence.
Discuss your projectCoordinate with other trades
Align routes, openings, containment, ceilings and equipment positions before areas are closed.
Plan capacity and distribution
Assess the available supply, new loads, circuits, distribution equipment and future allowances.
Protect the programme
Sequence first fix, second fix, energisation and testing around access and construction milestones.
Prepare for handover
Complete final testing, snag resolution, labelling and applicable electrical documentation.
Early coordination reduces rework. Confirming equipment, layouts, load requirements and ceiling or wall interfaces before first fix helps avoid late changes.

Common questions
Commercial electrical fit-out FAQs
What is included in a commercial electrical fit-out?
The scope can include distribution, circuits, general and dedicated power, lighting, emergency lighting, containment, equipment connections, data infrastructure, specialist-system supplies, testing and handover. The exact inclusions must be agreed for the project.
Can you work from architectural or consultant drawings?
Yes. Send the latest drawings, specifications and schedules. A site survey and clarification of responsibilities may still be needed before quotation.
Can you coordinate with a main contractor and other trades?
Yes. Electrical routes, equipment positions, ceilings, partitions and specialist services should be coordinated through the project team.
Can you fit out an occupied commercial premises?
Potentially. Phasing, access, isolation, noise, dust and operational restrictions must be assessed before agreeing the programme.
Do you complete both first fix and second fix?
Yes, where included in the agreed scope. The work can cover containment and wiring through accessories, fittings, final connections, testing and handover.
Can you deliver the same fit-out across several locations?
Yes, subject to surveys and availability. A repeatable specification can support consistency, but every location must still be checked for site-specific conditions.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Provide the address, drawings, specification, equipment schedules, programme, access details, landlord requirements and a clear list of expected electrical work.
Will we receive certification?
The applicable documentation depends on the work completed. Relevant inspection, testing and completion certification will be provided where required.
