Fitting out a commercial space electrically involves different priorities to a home installation – load capacity, compliance, and minimising disruption to a business that needs to open on schedule all matter more.
Office fit-outs
Modern offices draw significantly more power than older buildings were designed for – workstations, servers, air conditioning and kitchen facilities all add up, which is why an early load assessment against the existing supply matters before fit-out work starts, not after.
Retail fit-outs
Retail spaces typically need a mix of general power, dedicated circuits for POS and refrigeration where relevant, and display or feature lighting – all of which needs planning around the shop’s actual layout, not retrofitted after shelving goes in.
Restaurant and commercial kitchen wiring
Commercial kitchens draw heavy loads from ovens, extraction, refrigeration and prep equipment simultaneously, and often need three-phase power – a load calculation before you commit to equipment purchases avoids expensive surprises later.
Working around opening deadlines
We plan commercial fit-out electrical work around your opening date from the outset, sequencing work to avoid becoming the bottleneck on other trades or your launch timeline.
Frequently asked questions
How early should electrical planning start in a fit-out?
As early as possible – ideally alongside the initial layout design, since electrical infrastructure is expensive and disruptive to change once other work is underway.
Do commercial fit-outs need a Certificate of Compliance?
Yes, all new commercial electrical work is certified on completion.
