Electrical Fit-Outs Delivered On Programme

Retail, hospitality and medical tenancies across Melbourne. We work to the builder's programme and the landlord's access rules, and hand over with the certification your occupancy depends on.

We deliver the full electrical scope on retail, hospitality and medical fit-outs across Melbourne - supply and distribution, lighting, emergency and exit systems, mechanical services connections, and the compliance certification that lets you open. Most tenancy fit-outs run two to six weeks on site depending on scope and landlord access. Every job is quoted fixed-price against drawings before we start.

Commercial Fit-Outs Features

Supply & Distribution

Main switchboard and distribution board works, sub-mains, three-phase supply, and metering coordination with the landlord and distributor.

Lighting & Controls

Feature, ambient and task lighting to the designer's spec, with dimming, zoning and occupancy control. Energy-efficient throughout.

Emergency & Exit

Emergency and exit lighting designed, installed and commissioned to AS 2293.1, with the six-monthly testing regime set up from handover.

Mechanical & Plant

Connections for HVAC, extraction, refrigeration and commercial kitchen plant, including isolators, interlocks and controls.

Compliance Certification

Certificate of Electrical Safety lodged with Energy Safe Victoria, plus as-built documentation and testing records for your handover pack.

Out-of-Hours Works

Night and weekend works in trading centres and occupied buildings, so live tenancies and neighbouring businesses keep operating.

Fit-Outs We Specialise In

Three sectors we know properly. Each has its own compliance obligations and its own cost of downtime.

Hospitality

Commercial kitchen power and isolation, extraction and refrigeration connections, ambient and feature lighting, outdoor dining electrics, and signage circuits. Usually against a hard opening date.

Retail

Display and feature lighting, point-of-sale power, signage, security and data-room power. Shopping centre works delivered out of hours to centre access rules.

Medical & Dental

Clean, continuous supply for imaging, sterilisation and chair equipment, UPS and emergency systems, and body-protected area requirements under AS/NZS 3003 where treatment areas demand it.

What Makes a Fit-Out Go Wrong

Almost always one of these four, and all four are avoidable if they're checked before anyone is on site.

Supply Discovered Late

Finding out at rough-in that the tenancy can't carry the kitchen or the plant. A distributor supply upgrade carries weeks of lead time - we check available capacity against the load schedule during the quote.

Landlord Access Rules

Centre and building managers restrict when work can happen, when noise is allowed and when the switchboard can be isolated. We build those constraints into the programme rather than discovering them.

Certification Gaps

Occupancy can stall on missing emergency lighting commissioning or an unlodged Certificate of Electrical Safety. The documentation is part of the job, not an afterthought.

Scope Drift

Variations that appear as invoices rather than conversations. Provisional sums are called out in our quotes and anything outside scope is priced and agreed before it's done.

How It Works

01

Drawings & Scope

We review the architectural and services drawings, identify what the existing supply will and won't carry, and flag long-lead items early.

02

Fixed-Price Quote

A priced scope against the drawings, with provisional sums called out separately so there are no surprises mid-programme.

03

On-Site Delivery

Rough-in, fit-off and commissioning to the builder's programme, with SWMS lodged and our team inducted to site before we start.

04

Certification & Handover

Testing, Certificate of Electrical Safety, as-built drawings and O&M documentation, plus a walkthrough of the emergency lighting test regime.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an electrical fit-out take?
Most retail and hospitality tenancy fit-outs run two to six weeks on site, depending on scope, the state of the existing supply and landlord access. Medical fit-outs usually sit at the longer end because of the additional compliance and testing requirements. We give you a programme with the quote, not after it.
Do you work to a builder's programme or direct for the tenant?
Both. On larger fit-outs we work as the electrical subcontractor under the builder or project manager. On smaller tenancies we're often engaged directly by the business owner, in which case we coordinate with the shopfitter and the landlord ourselves.
Can you work outside trading hours?
Yes. Works in shopping centres and occupied buildings are routinely done at night or over weekends, and most centres require it. After-hours rates apply and are shown separately in the quote so you can see exactly what the access restriction costs.
What happens if the existing supply isn't adequate?
We identify that during the drawings review rather than mid-build. Depending on the shortfall the answer is a distribution board upgrade, new sub-mains, or an application to the distributor for a supply upgrade - the last of which has a lead time, which is exactly why we check it first.
What documentation do we get at handover?
A Certificate of Electrical Safety lodged with Energy Safe Victoria, as-built drawings, switchboard schedules, testing and commissioning records, and emergency lighting documentation with the six-monthly test regime explained. That pack is what your building surveyor and insurer will ask for.
