Do You Need New Circuits or Wiring for Your Business?
You probably do if staff run power boards off power boards, breakers trip when equipment starts, or you're adding machines, kitchen gear or air conditioning.
A new layout or new tenancy usually means power and lighting in different places.
We look at the board and what you plan to run first, then give you one fixed price.

Queensland Rules That Apply to Your Premises
The first two come from the Electrical Safety Regulation 2026, in force since 1 September 2026.
You Run a Business
A business must manage the electrical risks to health and safety at its workplace, in line with the Work Health and Safety Regulation.
Source: Electrical Safety Regulation 2026, s 12
Something Looks Unsafe
A business must disconnect electrical equipment under its control that it has reasonable grounds to believe is unsafe, and keep it off until it's repaired or tested safe, or replaced or removed from use.
Source: Electrical Safety Regulation 2026, s 17
The Building Is Older Than 2004
Switchboard panels and meter boards made or imported before 1 January 2004 may contain asbestos. Work on them needs a risk assessment and asbestos safe work procedures.

What Sets the Price of Commercial Electrical Work
We don't price an installation until we've seen the site. These are the things that move the number.
- Number of circuits. More circuits, more cable, breakers and protection.
- Cable runs. Long runs, high ceilings and concrete take longer.
- Switchboard capacity. No room on the board means an upgrade first.
- Supply. Three-phase or heavy loads may need supply checks.
- Asbestos. A panel made before 2004 may need asbestos precautions.
- Work hours. Work outside trading hours to keep you open.

Installations in Strata and Apartment Buildings
Common-area power, car park circuits and meter board changes usually involve the body corporate and planned shutdowns. We give a fixed price the committee can review and plan the work around residents.
Commercial Electrical Installation FAQ
Questions Gold Coast business owners and property managers ask us about new electrical work.
Do you do electrical work for commercial fit-outs and refurbishments?
Yes. We do power, lighting, dedicated circuits and switchboard work for shop, office and gym fit-outs, refurbishments and changes to existing tenancies. We walk the site with you, check the switchboard and supply, and give you a fixed price before work starts. When the installation work is finished and tested, you get the certificate of testing and compliance for it.
Can you work with our builder, shopfitter and other trades?
Yes. Tell us who else is on site and the key dates, and we'll plan our stages around the wider program, so walls and ceilings don't need to be opened twice. You get a fixed price for the electrical work before we start, and the certificate of testing and compliance for the installation work when it's done.
How much does commercial electrical installation cost on the Gold Coast?
It depends on the job, so we don't price it before a site visit. The main factors are how many circuits you need, how far the cable runs, whether the switchboard has room, whether the supply can carry the extra load, and whether the work happens after hours. We inspect, then give you one fixed price before work starts. No hourly rate, and you pay on completion by EFTPOS.
Do I get a certificate for new electrical work?
Yes. Queensland's electrical safety laws require the licensed electrical contractor to test electrical installation work and give the person it was done for a certificate of testing and compliance. WorkSafe Queensland says this should be done as soon as possible after the work is finished. It confirms the work has been tested as electrically safe. Keep it with your lease or building records.
Can you install dedicated circuits for machinery?
Yes. We install dedicated circuits for machinery, commercial kitchen equipment and other heavy loads, including three-phase where the site has it. Before quoting we check what the equipment needs and whether your switchboard and supply can carry it. If the board or supply needs an upgrade first, we tell you at the start so it's in the fixed price, not a surprise halfway through.
Will the work disrupt our business?
We plan it to keep disruption down. Power-offs and noisy work can often be scheduled outside your busy hours, and larger jobs can be staged one area at a time. We agree the timing with you when we quote, including which circuits go off and for roughly how long, so you can warn staff and customers ahead of time.
Why do our breakers trip when equipment starts up?
Common causes are a circuit carrying more load than it was designed for, or a fault in a piece of equipment. Running several heavy appliances or power boards off one circuit is a frequent culprit. Don't keep resetting a breaker that trips straight away. Unplug the equipment and call us. We find the cause and quote a fixed price for a new circuit or repair.
What should we check before signing a commercial lease?
Ask whether the switchboard has room for your equipment, whether there are enough power points where you'll work, and whether the supply suits heavy loads like ovens or machines. Check who is responsible for electrical repairs under the lease. If the building is older, switchboard panels made before 2004 may contain asbestos. We can look over the electrical side before you sign and tell you what work is likely.
