Gold Coast – fixed price – 24/7
Common property electrical is rarely one big job. It's a corridor light, a failed exit fitting, a garage circuit and an intercom fault, each one small enough to be annoying and big enough to need a quote. We handle all of it for committees and strata managers, with 24/7 call-outs when something can't wait.
Sparks, smoke or water in a common area board?Keep residents clear, call 000 if there's fire or someone has had a shock, then call us 24/7.
Call 0421 333 034A strata electrician looks after common property electrical, like shared lights, switchboards and exit signs, and quotes a price the committee can approve.
Who pays depends on whether the fault is on common property or in a lot, so that's worth settling before a job is billed.
Our quotes are a fixed price, given before any work starts, for your strata manager or committee.

Water leaking from a lightDrawn from Queensland Government body corporate guidance and Queensland Fire Department advisory notes.
A body corporate must maintain common property in good and structurally sound condition. Lot owners must maintain their own lot.
In building format plans, wiring on common property or serving more than one lot is generally the body corporate's. Wiring in a lot that serves only that lot is generally the owner's.
Bodies corporate are generally occupiers under the Fire Services Act 1990 for fire safety purposes. That means maintaining fire safety equipment such as exit lights.
Spending over the major spending limit needs at least two quotes. One may be enough only where two can't be obtained.
Owners set the committee's limit by ordinary resolution. The committee can only go over it in set circumstances, such as a general meeting approving it.

The occupier keeps a record of fire safety maintenance, signed by the person who did it. Fire safety records are kept for at least two years.

Questions Gold Coast strata managers and body corporate committees ask us.
We inspect the site first, then give a fixed price before any work starts, so the committee knows the figure it is approving. There's no hourly billing. Queensland Government guidance says spending above the major spending limit needs at least two quotes, included with the notice of the general meeting, so ask for ours early if a motion is coming up.
Generally, the body corporate pays for common property and the lot owner pays for their lot. Queensland Government guidance says wiring on common property, or serving more than one lot, is usually the body corporate's, and wiring in a lot that serves only that lot is usually the owner's. Your plan type can change this, so check where the fault sits before a job is billed.
Yes. We can invoice whoever the committee or building manager nominates, such as the body corporate or the strata management firm. Send any approval or work order number with the booking so it can go on the invoice. If part of a job turns out to be a lot owner's responsibility, that part can be quoted and billed to the owner separately.
Yes. Strata and building managers are often the ones who call us. The process is the same each time: a site visit, a fixed price before work starts, work booked around residents, then the invoice to whoever coordinates the building. If your committee prefers to deal with us directly, that works too, as long as we know who approves the spending.
Yes, for the building's common areas. Queensland Government guidance says bodies corporate are generally occupiers under the Fire Services Act 1990 and must maintain fire safety equipment such as exit lights. The Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008 requires the occupier to have that maintenance done by an appropriately qualified person and to keep a record of it. We test, repair and record emergency and exit lighting for Gold Coast buildings.
Yes. We start by looking at the existing records to see what has been tested and when, so the schedule can carry on without a gap. If the records are incomplete, we tell you which items need retesting and quote that separately. Queensland Fire Department guidance says fire safety records must be kept for at least two years, so ask your previous contractor for copies.
Yes, we take emergency calls 24/7. Faults that affect safety or security, such as a dark stairwell, a failed exit light or a car park in darkness, can be treated as urgent. If something can safely wait for normal hours, we'll tell you so the committee can decide. If there's fire, smoke or someone has had a shock, call 000 first.
Yes, for fire safety work such as emergency and exit lighting. The Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008 requires the occupier to keep a record of maintenance, including a statement signed by the person who did the work, and we sign the record for the maintenance we carry out. Fire safety records must be kept for at least two years, so keep copies on your building's file.
