New Installations and Fit-Outs
Commercial projects require more than technical electrical work. They require communication, sequencing and coordination with the wider project team.
QEI works with builders, designers, project managers, tenants and other trades to identify requirements, plan the installation and complete the work in line with the construction or fit-out program. Where practical, potential access, staging and operational issues are identified before work begins.
Programmed and Preventive Maintenance
Programmed maintenance can help identify electrical issues before they result in equipment failure, safety concerns or unnecessary disruption to a business.
QEI can work with commercial clients, facilities teams and property managers to develop practical maintenance arrangements based on the site, equipment and operating requirements. Maintenance work may include:
- Electrical inspections
- RCD testing
- Thermal imaging
- Emergency and exit lighting checks
- Switchboard inspections
- Fault identification
- Testing of nominated electrical equipment
- Recommendations for repair or upgrade work
Clear records can be provided to assist with future maintenance planning and site documentation.
Reactive Maintenance and Fault-Finding
Electrical problems can affect staff, tenants, customers and business operations. QEI provides practical fault-finding, repairs and reactive maintenance for commercial properties and managed sites.
We assess the problem, explain the likely cause and recommend the appropriate repair or upgrade. Where a permanent repair cannot be completed immediately, we will explain any temporary measures, further work or equipment requirements.
Emergency and Exit Lighting
Emergency and exit lighting is an important part of maintaining a safe commercial property. QEI can assist with the installation, replacement, testing and maintenance of emergency and exit lighting systems.
Where issues are identified, we can explain the required repairs and provide clear records of the work completed.
RCD Testing
QEI provides RCD testing for commercial properties and operational sites. Testing can be arranged as part of programmed maintenance, a site upgrade, tenancy change or specific testing requirement.
Any faults or failed equipment identified during testing can be documented, with recommended repair or replacement work clearly outlined.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging can help identify unusual heat patterns within switchboards, connections and electrical equipment. It can be useful as part of preventive maintenance, fault investigation or an assessment of electrical equipment under normal operating conditions.
Where an issue is identified, QEI can provide photographs, findings and recommendations for further investigation, repair or replacement.
Generator Connections
QEI can assist with generator connections and electrical arrangements for temporary or permanent backup-power requirements. The appropriate setup will depend on the site, equipment, electrical demand and intended operating arrangement.
Before proceeding, QEI will assess the existing electrical infrastructure and explain the required connection, isolation, changeover and protection arrangements.
Commercial Switchboards and Upgrades
Commercial switchboard work may be required as part of a new installation, tenancy fit-out, equipment upgrade, fault repair or expansion of the site’s electrical requirements.
QEI can assess the existing installation and explain the work required to support the proposed electrical load or project scope. Where shutdowns are required, they will be discussed and coordinated with the nominated site representative.
Working Around Business Operations
Where work is completed in an occupied or operational premises, we consider:
- Customer and staff access
- Required electrical shutdowns
- Work-area separation
- Noise and disruption
- Coordination with site representatives
- Staging around operating hours
- Testing and return-to-service requirements
Known shutdown requirements will be discussed before work is scheduled.
Body Corporate and Managed Properties
QEI supports body corporates and property managers with electrical maintenance and planned upgrades across common areas and shared infrastructure. This may include:
- Lighting and power
- Emergency and exit lighting
- Switchboard work
- RCD testing
- Thermal imaging
- Fault-finding
- Generator connections
- Scheduled electrical improvements
Clear photographs, testing information and job records can be provided where required for property or maintenance files.
