We would highly recommend having electrical plans drawn up before construction/ building work starts. Fixtures and wiring in the wrong place can cost significant sums to rectify, as well as delays to your timeline. With some suppliers, electrical planning services are deductible against the cost of your lighting purchases, leaving you with no additional cost but peace of mind and potential savings.

Absolutely! If you like your existing fixtures you can continue to use the same fixtures. Depending on the scale of your work, your builder may recommend taking them down until the work is complete. This will give you time to give them a clean and spruce up should you need it.

You can also replace existing fixtures with like for like upgrades, taking advantage of the latest technology as you do. For example, today we see a lot of old style oyster lights being replaced by stylish slimline LED versions.

While it depends on the size of the property and scale of the renovations, one sure thing is that an electrical plan for a renovation can be completed much more quickly than for a new build. Plan for 2 weeks for your electrical plans, depending on the information available and complexity. It could take just a day or two but it's better to factor in more time to be safe.

No, we do not, however we work with many electricians across Australia and can often recommend someone in your area.
