The Challenge

Switchboard replacements in strata environments are among the most complex and high-risk electrical projects we undertake. These jobs affect every resident in a building, often requiring power shutdowns across entire floors or whole buildings, and must be executed with precision, safety, and speed.

Our projects in this space range from planned 20-unit apartment replacements requiring coordinated day and night shifts to restore mains power within tight timeframes, through to urgent emergency responses, such as storm damage where fallen trees have impacted live switchboards. In some cases, works have also required the safe removal and handling of asbestos.

Coordination with Western Power for approvals, planned shutdowns, and reconnections is a critical part of these projects. Delays in this process can leave residents without power, so our extensive experience managing these relationships is a genuine advantage for our clients.

How We Approach It

We bring the manpower, experience, and planning capability required to complete strata switchboard replacements safely, efficiently, and with the least possible disruption to residents.

Pre-job planning and Western Power liaison to secure approvals and scheduled shutdowns well in advance
Day and night shift rostering where required to restore power within tight timeframes
Temporary generator power provided to maintain supply during extended works
Asbestos-safe removal and handling procedures where older boards require it
Clear, proactive communication with strata managers and residents throughout

We carry the full capability to self-deliver these projects, with no subcontracting of critical components, which means accountability stays with us from start to finish.

The Results

Across our strata switchboard portfolio, buildings have been returned to full power within agreed timeframes, residents have been kept informed and minimally disrupted, and strata managers have been freed from the stress of coordinating a complex, high-risk works programme.

Our track record in this space has made us the go-to contractor for strata managers across Perth who need a team they can rely on when the stakes are high.

“The work you have done on our properties and the amount of time and stress you have saved is very much noted. We are very happy to have you onboard as our main electrical contractor.”
