Electrical Design Assist

Specialized design assist for robust electrical infrastructure — a reliable foundation for complex, modern Oceania facilities.

Focused by Design

Electrical specialists for the AS/NZS region

We engineer power systems that support everything from commercial high-rises to localized utility standards. Electrical engineering is our only discipline in the AS/NZS region — and our methodology is inherently collaborative. We work closely with local architectural teams and the project's other consultants so our power distribution integrates perfectly with the wider building design.

This collaborative model ensures local contractors receive clash-free, highly coordinated electrical systems that are ready for immediate deployment.

Core Discipline

Electrical infrastructure you can rely on

Core strength

Power Distribution

Reliable electrical frameworks engineered for commercial high-rises and localized utility standards — switchboards, submains and maximum demand to AS/NZS 3000.

Lighting & Solar

Interior lighting to AS/NZS 1680 and NCC Section J6, plus solar PV to AS/NZS 5033 and grid-connected inverters to AS/NZS 4777.

Deployment-Ready

Highly coordinated electrical documentation ready for immediate use by local contractors.

FAQ

Electrical design assist (AS/NZS) — common questions

What does electrical design assist include?

We engineer robust power distribution and electrical infrastructure for commercial high-rises through to localized utility standards — switchboard design, submain and final subcircuit cabling, maximum demand, lighting and solar — then coordinate closely with local architectural teams and the project's other consultants so the electrical package is clash-free and deployment-ready.

Which standards do you design to in Australia and New Zealand?

We work to AS/NZS electrical standards — including AS/NZS 3000:2018 Wiring Rules, AS/NZS 1680 (Interior Lighting), AS/NZS 2293 (Emergency Lighting) and AS/NZS 5033/4777/5139 for solar and battery systems — and align all documentation with the National Construction Code (NCC 2025) and local utility requirements.

What changed in NCC 2025 (National Construction Code 2025)?

NCC 2025 was released in May 2026 and updates NCC 2022 across all volumes. Key electrical and energy efficiency changes include updated Section J6 artificial lighting requirements and tightened Part J minimum energy performance provisions. We design to NCC 2025 from the moment a state or territory adopts it, keeping your documentation current with the adopted version in your jurisdiction.

How do you calculate maximum demand per AS/NZS 3000?

Maximum demand calculations in Australia follow Appendix C of AS/NZS 3000:2018 Wiring Rules, applying after-diversity maximum demand (ADMD) factors to determine the actual peak load drawn from a dwelling or commercial sub-board. We produce maximum demand calculations for main switchboard sizing, submain cable selection and network connection applications — documented to the standard and utility network operator requirements.

Do you design lighting to Section J6 and AS/NZS 1680?

Yes. We design interior lighting layouts to AS/NZS 1680 illuminance recommendations and verify compliance with NCC Section J6 illumination power density limits and control requirements — including occupancy sensing and daylight zones — plus emergency and exit lighting to AS/NZS 2293.

Can you work as an extension of our local Australian or NZ team?

Yes. Our collaborative model delivers highly coordinated electrical systems ready for immediate use by local contractors, freeing your team to lead client relationships. Our time-zone overlap with eastern Australia means deliverables arrive in-hours, not overnight.

Do you design solar PV and battery storage systems to Australian standards?

Yes. We design solar PV array wiring to AS/NZS 5033 and grid connection switchgear to AS/NZS 4777 (Grid Connection of Energy Systems via Inverters), coordinating with local DNSP requirements for export limits and protection settings. Battery storage systems (BESS) are designed to AS/NZS 5139 and the relevant NCC and local council requirements.

Do you design EV charging installations?

Yes. We design dedicated EV charging circuits and distribution capacity to AS/NZS 3000 requirements — including load management for multi-charger installations, switchboard provisions and coordination with the local network operator on connection and demand requirements.
