New Build Electrical Installations
First and second fix electrical installations for new builds, from drawings through to certification.
What a new build installation actually involves
First fix is the cabling that goes in before plastering; second fix is the fittings that go in after. Both are covered, working from architect or engineer drawings where they're provided.
The consumer unit is sized correctly for the property from the outset, rather than being sized to the minimum and needing an upgrade later on.
The work is coordinated around the build programme and the other trades on site, so first fix lands at the right point rather than holding anything up or getting closed in early.

Common questions
- Do you work from architect or engineer drawings?
- Yes, where they're provided the installation is set out to them.
- What stage should we get you involved from?
- Before first fix, so cabling goes in ahead of plastering and the consumer unit can be sized correctly for the property from the outset.
- How does it work alongside the other trades?
- The work is coordinated around the build programme and the other trades rather than run in isolation, so first fix happens before the walls close in.
- Is the finished installation certified?
- Yes — the job runs from drawings through to certification of the completed installation.
