  • Informing any pre assumptions and risks involved

  • Preparation of spatial allowances for Main switchboards with allowance for space provision for PFC and AHF, DB cupboards and Electrical riser, Comms rooms with enough clearances for racks and security panels

  • Single Line Diagram Development to detailed design stages such as circuit breakers, cable sized properly to suit the voltage drops and fault levels and dault loop impedence levels, and full discrimination studies using powerCAD/ETAP software

  • Lighting design simulations completed using the AGI32 software and making a lighting layout that complies AS 1158, AS 1680, AS 4282

    • Any alternate packages to be offered to save money for the client

    • Section J7 calculations completed

  • Power drawings to calculate the load demand etc
