Electrical Engineering

The work starts with the intended use and electrical demand of the space. Share existing service information, equipment specifications and the proposed layout so the engineer can establish the design and its connection to the existing installation.

An engineer may be needed when adding substantial loads, redesigning distribution or preparing electrical documents for a construction project.

Confirm the engineering scope with the professional you engage and any permit requirements with the local building department.

Topics that may be relevant to the review: CCTV, EV charger, PV system, UPS, access control and appliance circuit.

The engineer can review existing conditions, evaluate the proposed changes and prepare the calculations or design details included in the agreed scope.

• Designing power distribution for a commercial fit-out
• Evaluating added demand from new equipment

These documents may be relevant to the work. Agree on the deliverables with your engineer and confirm any submission requirements with the reviewing authority.

• electrical plans
• load calculation

• service upgrade

Start with a short description. These details can help define the scope, but you do not need everything ready to request a quote.

• The project city or county, and the property address if known
• What you want to build, change or repair
• How the space or site is used now and what you plan to change
