Upgrading the main switchboard in an apartment or unit complex involves more people than a typical job: the committee, the body corporate manager, residents, Energex and every owner’s electricity retailer. We manage the whole process so the committee can make decisions with confidence.
See our recent strata projects:
Approval normally comes from the body corporate committee, and larger projects may need a general meeting resolution depending on the scheme’s spending limits. We provide the reports and quotes needed for that decision.
Yes, for part of the work. We confirm the outage time at quoting, schedule it with the building manager and help notify residents in advance.
Usually, yes. We need access to test each unit’s electrical installation once the new board is connected. Units we cannot access stay isolated until testing can be completed.
Yes. We lodge the Energex notifications and coordinate meter changes with residents’ electricity retailers.
We can data log the building to measure spare capacity and recommend whether EV chargers can be added, whether load management is needed, or whether a capacity upgrade is required first.
Yes. We work directly with body corporate managers, building managers and committee members throughout the project.
As a Body Corporate Manager, having contractors that you can trust and rely upon is vital to meeting the needs of our clients, especially when it comes to major infrastructure such as community switchboards. With the team at Switchboard Solutions, we can feel comfortable and confident when putting them forward for work knowing that the customer experience will be paramount and any work will be completed to the highest standard.
