New Farm Switchboard Upgrade & Relocation – Body Corporate
14 Unit Switchboard Upgrade and Relocation
Body Corporate switchboard upgrades require a special understanding of all participants, needs and requirements, safety regulations and budgets. This particular Body Corporate engaged our help to assist in the upgrade and relocation of their main switchboard.
Project details
The switchboard was relocated to a suitable location at the front of the complex that met compliance with the Australian Standards AS3000:2018 as the old location was in a car park. As this switchboard was plinth mounted on a concrete slab, a custom-made switchboard was installed with a very specific colour chosen by the client to suit their building façade.
Top questions all Owners and Body Corporate Managers should know the answers to regarding a building’s switchboard:
- Is the switchboard compliant with the current Australian Standards?
- Is there sufficient safety switches on all the power and lighting circuits?
- Is the switchboard in a compliant location?
- Was the switchboard inspected by a licenced electrician within the last 2 years?
- Is the switchboard locked away safely from the public and made from fire retardant material?
- Do you know the current power capacity of the building? (Important when considering installing EV Chargers or new air conditioners etc)
