To ensure buildings are safe, whether in a new build, or when retrofitting and renovating existing and historic properties, electrical building services are fundamental to maintain safety standards, meet the latest energy regulations, and functional needs of the space. Core electrical services cover a significant number of systems in businesses, homes and residential spaces such as power distribution, emergency lighting, security and fire alarm systems, earthing and bonding, internet/datacomms, smart meters, EV charging and sustainable energy and monitoring systems.
Core Electrical Services
All core electrical services should always be carried out by registered and qualified electricians and electrical engineers, as they are knowledgeable with current compliance and safety regulations, for wiring rules, energy standards and any possible grant schemes which would support upgrades for existing structures. When carrying out electrical building services, electricians and electrical engineers will collaborate and liaise with contractors, architects, mechanical engineers, in addition to other trades on site, to suit the needs of the space and/or scope of the building project, carrying out site inspections, periodic reports and quality checks throughout as needed.
No Two Builds Are The Same
Likewise it is important to emphasise that each site will be different, and especially so when retrofitting and upgrading existing or historic properties, as systems such as wiring and energy standards, may require upgrading or rewiring, or additional inspections and certifications may be needed to demonstrate safety compliance throughout. While the thorough process of core electrical services is shared between new and old spaces, it is more straightforward for new builds, due to all systems being immediately integrated for current safety and wiring rules, the latest datacomms/internet connections and energy efficiency.
