Electrical
installation.
New electrical work, alterations and upgrades approached with proper consideration for the existing installation and the requirement in front of us.
Where installation fits.
Understanding the brief, the existing installation and the practical constraints first helps the work fit the property rather than being treated as an isolated task.
New circuits
Electrical additions planned around the requirement and existing installation.
Alterations & upgrades
Changes to existing electrical work when a property or space evolves.
Extensions & refurbishments
Electrical work coordinated with wider changes to a home or premises.
Additional requirements
Practical additions where the scope needs to be understood before work starts.
Good installation starts before the tools come out.
Understanding the brief, the existing installation and the practical constraints first helps the work fit the property rather than being treated as an isolated task.
The requirement
What the space needs to do, who uses it and what is changing.
The existing system
How new work needs to integrate with the electrical installation already in place.
The wider job
Access, sequencing and any other trades or project decisions that affect the electrical work.
A practical process.
Clear at each stage.
Define the requirement
Start with what the space needs to do and any constraints around the work.
Review the existing installation
Understand what is already there before deciding how new work should integrate.
Plan the work
Agree the practical scope and sequence before installation begins.
Installation
Carry out the work with attention to the building, occupants and surrounding systems.
Review
Confirm what has been completed and explain anything that needs to happen next.
Domestic, commercial
& specialist.
The same service can mean something different depending on the building, how it is used and the decision you need to make.
Domestic
Homes, extensions, alterations and upgrades.
Commercial
Business premises, landlords and facilities.
Specialist
More unusual environments or technically specific requirements.
Before you get in touch.
You do not need to know the technical terminology. These are the questions people often have before starting a conversation.
Can APIC look at the existing installation before work is agreed?
The first step is understanding the requirement and what is already in place. That context helps define an appropriate scope before installation begins.
Do you work in domestic and commercial properties?
APIC works across homes, business premises and more specialist settings. Tell us where the work is and what needs to change.
What if the property will be occupied during the work?
Tell APIC about access, occupancy and any practical constraints at the start. They can then be considered when the work is planned.
I already have drawings or a specification. Should I send them?
Yes. Existing drawings, specifications, reports or photographs can help make the first conversation more useful.
Start with the requirement.
Tell APIC what you need the property or space to do, and we can work from there.
