Full-scope commercial delivered on programme
Office, retail, hospitality, and strata fit-outs — distribution boards, emergency and exit lighting, and tenancy works delivered to deadline.
Commercial electrical work demands more than a licensed electrician and a ute full of cable. It demands programme discipline, coordination with builders, tenancy managers, and subcontractors, an intimate understanding of the relevant Australian Standards, and the contractual and insurance foundations that protect principals and head contractors on complex sites. Apex Current Solutions delivers full-scope commercial electrical services across office fit-outs, retail tenancies, hospitality venues, strata buildings, and mixed-use developments — on programme, on budget, and with the compliance documentation to satisfy certifiers, base building managers, and body corporate requirements.
Our commercial division operates under an electrical contractor licence with commercial and industrial endorsements, and every project lead is a licensed master electrician accountable for design compliance with AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules, AS/NZS 2293 emergency and exit lighting, and the National Construction Code electrical provisions. We hold current public liability and contractor all-risk insurances commensurate with head-contract requirements, and our WHS management system is audited annually against Safe Work Australia guidance and relevant state codes of practice.
Office Fit-Outs, Retail & Hospitality
A commercial fit-out electrical scope demands early coordination with architects, services engineers, and project managers. We engage at design development stage, reviewing electrical drawings against NCC Section J energy efficiency requirements, confirming switchboard spare capacity and distribution board protection schedules, and identifying any base building landlord approvals required before first fix. Our site teams work day, evening, and weekend shifts to meet critical programme milestones — particularly around tenant handover dates where liquidated damages clauses are in play. All materials are sourced from accredited Australian distributors, and every switchboard, distribution board, and circuit is labelled and scheduled to our standard handover format.
Distribution Boards, Emergency & Exit Lighting
- Distribution board design, supply, and installation to AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS 61439
- Emergency and exit lighting systems to AS/NZS 2293.1, with annual test regime documentation
- Power and lighting fit-out for offices, retail, hospitality, and mixed-use tenancies
- Strata and base building electrical infrastructure: risers, metering, and common area services
- After-hours, weekend, and shutdown works with minimal disruption to adjacent tenants
Emergency and exit lighting compliance is one of the most consistently under-maintained elements in commercial buildings. AS/NZS 2293.1 mandates specific lux levels, battery backup durations, and annual inspection and testing regimes. Apex Current Solutions designs emergency lighting systems from first principles — calculating maintained illuminance levels, emergency duration, and signage spacing — and establishes a documented test and maintenance schedule at commissioning. We provide owners and building managers with AS/NZS 2293.2 maintenance log templates and annual test certificates required by fire authorities and building certifiers.
Strata, Tenancy Works & After-Hours Delivery
Strata buildings and multi-tenancy commercial assets present unique coordination challenges: base building electrical rooms, common property metering, body corporate approval processes, and neighbouring tenants whose operations cannot be disrupted by unplanned outages. Apex Current Solutions manages these constraints as standard operating practice, not an exception. Our site supervisors maintain live outage coordination schedules, issue advanced notices to affected parties, and stage isolation events to minimise downtime. For after-hours and weekend delivery, our commercial team operates on a 24-hour on-call roster, with supervisors empowered to make on-site decisions without delay.
Apex Current Solutions is accepting commercial electrical enquiries for immediate programme, as well as projects at design development and tender stage. Contact our commercial projects team for a scope review, preliminary estimate, and a clear understanding of what full-scope electrical delivery from a licensed master electrician firm looks like in practice.

Commercial Electrical — your questions answered
Our standard handover package includes a Certificate of Electrical Compliance for all regulated electrical work, as-built drawings and cable schedules, switchboard and distribution board schedules with circuit labelling, AS/NZS 2293.2 emergency lighting commissioning certificates and test logs, and WHS and materials compliance records. For projects requiring building certifier sign-off, we liaise directly with the certifier to confirm documentation format requirements before project completion.
Yes. After-hours, weekend, and public holiday delivery is a standard capability of our commercial division, not an exception that attracts unreasonable surcharges. We build after-hours staging into the project programme from the outset, with outage coordination notices issued to affected parties in advance. Our site supervisors hold current electrical licences and are authorised to make on-site decisions, ensuring works proceed efficiently without delays.
Yes. We are experienced in preparing and submitting the electrical documentation packages — typically including distribution board load schedules, riser capacity calculations, and a works methodology statement — required by base building managers and body corporates for fit-out approval. We liaise directly with the landlord's building manager and services engineer to resolve technical queries and obtain written approvals prior to commencement.
Our design process incorporates a Section J lighting power density review at specification stage, ensuring the lamp types, luminaire efficacies, and control strategies we specify meet or exceed the relevant NCC deemed-to-satisfy pathway. For projects requiring a JV3 modelling pathway, we co-ordinate with the mechanical and energy modeller to provide accurate electrical load inputs. Commissioning data is documented to support the building's as-built NCC compliance record.
