COMMERCIAL · STRATHFIELD

Commercial Fit-outs in Strathfield — done properly, first visit

Commercial electrical fit-outs are a different game to residential — the program is tighter, the sign-offs are more formal and the tenancy conditions dictate what you can and can't do inside the shell. We work as the electrical trade inside builder-led fit-outs and directly for tenants: sub-mains from the tenancy DB, general power to every workstation and kitchen bench, three-phase for commercial ovens, cool rooms and workshops, dedicated LED lighting circuits, exit and emergency lighting to AS 2293, data and comms cabling to workstations, and full testing and tagging on handover.

For hospitality and retail we plan works around trading hours — after-hours and weekend shifts to keep you open — and stage the electrical works so the builder can keep moving. For office fit-outs we coordinate with the base-building electrician, deliver the tenancy DB, sub-mains, general lighting and power, and hand over a fully tested and tagged tenancy with the electrical safety report the landlord's insurance requires.

Every commercial project ends with the same package: full test results, exit and emergency lighting log, test-and-tag register, Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work, and as-installed drawings if we designed the layout. $20M public liability and full workers cover — certificates on request for any site induction.

HOW THE JOB RUNS

Every commercial job, same 4 steps

  1. STEP 1

    Site walk-through

    We visit the tenancy with your builder or project manager, understand the scope and program, and quote inside 48 hours.

  2. STEP 2

    Rough-in

    Sub-mains from the tenancy DB, cable trays, GPO and lighting runs, data and comms cabling — all before ceiling and wall linings go on.

  3. STEP 3

    Fit-off and commissioning

    GPOs, switches, LED fittings, exit and emergency lighting, workstation power poles or floor boxes — installed, tested and labelled.

  4. STEP 4

    Certify and hand over

    Full test results, exit-lighting log, test-and-tag register, CoC and as-installed drawings. On-time, ready for occupancy sign-off.

Signs you need commercial

When to book a commercial sparky

  • New retail or hospitality lease and the shell is bare
  • Office fit-out with workstation power, data and lighting scope
  • Cafe or restaurant with three-phase kitchen equipment
  • Exit and emergency lighting overdue for the 6-monthly test
  • Test-and-tag register due for insurance or landlord audit
  • Existing tenancy needs a re-fit without closing the doors
  • Base-building electrical hand-over needs a tenancy DB installed

SYMPTOMS & CAUSES

What we usually see with commercial

Symptoms you tell us about
  • Landlord requires an electrical compliance report before fitout starts
  • Existing tenancy switchboard lacks capacity for new equipment

S

Sarah M.

Called at 11pm with a tripping switchboard. Electrician arrived within the hour, found the fault and had us back on safely. Honest and professional.

J

James P.

Burning smell from a powerpoint - they took it seriously, came straight out, replaced the circuit and explained everything. Fair fixed price, no upsell.

P

Priya K.

Lost half the house mid-storm. Empire were the only company that actually answered. Quoted upfront, fixed in one visit. Highly recommend.

D

Daniel R.

Safety switch kept tripping for weeks. Other sparkies just reset it. Empire actually found the faulty appliance and the dodgy wiring behind it.

M

Megan T.

Burst pipe took out our power. Empire arrived super fast, made it safe and stayed until everything was running again. Lifesavers.

C

Chris H.

Old switchboard was sparking. They replaced it the same day, all licensed and certified. Cleanest install I've seen.

O

Olivia W.

Power out the entire upstairs at 9pm with a newborn at home. Empire answered, dispatched and fixed it within two hours. So grateful.

M

Mark D.

Got three quotes for a switchboard upgrade. Empire weren't the cheapest but they were the clearest. Best decision - immaculate workmanship.

J

Jess L.

Storm tripped half the unit block. Empire turned up Sunday morning, no extra weekend gouge. Just sorted it. Strata are using them from now on.

T

Tony B.

Called five sparkies before Empire actually picked up. They explained the issue in plain English and gave a fixed price before touching anything.
