RENOVATIONS & BUILDS
New build electrician in Adelaide.
Your new home, wired the way you'll live in it. On program.
A standard electrical package fits a standard family. You're not one.
Most new builds come with a set number of lights and powerpoints. They go where the plan template says.
Nobody asks where your desk goes. Or your TV. Or your car charger.
You find out at handover. Then every change is a variation.
What happens if you leave it
- Extra points added after the build cost more and look patched.
- No EV charger or solar prep now means a bigger job later.
- A late electrician holds up every trade after rough-in.

FAQs
Can I pick my own electrician on a new build?
Many owner-builders and custom builders allow it. Ask your builder, or have them call me.
When do you need the plans?
As early as possible. Before rough-in at the very latest.
Can you set up for solar and an EV charger?
Yes. It's much cheaper during the build.
Do you coordinate with the builder?
Yes. Directly, so you're not the go-between.
