Emergency lighting is mandatory in commercial premises and must illuminate escape routes for a minimum period during power failure. Fire detection circuits must be wired to appropriate standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

How early should I involve an electrician in my fit-out planning?

As early as possible, ideally during the design phase. This allows us to plan cable routes before walls are built, position sockets optimally, and coordinate with other trades. Retrofitting electrical work after construction is significantly more expensive.

Do you handle both power and data cabling?

Yes. We install both electrical power circuits and structured data cabling (Cat6/Cat6A). Having one contractor for both ensures coordination and prevents conflicts between cable routes.

Is emergency lighting required for my office in Mossel Bay?

Yes. All commercial premises require emergency lighting that illuminates escape routes during power failure. The number and placement of emergency lights depends on the building layout. We install compliant emergency lighting as part of every commercial fit-out.

Can you work around our business hours?

Yes. For fit-outs in occupied buildings, we can schedule noisy work after hours or on weekends to minimise disruption to your business operations. We are flexible with scheduling for commercial clients.
