Execution Strategy: 
 

Pre-Construction & Planning 

• Collaborated with builders and refrigeration contractors to coordinate timing, site access and infrastructure requirements. 

• Scoped electrical load demands for expanded display cases and back-of-house chillers. 

• Planned staged shutdowns to avoid disruption to surrounding tenancies and minimise downtime. 
  
  

Fitout and Installation 

• Supplied and installed submains, final circuits and control cabling for all new refrigerated cases. 

• Upgraded switchboards and isolation points to suit revised floor layout. 

• Carried out detailed testing of refrigeration electrical systems before handover. 
  
  

Post-Commissioning Support 

• Completed final QA checks and compliance verification for all electrical installations. 

• Provided ongoing maintenance support for critical refrigeration systems. 

• Assisted with troubleshooting and performance optimisation after handover. 
  
  

Project Challenges and Solutions 

Live Retail Environment 

• Phased works after-hours to minimise impact on shoppers and maintain business continuity. 
  
  

Tight Schedule 

• Coordinated trades and suppliers to align with store reopening targets and award submission deadlines. 
  
  

Complex Services Coordination 

• Navigated congested ceiling and subfloor zones to re-route services without disrupting existing plant. 
  
  

Client Response 

We’re proud to have played a part in the Spencer Park IGA’s transformation, which was recently recognised with a state award for excellence. The upgrade delivered a more energy-efficient, customer-friendly layout—and thanks to early planning and collaborative execution, it went live with minimal disruption.
