How Do We Design Electrical Systems For Offices?

As a commercial electrician, we carry out projects regularly in a variety of offices. Whether we are turning an office into creating state-of-the-art wiring designs that include data cabling, lighting, energy and alarm systems, the designs we produce are critical to the success of the entire project. Therefore, in this publication, we think we would share with you our overall design process, so you can see how much effort and dedication are devoted to each one.

The basics of electrical design

Before the electrical design process can begin, we must ensure that what was requested works within the construction plans of the architect, the builder or the owner. These plans detail the information that the local inspection authority needs to know to approve the plans, as well as specific electrical designs and documentation that ensures that these designs will adhere to the required building regulations. We will determine if the electrical designs are feasible, we will suggest how they can be improved and then we will send the plans to the owner to send them to the local authority.

The design process:

Step 1: Project scope

The scope of the design depends on what the office requires. For example, if you require a new electrical system, we will determine the best way to incorporate all new electrical wiring into this system. At this stage, we also ensure that new systems can cope with additional loads that will be expected from them.

Step 2: The electrical plan

A design plan will include several parts:

General electrical requirements, such as electrical outlets found throughout the office, are used for computers.

Specialized electrical requirements, for equipment that may need separate electrical circuits, such as microwaves and vending machines.

· Lighting systems, including accessories and their controls.

· Electrical distribution systems, such as the switchboard.

Step 3: Ensure that industry standards are met

When each part of the design plan has been determined, we design each part according to industry standards to ensure safety and performance. These standards include BS 7671: 2018, which refers to electrical installations, including protection against electric shock, voltage disturbances and thermal effects.

Step 4: Giving life to the electrical plan

With steps 1–3 complete, we create the plan using plans or a CAD tool (computer-aided design), which allows us to visualize the electrical circuits of the office. Each device is referenced by several symbols to ensure that everyone involved understands the plan. Then we present our plan to the architect or builder, who, as mentioned above, will transmit it to the local authority.

It requires a lot of work and experience, but it is always worth it. If you are looking for a professional Electrical Maintenance Service Company to work on your next office project, why don’t you call us today at 01908920292 and start the ball?
