What this job involves
Assess whether an existing distribution board needs replacement or reconfiguration.
Assessment before agreeing the work
Have the supply, circuits, protection and available installation records reviewed.
Scope to confirm in the quotation
Define board configuration, circuit identification, isolation and testing through the licensed professional.
How the cost is assessed
An electrical quotation depends on the existing installation, circuit capacity and intended equipment load. A new accessory can require more than a fitting swap. Tell the appointed electrical professional what the circuit supplies and whether drawings or past test records are available.
- Existing circuit capacity and protective devices
- Number of points and length of accessible cable routes
- Surface trunking versus approved concealed routes
- Isolation, testing, identification and reinstatement of finishes
The final scope and price depend on the site assessment, quantities, chosen materials and agreed exclusions. Ask for an itemised quotation rather than assuming a standard rate covers every condition.
Before the site visit
- List the equipment and accessories served by the proposed work.
- Provide photographs from a safe distance without opening electrical enclosures.
- Check when the premises can be safely isolated for the work.
Electrical work must be assessed and carried out by the appropriately licensed electrical worker where required. For HDB work, check the current electrical guidelines and permit conditions. Do not open distribution boards or attempt to work on live wiring.
Check the completed work
Review labelling, protective-device documentation and the completed installation test records.
Agree which records, material details and follow-up items will be handed over. Record any area outside the agreed scope so it is clear what has been inspected and what still needs attention.
