The pre-construction guide
24 Things to Get the Electrical Right in a New Home
The decisions that matter most on a new build, and when each one needs making. Free, no sign-up.
We work on premium new builds across the Central Coast, handling every part of the electrical scope from design input through to handover. Lighting, power, solar and battery, audio, Wi-Fi and network, security, EV charging and underfloor heating.
The same things come up again and again. None of them are complicated. Almost all of them are cheap to get right while the house is still open, and expensive or impossible to change once it’s finished.

- 3Lighting and fitting selection. Why the standard downlight is the first thing we’d change.
- 4Bathrooms and wet areas. What tiling locks in permanently.
- 5Kitchen and living. Appliances, circuits, bench lighting and audio in the hub of the house.
- 6Outdoor living. Everything that depends on conduit going in before the ground is covered.
- 7Wi-Fi, network and security. Why the modem your provider sends won’t cover the house.
