Electrical Services for Strata Properties

Managing the electrical infrastructure of a strata property comes with specific challenges — shared systems, compliance obligations, multiple stakeholders, and the need for minimal disruption to residents. Randwick Electrical works with strata managers, building managers, and owners' corporations across Sydney's Eastern Suburbs to keep buildings safe, compliant, and well-maintained.

Our Strata Electrical Services

  • Common area lighting — maintenance and upgrades for foyers, hallways, stairwells, car parks, and outdoor areas. LED upgrades can significantly reduce common area electricity costs
  • Emergency and exit lighting — installation, 6-monthly inspection, and annual testing as required by AS 2293 and BCA. We provide full compliance reports for your strata records
  • Switchboard maintenance — inspection and maintenance of main switchboards and distribution boards. Thermal scanning to identify hot connections before they become failures
  • Common area power — garden lighting, intercom power, gate and garage motor circuits, lift supply monitoring, and pool equipment circuits
  • EV charger installation — increasingly requested by residents. We design shared EV charging solutions with load management and individual metering
  • Safety compliance audits — comprehensive electrical safety audits covering all common area installations, switchboards, and emergency systems
  • Reactive maintenance — responsive fault attendance for common area electrical issues. Priority response for safety-related faults

Working with Strata Managers

We understand strata processes — quoting for committee approval, attending AGMs when needed, providing detailed compliance reports, and communicating with building managers. We carry $20M public liability insurance, provide detailed invoicing suitable for strata accounting, and maintain full documentation for all work performed.

Many buildings in the Eastern Suburbs — particularly in Randwick, Coogee, Bondi, and Maroubra — are 20-40 years old with common area electrical systems that haven't been upgraded. An LED lighting upgrade alone can reduce common area electricity costs by 60-80%, often paying for itself within 18 months through levy savings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does emergency lighting need to be tested?
Under AS 2293, emergency and exit lighting must be visually inspected every 6 months and discharge tested annually (the battery is drained for 90 minutes to verify it can maintain light output during a power failure). We provide full test reports for your strata records.
Can individual unit owners request electrical work in common areas?
Common area work typically requires approval from the owners' corporation or strata committee. We can provide quotes that you submit for approval, and we're happy to attend committee meetings to explain proposed work if needed.
How do you handle EV charger installation in strata buildings?
EV charging in strata buildings requires careful planning around power capacity, metering, and common property access. We design solutions that can include individual metering (so each EV owner pays for their usage), load management, and staged rollout as demand grows.
Do you offer maintenance contracts for strata buildings?
Yes. We provide annual maintenance contracts that include scheduled inspections, emergency and exit lighting testing, switchboard thermal scanning, and priority response for fault call-outs. Pricing is based on building size and scope.
