Our team recently completed a switchboard upgrade for a strata-managed property in Doncaster, working closely with the strata manager and body corporate to ensure the upgrade was completed efficiently, safely, and with minimal disruption to residents. This project focused on improving electrical safety, reliability, and long-term compliance for shared lighting and power circuits.
