Establish the starting point.
Existing supply, measured demand, equipment condition and site constraints inform the brief. Load studies and power analysis support that work where required.
Electrical and asset services across Australia.
Electrical infrastructure, from the first question to the finished system.
You know what needs to change. The answer may still need working out.
Commercial electrical in Melbourne → · EV charging for strata →
A site needs more capacity. An operation is changing. Existing infrastructure is holding back what comes next. We investigate the conditions, develop the approach and turn it into a defined, deliverable project. Our work carries through design, planning, installation and the drawings and documentation that support the finished system. On operating sites, access, isolation and sequencing are planned around the work that needs to keep running. Maintenance and repairs support the system after handover.
From individual sites to multi-state portfolios, one accountable team. Wattrix holds electrical contractor registrations in multiple states and territories, with further registrations in progress as we extend our coverage nationwide. We confirm the relevant licensing and delivery arrangements for each location before work is agreed.
Developed and delivered.
The thinking stays connected to the work.
Define the project.
Develop the design, scope and delivery approach. Coordinate capacity, access, sequencing and the relevant parties around what the site needs to achieve.
Install and document.
Carry the agreed work through installation and handover, with the drawings and supporting documentation for the finished system.
Electrification sits within that wider electrical system. EV charging, battery storage and solar interconnection are applications, alongside supply and switchboard upgrades and ongoing asset care.

One accountable team across four service lines.
The work most of our customers know us for. Across residential and commercial property, the assets stay available, compliant, and accounted for, before failure, not after it.
Installations
Installed once. Installed properly.
Qualified electricians, from luxury residential through to commercial high-rise. We install what we are then willing to maintain for the next ten years, and it shows in the work. Bring us the project and we will tell you plainly what it needs.
Preventative maintenance
Availability and reliability, held.
Maintenance across residential and commercial property with accountability clearly defined: you see the schedule, the record, and the person responsible. Faults get found while they are still cheap, and the asset stays available.
Ad hoc maintenance
Planned and urgent maintenance.
When general or urgent repairs are required, we mobilise quickly. We aim to respond to general maintenance within twenty-four hours and complete it within seven days, and to attend urgent maintenance within four hours.
Safety and compliance
Defects found before the claim.
The Owners Corporation Act 2006 holds an OC liable for personal injury or property damage in connection with common property. Our inspection highlights electrical defects that increase the risk of a claim. Wattrix assists with risk-mitigation inspections and rectifications.
Who we keep running.
Live environments depend on continuity.
If you are responsible for safety, compliance, or uptime, you know the cost of uncertainty. Unplanned downtime. Compliance risk. Reactive maintenance. No clear ownership. Wattrix exists to remove those problems, and stays accountable after handover.

The full scope.
Plan electrification around the whole building.
Start with existing demand, the changes ahead and the assets already in service. Capacity, staged upgrades and ongoing care belong in the same plan, whether the next project includes EV charging or another change to the building's electrical needs.
Main switchboard
Upgrades, replacement, capacity modelling against the ten-year demand profile, not the headline plate rating.
EV infrastructure
Site-wide load management, sub-metering, OCPP-compliant chargers, billing integration. Designed to expand without rework.
Standby power
Generator integration, automatic transfer switches, life-safety circuits, fire-system interface.
Compliance infrastructure
Test and tag programme, AS/NZS 3019 periodic verification, thermographic imaging, COES filing.
Project recovery
When you have inherited a building that has no record. Forensic site assessment. Asset register catch-up. A defensible record on file.
EV charging . One practice within the work.
EV charging is one part of the work.
Electric vehicle infrastructure is one of the things we install, and we are among the most experienced in the country at it. It sits inside the broader electrical and asset-services work, not the other way around. When an owners corporation comes to us for EV, the supply arrangement tells us which workstream to run.
Type A
Multi-level carpark on common property. Site-wide load management. Contractor of record.
OCPP-compliant chargers. Real-time site-level load management. Per-bay sub-metering through a managed billing platform. Fire-system and EWIS shunt-trip interlock. Six-stage workstream from feasibility through commissioning to handover.
Type B
Townhouse with individual NMIs. In-lot domestic install. OC governs.
In-lot install as a domestic AS/NZS 3000 install on the owner's meter. Fixed wall-mounted residential charger. OC governance role rather than contractor of record. Power Load Analysis refresh at the 40-install threshold. Four-stage townhouse workflow.
Three EV paths for apartment buildings.
Start with the building, then specify the charger.
There is not one right EV path for every building. There are three, and the right one depends on the building's supply headroom, EV adoption trajectory, billing posture, and capital appetite. Wattrix helps the building pick the path that will still make sense in five years.
Path 1 · Unmanaged outlets
Basic socket use.
Existing power outlets. No load management. Lowest cost. Suitable for occasional charging, very low EV adoption, and buildings where each owner pays their own power bill via the main meter. The path you outgrow first.
Path 2 · Managed Level 1
Low-cost charging with controls.
Managed Level 1 charging via metered outlets. Dynamic load balancing. Control infrastructure. Suits cost-sensitive committees, long overnight dwell time, and limited appetite for capital works. A valid path for the right building.
Path 3 · Full EV infrastructure
Site-wide load management backbone.
Dedicated EV distribution. OCPP-compliant chargers. Per-bay sub-metering. Billing integration. Scalable to higher adoption. The strongest path where adoption is forecast to grow, billing accuracy matters, and the building is being built as a long-term asset.
The qualification gate is the building's Power and Load Analysis. The methodology behind that analysis is published below for consultants to cite and committees to read.
Read the methodology →Building electrification starting point.
What does your building need for its next electrical upgrade?
Ten questions about capacity, electrical records, investment and responsibilities. Use them to prepare for changing building demand, plant upgrades or EV charging. Your summary is immediate. No email required.
Service reality.
What happens after the job matters.
Most websites do not say what really happens after the install. Wattrix does. Five plain-language pieces for the committee member, the building manager, and the resident who just wants to know why.
The relationship continues after handover.
Our ongoing electrical service connects inspections, maintenance, repairs and the history of the equipment. We agree what is covered, identify what needs attention and help plan the next action. Your team keeps control of priorities and approvals.
