For commercial, industrial and public-sector fit-out projects
Commercial & Industrial Electrical Fit-Outs in Scotland
Coordinated electrical packages for new units, refurbishments, extensions and reconfigured work areas. WB Electrical brings distribution, containment, power, lighting, testing and handover into one agreed scope.
Based in Larkhall, we support fit-out projects across Glasgow, Lanarkshire and the Central Belt, with larger project-led work elsewhere in Scotland considered by agreement.
Define the package early. Coordinate first fix. Hand over clearly.
One package for a wider electrical change
When a complete electrical fit-out makes sense
A fit-out is the right route when several electrical systems need to be delivered together against one layout, programme and handover. The premises can be empty, partly occupied or already operating, provided the scope and interfaces are agreed.
A new unit is being prepared
A shell, core, landlord or tenant space needs distribution, cable routes, small power, lighting and equipment supplies coordinated before occupation.
A refurbishment affects several systems
Retained and new electrical infrastructure must work together while rooms, production areas, welfare spaces or commercial layouts are changed.
A project needs one electrical package
A client or main contractor wants the electrical work defined from drawings or a tender pack, coordinated with other trades and delivered from first fix through testing and handover.
If you only need a few defined changes to an existing installation, use Additions & Alterations.
Distribution, routes, power and close-out
What an electrical fit-out can include
The final package is defined against the proposed use, drawings, specification, existing installation and project responsibilities. WB can combine the electrical elements that belong together, while keeping specialist and client responsibilities clear.
Distribution and cable infrastructure
Main or sub-distribution, sub-mains, containment, cabling and associated routes developed around the agreed loads, layout, access and future operation.
Power, lighting and equipment supplies
Small power, general circuits, lighting, controls interfaces and dedicated single or three-phase supplies with local isolation where they form part of the agreed fit-out.
Testing, labelling and handover
Inspection, testing, applicable electrical certification, circuit identification and agreed project records to support occupation, operation and future maintenance.
Mechanical equipment, fire, security, controls, data and other specialist systems can interface with the electrical package without automatically becoming WB design or commissioning responsibilities. Those boundaries are confirmed before work proceeds.
Drawings, interfaces and programme
Plan the fit-out around the wider project
Electrical fit-out work has to meet the construction sequence and the way the premises will operate. Bring drawings, equipment data, key dates and known constraints into the conversation early so routes, loads, access and responsibilities can be checked before first fix.
01
Review the project information
We review the brief, drawings, specification, intended use, major loads, retained installation and the dates already set for first fix, second fix, testing and handover.
02
Agree responsibilities and access
The client, design team, main contractor and specialist trades identify who owns design information, supply changes, builders work, access, shutdowns, penetrations and connected-system commissioning.
03
Coordinate installation and handover
Routes and infrastructure are sequenced with other trades, then the agreed electrical work is installed, inspected, tested, labelled and closed out against the project scope.
Unclear interfaces can create omissions or rework. Incoming supply changes, landlord works, fire stopping, specialist-system design, temporary power and final integrated commissioning should be assigned to the responsible party rather than assumed to sit within the electrical fit-out.
Have drawings or a tender pack? Send the project information to WB.
From installation to a usable close-out
Testing, certification and handover
A clear electrical handover
- Inspection and testing matched to the completed electrical installation and agreed scope.
- Applicable electrical certificates and test results for the work completed.
- Board, circuit, local isolation and connection-point identification where included.
- Agreed marked-up, as-fitted or product information where the contract requires it.
The handover should show what WB completed and what remains outside the electrical package, so the client, contractor and future maintenance team can distinguish finished work from follow-on items.
Keep specialist interfaces visible
- Mechanical plant selection and mechanical commissioning where owned by the appointed specialist.
- Fire, security, controls, data or technology design and functional commissioning where separately appointed.
- Landlord, client or design-team approvals and information that sit outside WB’s agreed responsibility.
- Builders work, penetrations, finishes and fire stopping unless expressly included and allocated.
Responsibilities can be allocated differently on a particular contract. The quotation and project information should record the actual arrangement rather than rely on assumptions.
For projects where several building-services packages meet, M&E Project Support provides the wider contractor and specialist-interface route.

Bridon-Bekaert
WB Electrical has supported Bridon-Bekaert since 2014 across manufacturing and warehouse facilities in Coatbridge and Grangemouth. The published work includes distribution, three-phase supplies, containment, cable routes, lighting, equipment power and high-level access.
This is evidence of the individual electrical capabilities and live-site coordination used within fit-out work. It is not presented as proof that every recorded Bridon-Bekaert task formed one complete fit-out contract.

Commercial electrical fit-out questions
What is included in a complete electrical fit-out?
A complete package can include distribution, sub-mains, containment, cabling, small power, lighting, controls interfaces, dedicated equipment supplies, inspection, testing, certification, labelling and agreed handover records. The quotation should state exactly what is included.
Can WB work from drawings, a specification or a tender pack?
Yes. WB can review drawings, specifications, schedules, bills of quantities, contractor briefs and marked-up layouts. Questions, exclusions and missing interface information should be resolved before the quotation and programme are treated as final.
Does WB provide electrical design as part of the fit-out?
WB can provide electrical design input and coordination within an agreed scope. The project must still identify who holds overall design responsibility, who provides equipment and specialist design information, and who approves changes. Those responsibilities are confirmed before work proceeds.
Can fit-out work be phased around an occupied or operational site?
Often, but the method depends on access, safe isolation, temporary arrangements, noise, dust, other trades and the services that must remain available. Phasing, out-of-hours work or agreed shutdowns can be considered once the actual site and scope are understood.
How is an electrical fit-out priced?
Cost depends on the premises, proposed use, existing supply and installation, drawings or specification, quantities, equipment loads, access, programme, materials, working hours and handover requirements. A clear brief or tender pack helps WB define allowances, exclusions and the work that can be priced firmly.
Choose the route that matches the size of the requirement
Connected electrical services around a fit-out
Only a few defined changes are needed
Sockets, lighting points, local circuits and relocations are normally better handled as commercial small works rather than a complete fit-out.
The requirement is mainly infrastructure
A board, capacity or cable-route package can be scoped separately when the wider premises does not need a complete electrical fit-out.
Equipment or specialist systems drive the project
Use the narrower route when the main requirement is equipment power or when WB is supporting another contractor’s M&E or specialist package.

Request an electrical fit-out review or quotation
Send the project information you already have. WB can review the likely electrical package, identify missing scope or interface information and advise whether the next step should be a tender review, site survey or coordination discussion.
Information for your quotation
- Premises type, proposed use and current project stage.
- Drawings, specifications, schedules, tender information or marked-up layouts, if available.
- Major loads, plant, equipment and specialist-system interfaces.
- First-fix, second-fix, testing, commissioning and handover dates.
- Site access, live-area, phasing, permit and shutdown constraints.
Mention any drawings, schedules or photographs in the quote form. The office will confirm a suitable way to share larger project packs.
What affects electrical fit-out cost?
The premises, existing supply and installation, scope, quantities, equipment loads, access, programme, materials, working hours and handover requirements all affect the price. A clear brief or tender pack helps separate firm scope, provisional allowances and exclusions.
The next step may be a document or tender review, a site survey or a quotation. Connected specialist or temporary-power requirements can be scoped separately where that gives the project clearer responsibility and pricing.
