Commercial and industrial electrical projects
Complete Electrical Fit-Outs Across Scotland
Coordinated electrical packages for commercial units, warehouses, factories, refurbishments and operational premises, from first fix through testing and handover.
WB Electrical works with clients, main contractors, project managers and other trades to define interfaces, coordinate distribution, containment, lighting and equipment power, then deliver the agreed electrical package against the project programme.
Bring electrical coordination into the programme early
Early input helps confirm drawings, loads, routes, access, responsibilities and first-fix dates before procurement, finishes and commissioning milestones restrict the available options.

One defined electrical package
When Does a Complete Electrical Fit-Out Make Sense?
A complete fit-out suits a new unit, refurbishment, extension or reconfigured work area that needs several electrical systems delivered as one coordinated package. It gives the client or contractor one defined route from project information and first fix through testing and handover.
The project does not need to begin with an empty shell. WB can review what should be retained, altered, decommissioned, replaced or installed new, then distinguish the electrical package from the responsibilities of the client, design team and other trades.
A good starting point when you need to:
- Fit out a shell, core or empty commercial unit for occupation
- Refurbish or extend commercial premises, a warehouse or an industrial site
- Create a new production, workshop, welfare or operational area
- Coordinate landlord, tenant or multi-area electrical requirements
- Deliver an electrical package within a main contractor programme
Typical electrical fit-out package
What Can a Complete Electrical Fit-Out Include?
The final package is defined against the proposed use, drawings, specification, existing installation and project responsibilities. These are common elements of commercial and industrial electrical fit-outs.
Distribution Boards and Sub-Mains
Main distribution, sub-boards, sub-mains and protective arrangements developed around the agreed loads, site layout and future operation.
Containment and Cable Routes
Tray, basket, ladder, trunking, conduit and cable routes coordinated with the structure, ceilings, equipment and other building services.
Small Power and General Circuits
Socket outlets, local supplies, general circuits and connection points positioned for the intended workplace, equipment and operational layout.
Lighting and Controls
Internal, external, task and emergency lighting infrastructure with switching or control arrangements defined for the agreed fit-out scope.
Plant, HVAC and Equipment Supplies
Dedicated single or three-phase supplies, routes and local isolation for suitable mechanical plant, kitchens, production equipment and commercial systems.
Testing, Labelling and Handover
Inspection, testing, certification, circuit identification and the agreed project records needed to support occupation, operation and future maintenance.
Prepare the project information
What Helps WB Scope an Electrical Fit-Out?
A project may arrive as a developed tender pack, a drawing set or an early-stage brief. Share the information already available and identify what still needs to be confirmed so the next review is proportionate to the project stage.
- Site address, premises type and current project stage
- Drawings, specifications, schedules, tender information or marked-up layouts
- Proposed use, occupancy, production process or operational layout
- Load schedules and data for HVAC, kitchens, machinery or other specialist equipment
- Responsibilities and interfaces between the client, design team, main contractor and specialist trades
- Programme dates for access, first fix, second fix, testing, commissioning and handover
- Site rules, permits, access equipment, live areas and any out-of-hours constraints
An initial review can begin with the information available, but existing supply capacity, retained circuits, hidden routes and actual site conditions may still require verification before the final quotation or installation scope is confirmed.
One Electrical Package, Clear Project Interfaces
Fit-out work interfaces with the incoming supply, retained electrical installation, mechanical equipment, specialist systems, temporary services, builders work and finishes. Recording those boundaries early helps prevent omissions, duplicated allowances and assumptions at handover.
WB Electrical Fit-Out Scope
WB’s agreed package may include distribution, sub-mains, containment, cabling, small power, lighting, dedicated equipment supplies, electrical inspection, testing, certification, labelling and defined handover records.
Other Trades and Specialist Systems
Equipment suppliers and mechanical, fire, security, controls or data specialists retain their own design, product, settings and functional commissioning responsibilities unless the contract expressly assigns them elsewhere. WB can coordinate the agreed power, containment and connection interfaces.
Existing Building and Project Responsibilities
Incoming supply changes, landlord works, builders work, openings, finishes, access provision, fire stopping and design approvals may sit with other parties. M&E Project Support can help coordinate electrical interfaces with building-services contractors, while Data and Connectivity Infrastructure covers suitable physical network installations. Temporary Power Solutions is assessed separately where construction or phased operation needs it.
From brief to coordinated handover
How an Electrical Fit-Out Is Planned and Delivered
The delivery method follows the actual project information, responsibilities, procurement programme, access and other trades. Dates, phasing and handover expectations are confirmed against the agreed scope rather than assumed from the term fit-out.
01
Define Scope and Responsibilities
We review the brief, drawings, specification, intended use, required outcomes and the boundary between WB’s package and other project responsibilities.
02
Survey, Review and Coordinate
Existing conditions, supply capacity, routes, loads, access and interfaces are checked, with questions and coordination items raised before installation.
03
Complete First Fix and Infrastructure
Distribution, containment, cabling and concealed infrastructure are installed and coordinated with the construction sequence and other services.
04
Install, Verify and Hand Over
Second-fix equipment and accessories are completed, followed by inspection, testing, labelling and the handover information applicable to the agreed electrical package.
Verified industrial experience behind the package
Electrical Infrastructure Delivered Through Site Change
WB Electrical has supported Bridon-Bekaert since 2014 across industrial manufacturing and warehouse facilities in Coatbridge and Grangemouth. The published relationship spans initial setup, operational changes, electrical upgrades and the later decommissioning of one site.
The documented work includes distribution, three-phase supplies, containment, cable routes, lighting, equipment power and high-level access. It demonstrates the individual capabilities used within an industrial fit-out while showing that those systems must remain adaptable throughout a site’s working life.

Practical answers before the project scope is agreed
Questions About Commercial Electrical Fit-Outs
These answers explain common scope, design, programme and handover considerations. The final package still depends on the project information, existing site and responsibilities agreed between the parties.
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 contract 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 supplies design information and equipment data, and who approves changes. These responsibilities are confirmed before work proceeds.
Can WB work to a main contractor programme or phased handover?
Yes, where the scope, information, access and procurement dates support the required sequence. First fix, second fix, testing and area handovers can be coordinated against the wider programme, with changes managed through the agreed project route.
Can existing electrical infrastructure be retained during a refurbishment?
Potentially. The relevant supply, distribution, circuits, containment and equipment need to be suitable for the new use and intended alterations. Survey, inspection or testing may be needed before retention can be confirmed and priced.
Can fit-out work be completed while part of the premises remains operational?
Often, but the method depends on access, safe isolation, temporary arrangements, noise, dust, other trades and the services that must remain available. Suitable 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 and handover requirements. A clear brief or tender pack helps WB prepare a more defined quotation and identify provisional or excluded items.
What testing and handover information will be provided?
The completed electrical work is inspected and tested as appropriate. Relevant electrical certificates, test results, board and circuit schedules, labels and agreed project information are supplied where they apply. As-fitted drawings, product information or wider O&M material are included only where stated in the scope.
Connected project and lifecycle routes
Connected Services Around an Electrical Fit-Out
