First Fix to Final Cert — Built into Your Programme.
First fix runs to your stud-up schedule, not the other way around. We coordinate cable routing with plumbing and HVAC at design stage so trades don't trip over each other on site.

FAQ
New Build Electrical — Common Questions
When should I bring an electrician onto a new build project?
Ideally at design stage — earlier engagement means cleaner cable routing, fewer changes mid-build. At minimum before plasterboard.
Do you work directly with main contractors or only homeowners?
Both. We've delivered as the electrical sub on 90-unit developments and as the lead electrician on one-off self-builds.
What does first fix vs second fix mean?
First fix is cable, back boxes and fixed wiring before plaster. Second fix is sockets, switches, lights and CU after plaster/decoration. We schedule both around your trades.
Do you supply the consumer unit and protection?
Yes — Hager boards as standard, full RCBO protection. Spec can be upgraded if you want surge protection, AFDD, or three-phase.
