About CBD

Alice Springs didn't really grow as a town until the 1930s, so even in the CBD there are only a handful of genuinely early buildings. Most of what's standing today, including around Todd Mall, has been built, rebuilt or re-fitted many times since. In practice that means CBD switchboards are some of the most mixed in town: a decades-old commercial board behind one shopfront, a switchboard from last year's fit-out two doors down.

Commercial premises in the CBD also carry different obligations to a house. Test and tag on tools and appliances, safety switches on the right circuits, and a Certificate of Compliance on record for insurance and lease purposes. Trading hours matter too: a lot of our CBD work happens before opening or after close, so it doesn't cost a business a day's takings.

Working in the CBD also means factoring in things a suburban job doesn't. Loading-zone access, coordinating with a landlord or centre manager for after-hours entry, and timing the work around trading hours so a switchboard upgrade doesn't cost a business a day's takings. With Todd Mall and the surrounding streets carrying decades of shopfront turnover, we regularly find a switchboard that's been added to by every tenant since without ever being properly reviewed as a whole. A common and fixable problem, not a sign anything was done badly at the time. Whatever stage your premises is at. A new fit-out, a board inherited from the last tenant, or just due for its first proper review. We work around your trading hours, not the other way round.

Tell Us What You Need

Two ways in, because a burst-pipe emergency and a planned rewire need different questions. Pick whichever fits. For anything urgent, calling is faster than typing.

Something's broken

Four details and three taps. That's it. If it's unsafe or you have no power at all, please just call 0438 478 116. Day or night. If we're out of mobile range on a remote job, text and we'll call you back.

When do you need it done?

Rough budget, if you have one

Optional. It helps us scope the job sensibly rather than guess. It isn't a price and we won't hold you to it.

I'd like to apply for a customer account

Accounts are set up case by case. Sending this puts an application in front of us. We'll review it and call you back to talk it through. It doesn't open an account on its own, and neither of us is committed to anything by it.

These are what we'd need to assess an application. All optional. Send what you have.

A note on quotes: any price discussed by phone, quoted on-site, or given as a rough figure is an estimate based on what we can see and what you've told us. It becomes a firm quote once we've confirmed the full scope of work, and if anything changes once we start (an unforeseen fault, extra materials, access issues), we'll explain it and agree the change with you before continuing.
