A specialist switchboard contractor for Queensland's commercial and industrial sectors.

Six years on the iPower Solutions manufacturing floor building tier-1 commercial, industrial, mining and utility switchboards. Three years underground at Lady Loretta installing 11kV ring main units, performing live HV switching with arc-flash PPE, and maintaining 5.8MW of power generation. End-to-end delivery of a greenfield open-cut gold mine in central Africa, including 12 months of design and international procurement. That depth backs every Queensland commercial switchboard project we deliver.

That breadth is the point. A specialist switchboard contractor has to read a single-line diagram, specify the right protection and Form rating, manage the Energex or Ergon supply authority, and stand behind the finished board, not just wire it up. Our director has done exactly that across tier-1 switchboard manufacturing, underground HV switching at Lady Loretta and the full electrical delivery of a greenfield mine, a depth of switchboard experience most Australian contractors never accumulate.

That experience is poured into every commercial and industrial board we deliver across Brisbane and Queensland, from a single distribution board to a 4000A main switchboard. It is also why we keep the scope tight. By working only on commercial and industrial switchboards, we stay current with AS/NZS 61439, supply authority requirements and the practical realities of working on live, occupied sites, rather than spreading thin across every kind of electrical job.

What does specialist switchboard depth actually change for a client? It changes the questions asked before a board is built. A specialist switchboard contractor checks the available fault level, confirms discrimination between protective devices, sizes the busbars for real continuous load rather than nameplate, and plans the shutdown around the people who use the building. Those details are invisible on a price but they are the difference between a board that runs cool and reliable for twenty years and one that becomes a maintenance and safety problem within five.

It also changes accountability. On a commercial or industrial site, a switchboard failure is not a tripped power point, it is lost trade, spoiled stock, an evacuated building or a stalled production line. Every board we build is documented, type-tested to AS/NZS 61439, and handed over with as-built drawings and a compliance pack that an insurer, an auditor or the next contractor can rely on, with one name standing behind it.

Most of our work comes from facility managers, property managers, builders and body corporate committees who have been let down by a generalist before. They do not want to manage an electrician, they want a specialist switchboard contractor who scopes the work properly, communicates clearly and delivers without drama. That is the standard Commercial Switchboards was built around, and the standard every project is held to.
