SERVICE OVERVIEW
Service Overview
Electrical and lighting planning should happen early enough to support the room layout, furniture, appliances and equipment—not after finishes are complete. A renovation may involve new or relocated points, lighting changes, switching, circuit considerations and coordination with ceilings or carpentry. In Singapore, electrical work must be carried out or supervised by an EMA Licensed Electrical Worker of the appropriate class. Our renovation content therefore treats electrical work as a coordinated specialist scope, not a casual add-on.
SCOPE
What This Service Can Cover
The final scope is confirmed after reviewing the property, existing conditions and the work required.

Accent Lighting
Use feature lighting selectively for shelves, walls or architectural details.
Switch Planning
Position controls logically near entrances, beds, work areas or other relevant locations.

PROPERTY TYPES
Designed for Different Property Types
PLANNING
What We Check Before Work Begins
- Existing electrical installation and available information
- Final furniture/appliance/equipment layout
- Lighting intent and fixture types
- Socket and switch locations
- Ceiling and carpentry interfaces
- Wet-area requirements where relevant
- Appropriate LEW involvement
- Testing, certification or installation-licence requirements where applicable
Final checks depend on the property, proposed work and information available during assessment. Relevant requirements are confirmed before work starts.
QUOTATION
What Affects the Scope & Quotation
A clear quotation starts with the actual site and an agreed scope. Key factors can include:
- Number/type of points and fixtures
- New, relocated or replacement work
- Access to wiring routes and ceiling conditions
- Switching/control complexity
- Fixture supply versus installation-only scope
- Testing and licensed-worker requirements
- Commercial installation requirements where applicable
- Coordination with ceiling, carpentry and finishing works

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Who should carry out electrical work in Singapore?
EMA states that electrical work must be carried out or supervised by a Licensed Electrical Worker of the appropriate class.
Can I add or relocate power points during renovation?
This can be assessed as part of the electrical scope. The Licensed Electrical Worker should determine the appropriate method based on the existing installation and requirements.
Should lighting be planned before the ceiling is completed?
Yes. Lighting locations and fixture requirements can affect ceiling, wiring and access, so early coordination reduces rework.
Can lighting be integrated with carpentry?
Yes, provided access, heat, wiring and maintenance considerations are addressed and the electrical work is handled appropriately.
Do commercial premises have different electrical requirements?
Potentially. EMA licensing requirements apply to certain non-domestic installations depending on factors such as approved load and use.
What information helps with a quotation?
Floor plan, photos, desired point/fixture locations, equipment requirements and existing electrical information where available.
