Precise Property

Electrical and civil infrastructure upgrade
  • Location: Cromer, NSW
  • Client: Precise Property
  • Scope: Electrical infrastructure upgrade
  • Delivery: Two-day weekend shutdown
  • Outcome: Delivered safely, on time and on budget

The Cromer project was an electrical and civil infrastructure upgrade delivered by DM Electrical for Precise Property, replacing the incoming consumer mains and end-of-life main switchboard. DM Electrical installed new 800A underground consumer mains from the local Ausgrid substation and a custom-built switchboard, completing all civil and electrical works during a planned two-day weekend shutdown.

Consumer mains and civil works

The project involved installing new 800A underground consumer mains from the local Ausgrid substation, along with the design, construction, and installation of a custom-built main switchboard to improve reliability, compliance, and capacity for the site. The new consumer mains were installed beneath the roadway, with all civil excavation, conduit installation, cable hauling, reinstatement, and electrical works completed by DM Electrical.

As part of the upgrade, all existing metering was relocated from a nearby room and incorporated into the new switchboard arrangement.

Ausgrid coordination

A key component was the coordination and connection works with the local Ausgrid substation. DM Electrical worked closely with Ausgrid through the planning and delivery phases to coordinate outages, approvals, network connections, and final energisation, giving a clean transition to the upgraded infrastructure.

To connect the existing building submains, DM Electrical installed three 400A link boxes, extending the existing distribution network onto the new system.

Delivery

To limit disruption to residents and building operations, the works were planned and delivered during a scheduled two-day weekend shutdown. Through detailed planning, stakeholder communication, and close coordination with Ausgrid, the project was completed safely, on time, and within budget, giving the client modern, reliable electrical infrastructure.

    We had a power outage across half our office and couldn't find the issue. DM sent an experienced electrician who solved it within 20 minutes. Extremely professional, clean and efficient. We can't recommend Dan and the team highly enough.
