Electrical Removal and Installation Service in Sydney for Knox Grammar Science Labs Electical Fit Out
Lightspeed Electrical was contacted by BTF Projects to price a new electrical fit-out that would completely transform an existing facility. The scope of the project involved the full strip-out of the current head maintenance headquarters, which was no longer suitable for the evolving needs of the institution. In its place, the site would be reimagined as a suite of functional science laboratories designed specifically for student use.
The vision behind this transformation was to create a modern educational environment that supports hands-on learning, experimentation, and collaboration. To bring this to life, the electrical component had to be planned with careful attention to both utility and safety. The new layout would require not only standard electrical infrastructure such as lighting, power outlets, and data cabling, but also specialized provisions to support laboratory equipment, safety systems, and learning technologies.
From the outset, Lightspeed Electrical understood that this was more than just a basic fit-out. It was a full-scale redesign that needed to comply with educational facility standards, laboratory safety codes, and modern energy efficiency guidelines. Working alongside BTF Projects, Lightspeed provided detailed pricing based on the unique technical specifications of the labs and the functional goals of the client.
This early collaboration ensured the project would be approached with a clear understanding of cost, scope, and design intent. Lightspeed’s experience in educational and scientific environments positioned them well to contribute insights during the pricing phase—helping to shape a plan that was not only achievable, but highly effective in delivering on the needs of both students and staff. The result was a roadmap for an electrical fit-out that aligned with the broader vision of repurposing the site into a vibrant, functional academic space.
Knox Grammar Project
After supplying a competitive quote and submitting a full set of designed electrical documentation, Lightspeed Electrical was officially awarded the project. Our proposal demonstrated both cost efficiency and technical competence, aligning with the expectations of the client and the scope set out by BTF Projects. Once the contracts were finalized and all submitted documentation approved, we commenced work on-site without delay.
The project scope required the complete removal of over 150 light fixtures, including legacy fluorescent units and architectural fittings, as well as the disconnection and removal of three-phase outlets and numerous general power points. A full strip-out of all existing electrical cabling was carried out, preparing the space for the transition from a maintenance facility to a highly functional and modern educational laboratory environment.
During the installation phase, Lightspeed Electrical was responsible for running entirely new infrastructure—this included power circuits, data cabling, and precision lighting systems—each tailored to meet the unique demands of science laboratories used by students. All works were executed with meticulous attention to detail and full compliance with relevant safety and educational standards.
When an unexpected delay occurred with the original lighting order, Lightspeed Electrical acted promptly to secure an alternative supplier, ensuring that the project timeline remained on track. This proactive decision allowed the team to maintain momentum and deliver the job within the allocated schedule.
The project was completed on time, with all systems thoroughly tested and certified in accordance with Australian standards. The outcome provided Knox Grammar with a reliable, efficient, and future-ready electrical system, purpose-built to support modern scientific learning and instruction. The new labs are now equipped with infrastructure that reflects both innovation and functionality—offering a robust platform for education in the years to come.
