Electrical design (EPLAN & AutoCAD)

From what the panel needs to do, to drawings we can build from.

Not every customer arrives with finished drawings. You might know what the machine or plant needs to do, but not exactly what should go in the panel. We can take it from there and complete the electrical design on your behalf in EPLAN or AutoCAD Electrical.

We design the schematics and panel layout, select and specify the components, enclosure and cables, and produce a bill of materials ready to order. Then we build and test the panel to that design, so one team is responsible for it from start to finish.

You keep the drawings. At the end of the job you receive the native design files and PDFs, so you have everything you need for maintenance and future changes. We focus on the electrical hardware and don’t write PLC software, so we stay on your side of the job.

FAQs

Common questions about our panel building.

If your question isn’t here, give us a call or send a quick message and we’ll come straight back to you.

Which design software do you use?

We design in EPLAN or AutoCAD Electrical, so we can match the platform your team or your customer already uses.

Will we own the drawings?

Yes. At the end of the job you receive the native design files and PDFs, so the drawings stay with you for maintenance and future changes.

Do you write PLC software?

No. We focus on the electrical hardware: design, build and test. That keeps us on your side of the job and never in competition with you for your customer’s automation work.

What do you need from us to start a design?

A description of what the panel needs to do, the equipment it controls or feeds, the supply available on site and any standards or customer specifications it must meet. We will take it from there and come back with any questions.
