Electrical Design

Electrical design is an important element of the MEP design solution of a building. It covers power, lighting and many of the mechanical systems that service a building. Specifically in construction, electrical design involves:

• High voltage & low voltage electrical power distribution systems, including design of essential/emergency power (generator & UPS) systems
• Lighting (including artificial and emergency lighting) and lighting controls design
• IT, telecom, security and lightning protection design
• Electrical load calculations
• Riser and panel schedule design
• Lux level calculation and lighting design

What We Provide

XS CAD provides the following range of electrical design services:

• Electrical design and drawings for lighting and power
• Electrical schematic design and drawings
• Lighting and load calculations
• Design basis report
• Schedules and specifications

Design Stages We Cover

We provide comprehensive design support and electrical CAD drafting services for all stages of the design process, from concept, schematic, design development, tender to construction stages.

We provide drawings for all stages of the electrical design process, including:

• Concept
• Tender
• Contract

• Approval

Software We Use

For lighting design and particularly lux level calculations, we use DIALux and AGi32.
For power and load calculations, we use PowerCAD, AutoCAD or Revit to create electrical drawings. We also utilise the latest technology to communicate and share files using web-based online collaboration systems, such as BIM 360 Design, as well as sophisticated, web-based markup tools.
