Lighting & Electrical - Architectural Lighting Project (Supply and Installation)

Capture requirements, conduct a site survey, and confirm lux level targets, programme, and budget range.

Develop the luminaire schedule, price fixtures and installation labour, confirm regulatory compliance, and issue to the client.

Obtain written approval covering the luminaire schedule, scope, programme, and payment terms. Raise the contract or order confirmation.

Place purchase orders for all luminaires and control gear. Track delivery dates against programme and flag lead time risks early.

Check deliveries against purchase orders. Inspect for transit damage. Store by zone and raise any discrepancies before installation begins.

Complete first-fix cabling in sequence with other trades. Record any site instructions that change scope and issue variation notices before proceeding.

Test each circuit against the specification. Measure lux levels with a calibrated meter. Complete and certify emergency lighting records on digital forms.

Issue the as-installed luminaire schedule, test certificates, and operating manuals. Raise the final invoice and confirm the defects liability period.

Decorative fixtures from three different manufacturers arrive across a two-week window with no pre-notification, and without a delivery log we cannot confirm whether the missing pendants in Zone 2 are delayed or simply never ordered.

The client requests a fixture substitution across the main reception after purchase orders have already been placed, communicates the change verbally, and later disputes the restocking charge because there is no written record of the instruction.

Commissioning records and emergency lighting test certificates are completed on paper on site, and by the time the handover pack is assembled, two certificates are missing and cannot be reproduced without returning to site.
