Professional engineering-grade design for commercial & industrial projects

Most electrical contractors can install. Very few can design. At Enlighten, we offer a full electrical design and calculation service normally associated with much larger engineering firms — giving commercial and industrial clients access to a deeper level of technical expertise, without the cost or inflexibility of a consultancy.

With one of our directors formally educated in Building Services Engineering, we combine practical site experience with professional design capability, producing detailed layouts, load assessments, calculations, and technical documentation that meet the highest standards of accuracy and compliance.

Why Our Design Capability Sets Us Apart

✔ A rare offering for a contractor of our size

Most SMEs rely entirely on external consultants or basic rule-of-thumb planning. Enlighten can design in-house, allowing projects to run faster, smoother and with fewer variations.

✔ Full digital design using professional software

We use tools typically found in major engineering practices, including:

• AutoCAD – for electrical layouts, containment routes and schematics
• Revit – for coordinated BIM models and federated building designs
• Trimble ProDesign – for full electrical calculations, discrimination studies, protective device selection, Zs checks and cable sizing

This gives clients reliable, verifiable designs that stand up to audit, compliance and long-term operational needs.

✔ Engineer-led, not “drawn-up” after the fact

Our designs are created by hands-on engineers who understand real-world installation constraints — not by off-site designers who never see the building. That means your design is practical, buildable and cost-effective from day one.
