Access dictates the method
Trading hours, shift patterns, tenant notice and permit systems change how a job is executed far more than the technical scope usually does.
Commercial Sectors
Commercial Electrical Sectors GridGuys Covers
Electrical work is bought differently depending on who is buying it. A facilities manager, a managing agent, a plant engineer and a store operations team can all need the same technical scope and still need it delivered on completely different terms.
GridGuys is a commercial electrical lead-connect platform. We do not carry out electrical work. These sector pages set out how enquiries typically arise in each environment and what to include so the enquiry reaches a contractor set up for that kind of work.

Why it matters
Why sector matters when you enquire
Different people sign it off
An owner, an occupier, an agent or a head office may hold the instruction, and each has a different approval and budget route.
Records are used differently
Certificates and reports may feed a compliance file, a CAFM system, a service charge or a sale, which affects what should be asked for at the outset.
Scale changes the answer
One building, an estate and a national store list are all valid enquiries, but they suit different contractors and different phasing.
Not sure which applies to you?
Describe the premises and the works in your own words. GridGuys will review the enquiry and pass it to an electrical contractor suited to that type of site.
GridGuys connects commercial electrical enquiries with contractors. We do not carry out electrical work ourselves — see how it works.
