In Short
Commercial electrical work runs from the LT panel room to the last light fixture. Impulse Branding Solutions designs and installs it in-house across India: single-line diagrams, panel sizing, building wiring and cable tray routing, lighting and lux-level design, power and data provisioning, UPS and DG integration, earthing and sub-metering. The engineer who drew it supervises the installation.
Electrical rework after the false ceiling and flooring are closed is one of the most expensive mistakes available on a fit-out. A missed load calculation, a power point in the wrong place, or a cable tray that clashes with a duct run all cost far more to fix once the ceiling grid is in than they would have cost to resolve on a drawing. The usual cause is sequencing: the electrical contractor is appointed after the interior layout is frozen, prices what is drawn, and discovers the conflict on site. IBS runs electrical design and installation in-house and coordinates load calculations and point layouts before the ceiling and flooring trades start, not after. On a full fit-out the same project lead owns electrical alongside HVAC, plumbing, fire safety, and the civil works, which is why a clash between a cable tray and a duct run gets settled in a site meeting rather than becoming a change order.
What We Make
What does IBS's electrical scope cover?
India's peak power demand is expected to reach 277 GW in FY26, against an installed capacity of 523.79 GW as of December 2025, and the Central Electricity Authority projects a national requirement of 817 GW by 2030 (IBEF, 2026). Load per commercial floor plate has been rising with it, which is why panel sizing and distribution design carry more consequence on a fit-out today than they did a decade ago. Below is what each part of the IBS electrical scope covers.
General Contracting · Type 01
LT Panel Design & Installation
Distribution design from the incoming supply down to the final circuit, with panels sized against a calculated load rather than an assumed one.
- Single-line diagram: produced in-house by IBS electrical engineers as the basis for every downstream decision
- Panel hierarchy: main distribution boards, sub-distribution boards, and local distribution boards sized and located to the layout
- Switchgear specification: Schneider, Siemens, or Legrand switchgear specified at drawing stage and locked, not substituted at supply
- Load calculation: connected and diversified load calculated per zone rather than estimated from a per-square-foot rule
General Contracting · Type 02
Building Wiring & Cable Management
Wiring, containment, and routing executed to IS 732, with the route planned against the ceiling and services layout before other trades close it up.
- Concealed and surface wiring: to IS 732 code of practice for electrical wiring installations
- Cable tray routing: coordinated against duct runs and sprinkler layouts at drawing stage
- Fire-rated cabling: where the fire strategy or the authority specifies it for essential circuits
- Named cable brands: Polycab, Havells, or Finolex specified by title and confirmed at order
General Contracting · Type 03
Lighting & Lux-Level Design
Lighting designed to a calculated illuminance per space type rather than a fixture count copied from a previous project.
- Lux-level calculation by space type: general, task, accent, and emergency lighting calculated per area
- Fixture selection and installation: specified against the calculated level and the ceiling detail
- Emergency and egress lighting: coordinated with the fire strategy and egress route
- Circuit and control layout: switching, zoning, and occupancy control planned with the interior layout
General Contracting · Type 04
Power Points & Data Provisioning
Small power and data provisioning coordinated with the furniture and IT layouts, which is where most late-stage electrical rework originates.
- Workstation power and data: coordinated with the IT cabling layout to avoid clashes at the desk
- Floor boxes and service poles: positioned against the furniture layout before flooring is closed
- Dedicated circuits: for server rooms, pantry equipment, and specialist loads
General Contracting · Type 05
UPS, DG & Standby Power Integration
Standby and uninterrupted supply integrated as part of the distribution design rather than added afterwards as a separate contract.
- UPS sizing and installation: sized against the essential load schedule, not against the total connected load
- DG integration: change-over panel installation and coordination with the generator supplier
- Automatic transfer switching: ATS installation and functional testing as part of commissioning
General Contracting · Type 06
Earthing, Metering & Energy Monitoring
The parts of an electrical installation that are invisible at handover and decide how safe and how measurable the building is afterwards.
- Earthing: earth pits and equipotential bonding executed per IS code, with earth resistance measured and recorded
- Sub-metering: tenant, floor, or department-wise metering for cost allocation
- Energy monitoring provisions: metering points positioned to make consumption measurable by zone rather than only at the incomer
Specification
What codes and testing standards does IBS work to?
Electrical work is the one fit-out discipline where a shortcut is a safety issue rather than a quality issue. These are the codes IBS designs to and the tests carried out before any circuit is energised.
Design & compliance codes
- IS 732: code of practice for electrical wiring installations, the primary reference for building wiring
- CEA Regulations, 2010 and the Indian Electricity Rules: safety of electrical works and installations
- National Building Code (NBC) 2016: Part 4 for fire and life safety and Part 8 for building services
- Earthing to IS code: earth pit construction, conductor sizing, and equipotential bonding
Named material specification
- Switchgear: Schneider, Siemens, or Legrand, specified at GFC stage and not substituted without written approval
- Cabling: Polycab, Havells, or Finolex, specified by title rather than as generic copper
- Containment: cable tray, trunking, and conduit sized for the cable population with spare capacity stated
- Fire-rated cable: specified where the fire strategy requires circuit integrity to be maintained
Testing & certification before energisation
- Insulation resistance testing: on every circuit before energisation, not sampled
- Megger testing: results recorded per circuit and retained in the handover file
- Earth resistance measurement: measured and recorded at each earth pit
- Functional testing: ATS change-over, emergency lighting, and control systems tested under load
- Test certificates at handover: issued per discipline and forming part of the as-built record

How We Deliver
From brief to handover.
An electrical package runs ahead of the visible trades and is judged long after them. These are the stages IBS works through.
Load assessment and site survey
Existing supply, panel capacity, and incomer arrangement surveyed, and the client's connected load requirement established by zone rather than as a single building figure.
Single-line diagram and panel schedule
Distribution designed from incomer to final circuit, with panel hierarchy, cable sizes, and protection settings established and issued for approval.
Coordination with interior and other services
Point layouts, cable tray routes, and lighting positions coordinated against the ceiling, flooring, furniture, HVAC, and sprinkler layouts before any of those trades start.
Material specification and procurement
Switchgear, cabling, and containment specified by named brand at GFC stage and procured against that specification, with substitutions requiring written approval.
First-fix installation
Conduiting, containment, and cable pulling executed before ceiling and flooring close, with routes recorded for the as-built drawing set.
Second fix, testing, and energisation
Fixtures, accessories, and panels installed, then insulation resistance and megger testing carried out on every circuit and earth resistance measured before any circuit is energised.
Commissioning, documentation, and handover
Functional testing of transfer switching, emergency lighting, and controls, followed by issue of test certificates, panel schedules, and as-built drawings as part of the handover file.
Why Buyers Choose IBS
Built in-house. Owned outright.
Electrical work is bought on rate more often than on competence, and the difference shows up either at commissioning or eighteen months later. These are the parts of the IBS model that determine which.
01
Design and installation are the same company
IBS electrical engineers produce the single-line diagram and size the panels and cabling, and IBS electricians install it. There is no gap between the person who drew the distribution and the person pulling the cable, which is where most on-site interpretation errors originate.
02
Sequenced before the ceiling and flooring close
Load calculations and point layouts are coordinated before the false ceiling and flooring trades start. Electrical rework after those trades are closed is one of the most expensive corrections available on a fit-out, and it is almost always a sequencing failure rather than a technical one.
03
Named components, locked at GFC
Switchgear and cabling brands are specified at Good For Construction stage and confirmed at order rather than left open for substitution on supply. Generic "reputed make" specifications are what allow the cheapest available product to arrive on site.
04
Testing is standard scope, not a billed extra
Insulation resistance and megger testing on every circuit, earth resistance measurement at each pit, and functional testing of transfer switching are part of the scope rather than an add-on quoted separately. Test certificates are issued at handover as part of the as-built record.
05
Standalone electrical, or integrated with the fit-out
Electrical can be taken as a standalone package where a civil contractor or fit-out vendor is already appointed. On a full IBS fit-out, electrical sits under the same project lead as HVAC, plumbing, fire safety, and civil works, so a cable tray clashing with a duct run is settled on site rather than escalated between contractors.
How does in-house electrical work compare with a subcontracted electrical package?
Electrical is the discipline most commonly subcontracted on a fit-out, and the consequences are predictable: a specification that drifts on supply, a layout resolved on site, and testing that gets compressed when the programme tightens. Here is how that compares with running it in-house.
| Typical Subcontracted Approach | IBS Integrated Approach | |
|---|---|---|
| Who designs the distribution | A consultant draws it, a subcontractor prices it, and a third party installs it, with each interpreting the last | IBS electrical engineers produce the single-line diagram and IBS electricians install it |
| Load calculation | Estimated from a per-square-foot rule of thumb, discovered as inadequate when equipment is commissioned | Connected and diversified load calculated per zone before panels are sized |
| Component brands | Specified as 'reputed make', which permits the cheapest available product on supply | Schneider, Siemens, or Legrand switchgear and Polycab, Havells, or Finolex cabling, locked at GFC |
| When electrical is coordinated | Priced after the interior layout is frozen, so clashes surface once the ceiling grid is installed | Load calculations and point layouts coordinated before ceiling and flooring trades start |
| Testing before energisation | Sampled or compressed when the programme tightens, and billed as an additional item | Insulation resistance and megger testing on every circuit, earth resistance measured per pit, included in scope |
| Resolving a clash with another service | Escalated between the electrical and HVAC contractors as a change-order dispute | Electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and fire safety report to the same project lead |
Sectors We Serve
Where this work lands.
Electrical requirements diverge sharply by building type, mostly around standby power, essential-load definition, and metering.
Corporate Offices & GCCs
Dense floor plates with high workstation counts, UPS-backed essential circuits, and department-wise sub-metering for cost allocation.
See corporate office projects
BFSI Branches & Back Offices
Branch networks requiring an identical electrical specification at every site, with standby provisioning for critical systems and secure areas.
See BFSI projects
Retail & Showrooms
Display and accent lighting loads well above general office levels, with circuit design built around merchandising layouts that change.
See retail projects
Healthcare Facilities
Essential-load definition that distinguishes clinical from general circuits, with standby power and earthing detailed to the criticality of each area.
See healthcare projects
Education & Institutional Campuses
Laboratory and workshop loads including three-phase provisioning, with distribution sized for equipment that arrives after handover.
See education projectsCommercials
How is an electrical package scoped and priced?
Electrical is quoted against a load assessment and a point schedule rather than against floor area. IBS does not publish per-point or per-square-foot rates, because the same area can carry very different distribution depending on load density, standby requirement, and metering granularity.
What a quotation covers3 clauses
What an electrical quotation covers
A load assessment and site survey, single-line diagram and panel schedule, coordination with the interior and other services, named material specification, first and second fix installation, insulation resistance and megger testing on every circuit, earth resistance measurement, functional testing, and the handover documentation file including test certificates and as-built drawings.
What moves the number
Connected load and its density per zone, the extent of UPS and DG backed essential load, metering granularity, whether existing distribution is retained or replaced, the fire strategy's requirement for fire-rated cabling, and whether the work runs alongside a live occupied floor.
What sits outside the scope
Utility connection charges and statutory approval fees, supply of the DG set itself, and any works on the utility side of the incomer, which remain with the supply authority and the client's own vendors.
| Discipline | Term |
|---|---|
| Electrical installation workmanship | typically twelve months from handover |
| Switchgear and panels | manufacturer warranty passed through on Schneider, Siemens, or Legrand equipment |
| Cabling | manufacturer warranty passed through on Polycab, Havells, or Finolex cable |
| Light fittings | manufacturer warranty passed through on specified fixtures |
| Stage | Terms |
|---|---|
| Advance against Purchase Order | Mobilises procurement of switchgear, cabling, and containment against the approved specification. |
| On completion of first fix | Payable when conduiting, containment, and cable pulling are complete and recorded, before ceiling and flooring close. |
| On completion of second fix | Payable when panels, fixtures, and accessories are installed and ready for testing. |
| On testing, commissioning, and handover | Released on completion of insulation resistance and megger testing, functional testing, and submission of test certificates and as-built drawings. |
No charge, no obligation
Request a Site Survey Site survey
A site survey and load assessment is carried out before quotation on any project involving existing distribution. Assumed panel capacity is the most common source of variation on an electrical package, because an incomer that looks adequate on a drawing is frequently already loaded by services nobody documented.
Share the floor plate, the load requirement, and whether the space is live, and IBS will respond with a scoped electrical proposal.
Questions
Everything procurement heads, project managers, and admin teams ask before commissioning
These are the questions project managers, facility heads, and procurement teams most often raise when scoping an electrical package.
Scope & Handover
Is testing included or billed separately?
Included. Insulation resistance and megger testing on every circuit, earth resistance measurement at each pit, and functional testing of transfer switching and emergency lighting are part of the scope rather than an add-on. Test certificates are issued at handover and form part of the as-built record.
What documentation is provided at handover?
Test certificates for insulation resistance, megger, and earth resistance results, panel schedules, and as-built drawings showing final routes and circuit allocation. Documentation is compiled as the work proceeds rather than reconstructed afterwards, since as-built routes recorded from memory are the usual cause of a difficult first maintenance visit.
Technical
Can IBS take electrical works without the rest of the fit-out?
Yes. Electrical can be engaged as a standalone package where a civil contractor or fit-out vendor is already appointed, in the same way IBS takes MEP-only packages. The design, specification, testing, and documentation method is identical whether it runs standalone or as part of a full turnkey fit-out.
What codes does IBS design and install to?
IS 732 is the primary reference for building wiring installations, the Central Electricity Authority Regulations 2010 and the Indian Electricity Rules govern safety of the works, and NBC 2016 Part 4 for fire and life safety and Part 8 for building services apply to the design. Earthing is executed to the relevant IS code with earth resistance measured and recorded.
Why does electrical need to be coordinated before the ceiling goes in?
Because correcting it afterwards means opening finished work. A missed load calculation, a badly placed power point, or a cable tray clashing with a duct run costs far more to resolve once the ceiling grid and flooring are closed than it would have cost on a drawing. IBS coordinates load calculations and point layouts before those trades start.
Which switchgear and cable brands does IBS specify?
Schneider, Siemens, or Legrand for switchgear, and Polycab, Havells, or Finolex for cabling. Brands are specified at Good For Construction stage and confirmed at order. Substitution requires written client approval, which is the point of naming them rather than writing "reputed make".
How is UPS capacity decided?
Against an essential load schedule rather than the total connected load. Sizing a UPS against everything on the floor is how clients end up paying for capacity they will never draw, and defining essential load properly is a design conversation held at the single-line diagram stage rather than at procurement.
Does IBS supply the DG set?
No. Supply of the generator itself sits with the client or their equipment vendor. IBS handles integration: change-over panel installation, automatic transfer switching, cabling, and functional testing of the change-over under load.
Can IBS work on an occupied floor?
Yes. Work on live floors is sequenced around occupancy, with isolations planned and agreed in advance and any shutdown scheduled outside working hours where the client requires it. The programme and the price both reflect that, because a live floor materially changes how the work is staged.
What is sub-metering and why specify it at fit-out stage?
Sub-metering places measurement points at floor, tenant, or department level so consumption is attributable rather than visible only at the building incomer. It is far cheaper to install as part of the original distribution than to retrofit later, and it is the prerequisite for any meaningful energy management afterwards.
How is lighting designed?
To a calculated illuminance per space type rather than a fixture count copied from a previous project. General, task, accent, and emergency levels are calculated by area, and fixture selection follows the calculation and the ceiling detail. Emergency and egress lighting is coordinated with the fire strategy.
Does IBS handle fire-rated cabling?
Yes, where the fire strategy or the authority requires circuit integrity to be maintained during a fire. Fire-rated cable is specified explicitly at drawing stage rather than assumed, because it is materially more expensive than standard cable and applying it indiscriminately inflates the package.
Does IBS deliver electrical works outside Mumbai?
Yes. IBS delivers pan-India, with project teams mobilised from Mumbai. On multi-site programmes such as branch networks, the value of central coordination is that the specification and the testing regime are identical at every site rather than reinterpreted by a different local contractor per city.
What happens if the existing panel capacity is inadequate?
It is identified at the load assessment before quotation rather than at installation. Assumed panel capacity is the single most common source of variation on an electrical package, because an incomer that looks adequate on a drawing is often already loaded by services nobody documented. Where capacity is short, the options and their cost implications are set out before work starts.
How does electrical coordinate with the IT cabling contractor?
Point layouts are coordinated with the IT cabling layout at drawing stage so power and data provisions land together at the workstation. Where a client's own IT vendor holds the data scope, IBS coordinates directly with them on containment sharing and point positions rather than installing to a separate layout and reconciling later.
Is earthing tested or just installed?
Tested. Earth resistance is measured at each earth pit and the result recorded in the handover file. Earthing is the part of an installation that is invisible at handover and consequential afterwards, which is exactly why it is measured rather than assumed to be adequate.
