In July 2026, the business asked us to handle the electrical installation at his office unit at Commerze @ Irving, 1 Irving Place, Singapore. The unit had been handed over as a bare shell, with no proper lighting and no power points where he needed them, and he wanted it ready for daily use. The big challenge was the 5.6-metre ceiling, which meant scaffolding for safe access to fit the hanging light. Building management also required pre-approved paperwork and limited work to set hours so other tenants were not disturbed.
The Challenge
The unit at 1 Irving Place #01-14 came with no real lighting and no power points, which made it hard to set up workstations and equipment. The 5.6-metre ceiling ruled out the usual install methods and raised real access and safety concerns. Building rules added more: all work needed pre-approved documentation and could only happen during certain hours to keep disruption to neighbouring tenants down. Until the electrical side was sorted, the space simply could not be used for proper office work.
Solution
We did a site assessment to confirm the load needs, cable routing, and the best spots for the light, power point, and switch. Scaffolding went up to give us safe access at the 5.6-metre ceiling. We prepared and submitted all the building management paperwork ahead of time, and scheduled the work within the approved hours.
What we delivered:
- A hanging light fixture installed at the 5.6-metre ceiling height using scaffolding.
- A double power point fitted in a handy spot for workstation access.
- A light switch added for easy control of the new fixture.
- Load and routing confirmed for a safe electrical supply.
- Full testing and commissioning of everything installed.
Key Results and Outcomes
We got all the electrical work done in a single day, leaving the office ready for the business to use straight away.
Key results:
- The hanging light went in cleanly at 5.6 metres, lighting the workspace properly.
- The double power point removed the need for extension cables and made the space safer.
- All work fit within building management's approved schedule, with no disruption to other tenants.
- Building regulations and electrical safety standards were met throughout.
Conclusion
The Commerze @ Irving job shows we can deliver commercial installs even with awkward access and strict building management rules. Through proper planning, scaffolding, and coordination with management, we turned a bare unit into a working office with proper lighting and power. As a licensed electrical contractor in Singapore, we keep delivering safe, compliant, efficient work for commercial tenants getting their spaces ready.
