Independent technical advisory for businesses planning, specifying, and managing electrical projects. Strategic guidance from an EIC approved contractor with over a decade of commercial and industrial experience.
Electrical projects within commercial and industrial environments carry significant financial and operational risk. Incorrect specifications, poorly managed contractors, and non-compliant installations can result in project delays, cost overruns, and ongoing safety liabilities. Oleco’s electrical consulting service exists to eliminate these risks.
We provide independent, expert technical advisory to facilities managers, architects, property developers, and project managers who need specialist electrical input — whether or not Oleco performs the physical installation. Our consulting team brings the same rigour and commercial awareness to advisory work as we apply to our own contracting projects.
Our electrical consultancy services are designed for organisations and professionals who require specialist technical guidance at any stage of a project. Typical clients include:
Oleco’s electrical consulting offering covers the full project lifecycle, from initial concept through to completion and handover. Each engagement is tailored to the specific requirements of the project and the client’s internal capabilities.
We develop detailed electrical specifications for new builds, refurbishments, and fit-outs. Where external designers or architects have produced electrical layouts, we provide independent design review to identify errors, inefficiencies, and compliance gaps before work begins. This early-stage intervention is where consulting delivers the greatest return — correcting a specification on paper costs a fraction of rectifying a completed installation.
Selecting the right electrical contractor is critical to project success. We assist with tender evaluation, contractor vetting, and ongoing site supervision to ensure the chosen contractor delivers to the required standard. Our team conducts regular site inspections, progress reviews, and quality assessments throughout the project duration.
UK electrical regulations are complex and subject to frequent updates. Our consultants provide clear, practical guidance on BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations), Building Regulations Part P, and sector-specific standards. We ensure your project is designed and delivered in full compliance, reducing the risk of enforcement action, insurance complications, or costly remedial work.
Accurate cost planning at the outset prevents budget overruns during delivery. We provide detailed cost estimates, value engineering recommendations, and ongoing budget tracking. Our commercial awareness ensures clients achieve the required standard without unnecessary expenditure.
For larger or more complex projects, Oleco provides full electrical project management. This includes programme development, coordination with other trades, resource planning, and stakeholder communication. We act as the single point of accountability for all electrical aspects of the project, ensuring seamless integration with the wider construction programme.
Unlike pure consultancy firms, Oleco is an active electrical contractor. This means our advisory work is grounded in current, hands-on experience of what works on site — not theoretical knowledge alone. We understand the practical realities of installation, the capabilities of the supply chain, and the true cost of delivering quality work.
As an EIC approved contractor established in 2014, we bring a track record of successful project delivery across hospitality, industrial, commercial, and specialist sectors. Our clients trust us because we provide honest, technically rigorous advice — even when that means challenging assumptions or recommending a different approach.
