Electrical design that respects the build

Support before the drawings become expensive to change

JDH helps developers and architects plan electrical and renewable energy infrastructure at the right stage. The aim is to protect the programme, reduce rework and make sure the finished property is safe, serviceable and ready for modern demand.

1
Design input

Advice on electrical layouts, consumer unit positions, service routes, external supplies, EV charging and renewable-ready infrastructure.

2
Site coordination

Works planned around trades, build stages, access, inspection points and the practical realities of live construction sites.

3
Clean handover

Testing, certification, commissioning records and clear documentation for homeowners, managers and building control routes.

What JDH supports

Electrical and renewable systems across the whole development

From a single bespoke home to a phased development, JDH can support the core electrical installation and the technologies that now sit around it.

01

New build homes

Electrical installations for individual plots, extensions, refurbishments and bespoke residential projects.

02

Developments and phases

Consistent electrical delivery across plots, phases and site programmes with clear communication.

03

Architect support

Practical input on layouts, equipment positions, plant space, cable routes and future serviceability.

04

Solar PV readiness

Roof space, cable routes, inverter positions and consumer unit capacity considered early.

05

EV charging infrastructure

Charge point routes, supply capacity and parking arrangements considered in line with project requirements.

06

External and communal areas

Lighting, power, outbuildings, gates, paths, parking areas and shared infrastructure planned properly.

Design and compliance considerations

Modern homes need more than sockets and switches

New homes now carry heavier electrical expectations: EV charging, solar PV, battery storage, garden rooms, heat pumps, smart controls and more connected living. JDH helps bring those requirements into the electrical design without losing sight of safety, budget or buildability.

Key planning questions

Early electrical input helps the design team make better decisions before walls close, routes disappear or service positions become awkward.

  • Where should consumer units, isolators, inverters and controls sit?
  • How will cable routes work across plots, garages, outbuildings and plant areas?
  • What future demand should be allowed for from EV charging, solar PV and storage?
  • What documentation will be needed at handover and for building control routes?

Regulation-aware support

JDH can support electrical work that needs to sit alongside Building Regulations, BS 7671 requirements, Part P considerations for dwellings and EV charging infrastructure requirements where they apply.

  • Electrical installation, inspection, testing and certification.
  • EV charging and cable route planning for new homes and parking areas.
  • Solar PV and battery storage infrastructure considered before final finishes.
  • Clear records that help the project move cleanly from site work to occupation.

Site infrastructure

Keep the electrical work aligned with the programme

Electrical installation has to land cleanly around other trades. JDH works with the build sequence, identifying what needs to happen early, what can wait, and what must be protected for inspection, testing and final handover.

A
First fix and routes

Practical planning for cable routes, containment, boxes, equipment positions and future access.

B
Second fix and commissioning

Final equipment, testing, fault resolution and certification handled with the end user in mind.

C
External works

Lighting, power, EV charging, garages, outbuildings and shared areas planned as part of the wider installation.

Project route

From design conversation to handover pack

Review

Plans, site requirements, plot types and future technologies are reviewed before the electrical route is fixed.

Design

Layouts, capacity, service routes and renewable-ready details are shaped around the build.

Coordinate

JDH works around build stages, other trades, access and agreed inspection or completion points.

Install

Electrical and renewable infrastructure is installed with disciplined workmanship and clear communication.

Handover

Testing, certification, commissioning notes and any future recommendations are provided clearly.

Renewable-ready homes

Build in capacity for how people actually live now

Solar PV, battery storage and EV charging are easier to support when the electrical design allows for them early. JDH can help avoid the common problem of treating renewables as an afterthought once the property is already finished.

1
Solar PV and battery routes

Plan cable paths, inverter locations and consumer unit capacity before finishes restrict access.

2
EV charging

Consider parking positions, cable runs, load requirements and future charger installation from the outset.

3
Long-term serviceability

Leave installations understandable, accessible and easier to maintain after occupation.

Common project questions

Developers & Architects FAQs

The earlier the better. Early input can help with consumer unit positions, cable routes, EV charging, solar PV, battery storage, external supplies and the practical details that become difficult once construction is further along.
Yes. JDH can review drawings and discuss the electrical approach, then support installation once scope, specification and site requirements are agreed.
Yes. JDH can consider solar PV, battery storage and EV charging infrastructure as part of the wider electrical design, rather than treating them as separate afterthoughts.
Yes. Testing, certification and relevant handover information can be provided so the property owner, developer, building control route or managing agent has a clear record of the electrical work.
