I'm an owner-builder building in Coomera — can you do my electrical?

Yes. FitElec works with owner-builders in Coomera and across the northern Gold Coast. All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrical contractor regardless of whether the owner is a licensed builder — Queensland law does not allow owner-builders to do their own wiring. FitElec provides a Certificate of Compliance Electrical Work on completion, which is required for your building certificate.

Can I add solar pre-wiring when building a new home in Coomera?

Yes, and it is strongly recommended. Adding the solar conduit, inverter location wiring and battery pre-wiring during the rough-in stage costs a fraction of what a retrofit costs later. Jayson includes solar conduit as a standard inclusion in new home electrical packages, or as a separately priced addition if you want to specify the exact future system location.

My Coomera home is about 20 years old. How do I know if the switchboard needs upgrading?

Signs include: the board has ceramic fuses rather than circuit breakers, there are no RCD safety switch labels on the board, circuits are frequently tripping, or you want to add a new air conditioning unit or EV charger and there are no spare positions. FitElec offers a switchboard assessment — Jayson inspects the board, tests the existing RCDs (if any) and provides a written recommendation with options.

Electrician Coomera | New Homes & Builders | FitElec

Builder and owner-builder electrician for Coomera's growing residential corridors.

Coomera has been one of the Gold Coast's fastest-growing residential areas for the past two decades. Originally a mix of rural land and small older estates, the suburb has been progressively subdivided into new residential estates — first the earlier established developments from the 1990s and 2000s, and more recently the newer land releases of the 2010s. This layered development means Coomera has two distinct electrical markets: the established homes from earlier releases that are now old enough for switchboard upgrades, solar installations and renovation work; and the ongoing new home construction market where builders and owner-builders need a reliable electrical contractor to work to a construction programme. FitElec services both. Jayson holds Queensland Electrical Contractor Licence #1505994 and is experienced working with both licensed builders and owner-builders in the Coomera and northern Gold Coast area.

Coomera's construction boom has slowed somewhat as available land closer to the highway has been developed, but new home builds remain a significant part of the suburb's electrical demand. At the same time, homes built in the first wave of Coomera development in the late 1990s and 2000s are now hitting the switchboard upgrade stage — 20 to 25-year-old boards that were spec'd for a 1990s household are now supporting air conditioning, home offices, solar and EV chargers. FitElec handles both the new build and the upgrade market across Coomera.

Electrical services in Coomera

New home electrical fit-out — FitElec provides complete electrical fit-outs for new homes in Coomera — from the initial service application to Energex through rough-in, meter board installation, fit-off and final inspection. Jayson works to the builder's construction programme and provides stage pricing so builders and owner-builders can budget each phase accurately.
Owner-builder electrical — Owner-builders in Coomera need a licensed electrical contractor to perform and certify all electrical work — Queensland law prohibits owner-builders from doing their own electrical. FitElec has experience working with owner-builders, understanding the different pace and flexibility requirements compared to volume builder projects.
Solar and battery pre-wiring — Including solar and battery conduit at the rough-in stage of a Coomera new build costs significantly less than retrofitting later. FitElec includes solar conduit, inverter location allowance and battery pre-wiring at the rough-in stage — so when the owner wants to add solar, the infrastructure is already in place.
Switchboard upgrades in established homes — Coomera homes from the late 1990s and 2000s are now due for switchboard attention. Original boards in this era commonly have single-pole breakers, no RCD protection on power circuits, and no spare capacity for new loads. FitElec upgrades these boards with modern switchboards, RCDs on all circuits and capacity for solar, EV and additional air conditioning.
Air conditioning electrical — New split systems in Coomera homes need dedicated circuits — particularly when multiple units are being added during a renovation or at initial construction. FitElec installs the circuit, outdoor isolator and appropriate protection for each unit, and is available to co-ordinate with your refrigerant installer for a smooth installation.
Fault finding and repairs — Both new and established Coomera homes experience electrical faults — nuisance tripping, dead outlets and wiring faults from construction damage or wear. FitElec diagnoses faults at the circuit level and repairs the root cause, with same-day availability for urgent issues in the Coomera area.

Why Gold Coast locals choose FitElec

Builder-ready scheduling — Coomera builders need trades that show up when the programme says to. FitElec commits to a construction schedule and attends at the agreed stage — rough-in when the frame is up, main board when the brickwork is done, fit-off when plastering is complete. If the programme shifts, Jayson is reachable directly to reschedule without going through a booking system.
Fixed-price stage billing — For new home electrical in Coomera, FitElec provides fixed-price stage billing — a set price for rough-in, a set price for fit-off, and so on. No hourly rate surprises and no scope creep billing. If the builder adds scope, it is quoted separately before the work is done.
Licence covers all electrical work — Queensland Electrical Contractor Licence #1505994 covers all categories of residential and commercial electrical work — including the service connections, solar installations and battery storage that Coomera's growing homes increasingly require. One contractor, one licence, one Certificate of Compliance for the whole electrical installation.
