high-quality electrical design for renovations, extensions and bespoke new-build homes.
For architects, our approach focuses on early coordination, clear documentation and reliable design support.
Our Approach.
Architect-Aligned
We structure our work around the architectural RIBA stages and drawing packages, ensuring our information is easily incorporated into your plans. Coordination, clarity and compatibility are central to how we deliver.
Technical Precision
Every layout, circuit schedule and design note is produced to a professional standard, aligned with BS 7671, Building Regulations and best-practice residential design.
Transparent & Collaborative
We believe the best outcomes come from open communication. We work closely with project teams, providing timely responses and technical clarity throughout the design and construction process.
Responsive Partnership
We remain actively engaged throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring smooth coordination with architects, designers and contractors.

We discuss project goals, scope and early electrical considerations with architects and clients.
This ensures we understand the brief, constraints and desired outcomes from the outset.
2. Concept Coordination
We provide early-stage input on lighting, power strategy and feasibility to support architectural development.
This helps identify issues early and aligns electrical design with the architectural intent.
4. Construction Support
We remain available during construction to answer queries and provide technical clarification.
This reduces delays on-site and helps ensure the installation aligns with the design intent.

Our Story
Cambridge Electrical Design was created to fill a gap in the residential sector:
Architects needed clear, reliable electrical design delivered at a professional standard.
Contractors and electricians often design too late in the process.
Large engineering firms don’t take on domestic-scale work.
This leaves architects and clients without the drawings, documentation and technical support they need.
Our practice exists to solve that problem — providing a dedicated electrical design service that matches the quality and rigour of the wider architectural project.

Electrical layouts and documentation that integrate cleanly with architectural plans.
2. Accurate Documentation
