Commercial electrical installations in Bogotá

We fit out offices, retail units and corporate buildings: power, lighting, structured cabling and access control. One team for the entire refurbishment.

The starting point

Offices change shape faster than their electrical installation does

An office is reconfigured every few years: a space is opened up, two meeting rooms are closed off, new equipment arrives, twenty more workstations are added. The architecture adapts quickly with glass partitions and furniture. The electrical installation does not. It is still the one designed for the previous layout, with outlets where there are no longer any desks and no capacity where the load is now concentrated.

The result is the workarounds everyone recognises: daisy-chained power strips, extension leads across the floor, a panel with no room left for one more breaker. It works until it does not, and in the meantime it is a risk no insurer covers gladly. A properly executed fit-out does not only solve the electrical problem: it is also the moment to put the data cabling in order, which is usually in worse shape than the electrical side.

Critical points

What gets checked in an office fit-out

In offices the applicable regulations are the general ones, but certain points get overlooked precisely because the space is perceived as low risk.

01

RETIE certification for the refurbished area, required after a fit-out.

02

Actual panel and service entrance capacity against the new load.

03

NTC 2050 compliance in conduit, protection devices and outlets.

04

Verified grounding, particularly in areas with computer equipment.

05

Lighting suited to the workstation, which also cuts consumption.

06

Point-to-point certification of any structured cabling installed.

Our scope

What we do in offices and retail units

Typically we are called in for a floor refurbishment, and the scope ends up covering the electrical work, the lighting, the network and the access control. It is the scenario where integrated contracting shows its advantage most clearly: one schedule, one point of coordination with building management and one warranty.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

Can you work while the office is occupied?
Yes. The work is scheduled zone by zone at agreed times, including nights or weekends when the operation cannot take interruptions during the week.
Is RETIE certification needed for an office refurbishment?
When the electrical installation is altered, yes. The certification covers the refurbished area and is what backs the company up with building management and with the insurer.
Do you also do the data network?
Yes. We are a Commscope NETCONNECT Partner and deliver structured cabling with point-to-point certification, in both copper and fibre optics.
