Building and commercial electrical design

Coordinated before construction, not during it.

Building electrical design is where construction rework most often appears: openings in the wrong place, conduits that do not fit and undersized panels discovered at handover.

The cause is almost always the same: electrical design was produced without coordination with plumbing and structural systems. The conflict existed on paper and no one noticed.

We coordinate it beforehand.

What we design

  • Electrical systems for buildings, commercial spaces and high-end residences
  • SPDA and grounding
  • Lighting design
  • Coordination with other disciplines
  • Building electrical-system inspection
  • Retrofit of older installations
  • Temporary construction-site electrical installations under NR-18

Retrofit

Buildings from the 1980s and 1990s were designed for loads that no longer exist. Today every unit may have air conditioning, the garage may have EV chargers, and showers may draw more power, all supplied through an entrance sized for another era.

We survey the real load, report nonconformities and prepare a phased upgrade design so the condominium can approve and execute the work without shutting down the building.

Featured topic

Construction site

A construction site has its own temporary electrical installation, inspected like any other. NR-18 requires a design for temporary installations, suitable distribution boards, grounding and protection against electric shock in an environment that changes every week.

This is among the most frequent causes of citations and work stoppages because the installation begins improvised and expands with the project.

We design the temporary site installation and issue the NR-18 compliance report. For builders operating several sites, we provide contract service for each project.

03

Proposal

We send a proposal stating inclusions, exclusions, price and schedule.

04

Delivery

We deliver with the ART issued.

Who signs

IDENTIFIED TECHNICAL RESPONSIBILITY.

Every project and technical report issued by Maccari is signed by a qualified professional registered with the appropriate professional council, with an ART or TRT duly filed. You know who is technically accountable before hiring us and after delivery.

The technical team includes electrical engineers, occupational safety engineers and electrotechnical technicians, with consolidated experience in 15, 25 and 35 kV networks.

Every stage has a designated technical professional

From survey to commissioning, responsibility is registered in the name of the professional who performed the work.

Frequently asked questions

DIRECT ANSWERS.

Yes. We work throughout Brazil and have delivered projects in RS, SC, PR, SP, MS and MG. Travel is itemized in the proposal.
Yes. Every project and report includes an ART issued in the responsible engineer’s name.
Most reports are delivered within 10 business days after inspection. Industrial facility projects take 10 to 20 business days depending on capacity, and network projects take 20 to 35 depending on the number of lots. The PIE takes 30 business days, while a power quality report takes 15 to 20 because it includes the seven-day PRODIST measurement campaign. Every proposal includes a firm delivery date.
Yes, if you want us to. The construction quote is presented later and separately from the design or report. You remain free to hire any contractor.
