Commercial Expertise

Built for fit-outs, retail rollouts, and multi-site programmes.

For over 20 years, we've worked with main contractors, fit-out companies, and corporate clients on the electrical and data infrastructure behind their commercial spaces.

That includes office fit-outs in Auckland and retail rollouts the length of the country, alongside the structured cabling for new offices and refurbishments and the distributed audio systems that quietly hold a retail floor or hospitality venue together.

AV, electrical, and IT delivered by one accountable team. For commercial clients, that means fewer subcontractors to coordinate, one set of documentation, and a single point of accountability when things need to move quickly.

Four areas of commercial electrical expertise

01Office Fit-Outs
+

Electrical, AV, and technology delivery for new tenancies, refurbishments, and full-floor commercial fit-outs.

We work alongside fit-out companies, main contractors, architects, and commercial property managers on the electrical and technology infrastructure behind office fit-outs of any scale. From power and lighting to structured cabling, Wi-Fi infrastructure, AV systems, IT equipment deployment, speech privacy systems, and access control, we plan, install, and commission the entire package as one coordinated programme.

For project managers, the benefit is straightforward: one team accountable for electrical, AV, structured cabling, and technology infrastructure means fewer handoffs between subcontractors, tighter programme coordination, and a smoother delivery from rough-in through to handover.

What we deliver

  • Electrical infrastructure for new tenancies and commercial fit-outs
  • Lighting design and installation
  • Power, data, and structured cabling
  • IT equipment deployment and technology setup
  • Speech privacy systems including Biamp sound masking solutions
  • Access control and security integration
  • Coordination with architects, project managers, and main contractors
02Retail & Shopfitting
+

Electrical and technology delivery for retail, from single sites to nationwide rollouts.

Retail electrical work has its own rhythm. Programmes are tight, stores need to open on time, brand standards have to be replicated consistently across every site, and the work has to be done with as little disruption to neighbouring tenants as possible.

We've delivered retail rollouts across New Zealand for some of the country's largest brands. We work to the brand's specifications, replicate the standard reliably across every site, and coordinate the schedule with the rest of the fit-out programme so each store opens on time.

What we cover

  • Retail fit-out electrical and lighting
  • Multi-site rollouts and refurbishment programmes
  • Point-of-sale power and data
  • Digital media displays and internal communications systems
  • CCTV and security systems
  • Nationwide maintenance and support
03Data & Structured Cabling
+

Cat6, Cat6A, and fibre cabling, designed and certified for new builds, fit-outs, and existing tenancies.

The data cabling in your building is the layer everything else depends on. AV systems, networking, security, telephony, point-of-sale, Wi-Fi, and cloud connectivity all rely on stable and properly installed infrastructure.

We design and install structured cabling systems to current standards, with proper documentation, testing, and certification at handover. Built to support both current operational requirements and future technology expansion.

What we deliver

  • Cat6, Cat6A, and fibre cabling design and install
  • Server room and comms room fit-out
  • Cable testing, certification, and documentation
  • Cable management and labelling to standard
  • Coordination with IT and AV scope on the same project
  • Retrofit and remediation of existing installations
04Background Music
+

Background audio system design, installation, and support for retail, hospitality, office, and commercial environments.

Background audio plays an important role in how commercial spaces feel, function, and operate day-to-day. Whether it's a retail store, hospitality venue, office environment, or customer-facing commercial space, the audio system needs to be reliable, easy to manage, and designed to suit the environment properly.

We design and install commercial background audio systems including speakers, amplifiers, zoning, control systems, and integrated audio infrastructure. We also assist clients with licensed commercial music platform selection and system configuration where required.

Common applications

  • Background audio system design and installation
  • Commercial speaker and amplifier systems
  • Zone-based audio control and distributed audio systems
  • Speech privacy and sound masking systems
  • Integrated audio infrastructure for office and retail fit-outs
  • Music licensing guidance and platform selection
  • Centralised audio control across multi-site businesses

Why Evolve

Electrical, AV, and IT under one roof. Nationwide.

Most commercial electricians stop at the power and lighting. Most AV companies don't touch the cabling. Most IT firms don't do either.

We deliver all three from one team, with shared documentation and a single point of accountability across the electrical, data, and AV scope.

For project managers running a fit-out programme, that's fewer subcontractors in the WIP, less time chasing handoffs, and one number to call when the schedule shifts.
