Electrical documentation for Queensland industrial projects.

Define the source information, drawing register and interfaces for a plant, resources or utility package. Your project specification sets the drafting conventions, standard editions and review requirements.

§01 — Why Brisbane

Queensland runs on drafting capacity that flexes with project cycles.

Queensland is home to the Bowen and Surat Basin coal operations, CSG production, LNG export terminals, and a dense Brisbane-based engineering consultancy sector. Every one of these depends on electrical documentation that can scale up when a project is in front of it and scale down when the cycle passes.

We act as the scalable drafting desk for Brisbane-based consultancies and QLD operators. We check every drawing against AS/NZS 3000 (wiring rules), AS/NZS 3008.1.1 (cable selection), the AS/NZS 61439 series (switchboard and MCC assemblies) and the AS/NZS 60079 series (explosive atmospheres), inside your Microstation or AutoCAD Electrical templates, under your title block.

  • Three shared working hours with Brisbane: our 09:00–18:00 PKT day runs 14:00–23:00 AEST, all year (Queensland has no daylight saving)
  • Queensland coal and CSG documentation experience
  • AS/NZS 60079 hazardous-area classification for mining and gas
  • Scope and review requirements agreed before production

Substation Documentation

HV and MV substation SLDs, protection schemes, busbar layouts, and AS 2067 compliant documentation.

Brisbane Commercial MEP

Commercial high-rise, institutional, and data centre electrical documentation for Brisbane CBD and South East QLD.

Consultancy Subcontract

Production drafting under your Brisbane engineering consultancy's title block, invisible to end clients.

Start with a defined scope.

Agree the source information, deliverables and review requirements before the first issue.

Scope your project
Before you send a drawing

Your team. Our team.
A clear way to work.

Agree the standards, review responsibilities and working arrangements before the first issue.

Quality: who checks the drawings?

The checking brief covers the project standard, drawing references and review responsibilities. We agree the internal checks, client review sequence, revision allowance and response windows as part of the package scope.

Standards: will you draw to our codes and templates?

We work to the standard that applies to your project: NEC (US), IEC 60364 and IEC 61439, AS/NZS 3000 (Australia and New Zealand), CSA C22.1 (Canada) and BS 7671 (UK). We draw inside your title blocks, layer conventions, cell and block libraries, not ours.

IP and NDA: what happens to our files?

Confidentiality and file access are agreed before source material is shared. Tell us if you require an NDA or a client-managed workspace, VDI or VPN. The scope identifies the permitted environment, access arrangements and handover requirements.

Stamps: who signs the drawings?

If your package requires a PE, Chartered Engineer or other statutory sign-off, tell us during scoping. We agree the responsible party and review requirements before production starts.

Time zones: when can we talk to the team?

Our production team is based in Pakistan (PKT, UTC+5). We agree your project’s working hours and handover arrangements during scoping. The table below uses a 09:00–18:00 PKT reference window to help plan the overlap; it is not a committed project schedule.

Scheduling reference: a 09:00–18:00 PKT window in your local time
Your time zoneReference window, your clockOverlap with your 09:00–17:00
Perth — AWST (UTC+8)12:00–21:005 h (12:00–17:00)
Brisbane, Sydney — AEST (UTC+10)14:00–23:003 h (14:00–17:00)
Dubai — GST (UTC+4)08:00–17:008 h (09:00–17:00)
London — GMT (UTC+0)04:00–13:004 h (09:00–13:00)
New York — ET (EST, UTC−5)23:00–08:00 (overnight)None — overnight handover
Los Angeles — PT (PST, UTC−8)20:00–05:00 (overnight)None — overnight handover

Daylight saving: Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Hobart move to AEDT (UTC+11) from October to April, cutting the overlap to 2 h (15:00–17:00); Queensland and Western Australia stay on standard time. UK summer time (BST, UTC+1) widens the London overlap to 5 h (09:00–14:00). US daylight time moves our day to 00:00–09:00 EDT and 21:00–06:00 PDT, so US teams can plan an overnight handover; the actual arrangement is agreed for your project.

§03 — Brisbane-Specific FAQ

Questions QLD engineering managers ask us

Do you work with Queensland coal and CSG operators?
Yes. Queensland coal (Bowen Basin, Surat Basin), CSG operations, and downstream gas processing. AS/NZS 60079 hazardous-area specialists for mining and gas applications.
What is your working-hours overlap with AEST?
Our working day is 09:00–18:00 PKT (UTC+5), which is 14:00–23:00 AEST (UTC+10). That gives three shared working hours, 14:00–17:00 AEST, all year because Queensland does not use daylight saving. Mark-ups sent in the Brisbane morning are in production the same afternoon.
Can you work to Queensland-specific mining standards?
Yes. Documentation for sites under the Coal Mining Safety and Health Act 1999 and Coal Mining Safety and Health Regulation 2017, or the Mining and Quarrying Safety and Health Act 1999, plus operator-specific standards for major QLD coal and gas producers.
Do you subcontract through Brisbane engineering consultancies?
Yes. Most QLD engagements run as subcontractor arrangements — we act as production drafting inside your title block, invisible to your end client. Standard flow-down NDAs and IP clauses apply.
