The ERDS advantage

We bring simplicity and convenience to the process of electrical planning, design and construction. We have a broad internal skillset, augmented through our extensive network of skilled contractors, meaning we can quickly and cost-effectively bring together a team to answer the needs of the most exacting and complicated Client requests – or the simplest.

With an ever-growing range of knowledge and experience, we truly are the ‘end-to-end’ solution.  From simple subdivisions to electrical distribution network planning, from lighting and traffic signals to intelligent transport systems (ITS) – outside of the supply authorities themselves (with whom we enjoy strong, collaborative relationships), ERDS has all your design solutions across Queensland and New South Wales.

The majority of our staff apply knowledge and experience gained from having worked in the relevant government, council departments or utility companies.  This provides a level of insight and understanding that few, if any, of our competitors can match, allowing a shorter lead time on projects and a higher than average satisfaction rate.
