High-end apartment electrical fit-out
Byrd Electrical Team

Byrd Electrical recently completed a luxury apartment electrical fit-out project at Level 12, 99 Spring St, Melbourne, fusing two apartments into one sophisticated, high-end living space enhanced with advanced electrical solutions.

What Work Was Completed

Our team implemented a range of electrical installations to elevate the functionality and aesthetics of the newly merged apartment. A comprehensive CBUS automation system was installed to control all lighting elements, including pre-programmed art and entertainment scenes, ensuring that walkway areas and artworks were beautifully illuminated.

We integrated a high-end security system that provided seamless protection while maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the space. Custom LED strip lighting was added within curved bulkheads to accentuate architectural features, enhancing the apartment’s design.

In the dining area, bespoke pendant lights were installed above the dining table, serving as both functional lighting and statement design elements. The kitchen was fitted with inbuilt appliances, including an induction cooktop seamlessly integrated into the island bench for a sleek, modern look.

We also installed an indoor herb garden with an automated irrigation system, allowing residents to conveniently grow fresh herbs. Wall-hung TVs were mounted throughout the apartment, with all AV cabling concealed to create a clutter-free environment.

A custom-built study area featured under-shelf lighting, providing practical illumination while creating a cozy, inviting workspace. Automated electric blinds were also installed, giving residents precise control over natural light and privacy throughout the day.

Seamless Integration of Smart Home Automation Systems

Integrating smart home automation systems like CBUS enhances the functionality and convenience of modern living spaces. Here’s how automation transforms residential spaces:

  • Centralised Control for Lighting and Security: All lighting and security systems can be managed from a single interface, offering convenience and efficiency.
  • Pre-Programmed Scenes for Ambiance: Automated scenes, such as “Entertainment Mode” or “Art Display,” provide tailored lighting settings with the press of a button.
  • Remote Access and Monitoring: Homeowners can control lighting and security remotely, ensuring flexibility and peace of mind while away from home.
  • Energy Management for Sustainability: Automation systems optimise energy consumption by adjusting lighting based on time of day and occupancy.
  • Integration with Smart Devices: CBUS systems seamlessly connect with other smart home technologies, enhancing the overall user experience and compatibility.

Custom Lighting Solutions for Luxury Interiors

Bespoke lighting solutions elevate the design and ambience of high-end living spaces. Here’s how custom lighting enhances luxury interiors:

  • LED Strip Lighting for Architectural Accents: Strategically placed LED strips highlight design features, adding depth and sophistication to the space.
  • Pendant Lights as Design Statements: Custom pendant lighting serves as both functional illumination and a centrepiece, enhancing the room’s aesthetic.
  • Under-Shelf Lighting for Practicality and Atmosphere: Discreet lighting under shelves provides both functional task lighting and a warm ambience.
  • Optimised Lighting Placement for Even Coverage: Expert positioning of lights ensures even illumination without harsh shadows, creating a balanced environment.
  • Dimmable and Color-Adjustable Options: Advanced LED systems offer dimming and color-tuning features, allowing residents to set the mood for any occasion.

The End Result

The completed project at Level 12, 99 Spring St showcases a perfect blend of luxury, technology, and functionality. The CBUS automation system, combined with custom lighting elements and integrated security, ensures both elegance and convenience. The careful attention to detail in every element, from kitchen design to entertainment setups, resulted in a sleek, high-end living space that exceeds expectations. Residents now enjoy a modern apartment where technology and design come together seamlessly to enhance everyday living.

I highly recommend Byrd Electrical for any electrical needs. They are professional in their correspondence from quote stage and their workmanship is excellent. We had the pleasure of having Leon, Lionel and Patrick attend our property and I cannot fault them. It is refreshing to deal with such a professional company. Will definitely use them in the future.
I used Byrd Electrical for a residential job in Sandringham, VIC in December, just before Christmas, and the experience went well beyond my expectations.

I found them through Google “find nearby” after contacting four other electricians for quotes. Byrd Electrical were the only ones who could attend promptly, provide a detailed quote, and actually fit the job in before Christmas. They attended three days after first contact and provided a clear, itemised quote with options, which made it easy to understand exactly what was involved and choose the best approach.

During the quote visit, they also inspected the switchboard and identified that several circuit breakers were not up to current standard. This was clearly explained to me, including the technical differences between the existing breakers and modern RCBO protection, and why this mattered from a safety and compliance perspective. As we have a small child, electrical safety is a priority for me, and this discussion highlighted a genuine risk that needed to be addressed.

The quoted work included installing double external power points in different outdoor locations, as well as extending power, ethernet, and TV coax into a recessed media box for wall mounting an 80-inch TV. Two days after the quote, they attended to carry out the work, turning up exactly when they said they would and again discussing the quoted options before commencing. They also accommodated my request to ensure the recessed media box allowed space for a small NUC PC, which was handled without issue.

During the job, following a detailed technical explanation and a discussion of the safety risks given we have a young child, I verbally approved additional work to address the switchboard issues. The switchboard was upgraded to current standards using modern RCBOs, ensuring appropriate protection across the relevant circuits. This was carried out transparently and professionally, and knowing the switchboard had been properly brought up to date was very reassuring.

They also went beyond the original scope in other areas. Instead of simply relocating the existing ethernet and coax connections, they split them, ensuring I retained access to the original points as well as the new media location.

Throughout the job, Ben, the electrician on site, was professional, tidy, and respectful of our home. Work areas were kept clean, explanations were clear, and the finished result looks well planned and neatly executed. Nothing felt rushed or improvised.

As a final bonus, the total cost came in slightly under the quoted amount, which was a pleasant surprise given the additional work that was done.

Overall, the combination of clear communication, detailed quoting, strong technical knowledge, attention to safety, on-time attendance, and the ability to deliver just before Christmas really set Byrd Electrical apart.

Ben did a fantastic job, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use Byrd Electrical again or recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable electrician.
Really satisfied with Byrd Electrical. Had to reroute an underground power cable and Mark was on time, communicated very well and took the time to answer all my questions and explained everything very thoroughly. Price wise I found everything to be very reasonable. 5/5 would highly recommend.
Exceptional service and communication. Highly recommend
Exceptional workmanship and a massive safety upgrade!

I hired Byrd Electrical to install a dedicated circuit for a new 25kW pool heat pump, and they ended up doing a much-needed safety overhaul on my switchboard as well. With their 10+ years in business and combined 40 years of experience, it really shows in the quality of the work.

Leon and the team were fantastic. For the heat pump, they ran a dedicated 32A circuit with heavy-duty conduit. We discussed the layout beforehand, and they surface-mounted it very discreetly with neat bends—it looks incredibly professional.
More importantly, they identified a critical safety issue in my existing board where an old RCD was failing to trip (we’d had recent shocks). They retrofitted the board with new RCBOs for all circuits and added a surge protector. I now have a Certificate of Electrical Safety and total peace of mind knowing the family is safe.

They managed to squeeze us in before Christmas, which I really appreciated. If you need complex work done right, I highly recommend Byrd Electrical
Fantastic service from Leon and the team at Byrd. Always prompt, always polite and always deliver great work. Won’t go elsewhere for our electrical needs.
Excellent customer service and on time. Thank you Ben for the great effort and extra help in fixing issue at hand. Highly recommended for any electrical needs!
I highly recommend Byrd Electrical. They were very prompt and clear with the quoting which included a video explaining options and the steps required to complete the work. They arrived on time, were efficient and cleaned thoroughly. I asked them to fix my internet woes which was done with cabling and wireless access points. They also installed new electrical powerpoints and a fan. During the fan installation while on the roof, they noticed a cracked tile and patched it with sealant. That was so kind and made my day.
Very efficient, excellent work and extremely friendly service. Highly recommend
