Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to make your experience seamless. This section provides quick answers to the topics you’re curious about.
Have a different question?
Our team will answer all your question. We ensure a quick response
Do you offer General Electrical work?
We work alongside general electricians to deliver the complex components of larger electrical projects — including major switchboard upgrades, civil infrastructure, and high-capacity commercial systems. Our role is to provide the specialist capability, compliance expertise, and project management required when a job moves beyond the scope of general electrical work.
Why are switchboard upgrades so critical?
Your switchboard is the nerve centre of your electrical system. Old or overloaded switchboards are not only inefficient but pose serious fire and safety risks. With over 40 years’ experience, we design and deliver upgrades that improve safety, capacity, and compliance – ensuring your site meets today’s demanding electrical standards.
Do you take on residential or small electrical jobs?
Yes, our expertise in complex electrical systems extends to residential homes — for clients who want master-level electricians, not shortcuts. We bring commercial-grade precision, compliance, and workmanship to every project, no matter the scale.
Who are your typical clients?
Our clients are body corporates, strata managers, developers, builders, industrial operators, and building managers. We partner with organisations that need a highly technical, large-scale electrical contractor capable of managing compliance and risk on critical projects.
Can you manage the full scope of works, including civil requirements?
Yes. We have the in-house expertise and partnerships to deliver turnkey solutions, including trenching, pits, conduits, and site works. This eliminates coordination delays and ensures the entire electrical and civil scope is managed seamlessly under one contractor.
How do you ensure compliance and safety on large projects?
As Master Electricians, compliance is at the core of what we do. Our projects are designed, installed, and tested against the strictest Australian Standards. We provide detailed documentation, risk management, and handover packages to give committees and operators full confidence in their infrastructure.
How much experience does your team bring to major projects?
Rob Milla Electrical brings together over four decades of proven expertise in complex electrical contracting. We have delivered some of the Gold Coast’s largest and most technically demanding switchboard and infrastructure upgrades, giving us a reputation for precision and reliability.
How do I know if my building needs a major Switchboard upgrade?
If your facility is 30+ years old, struggles with frequent outages, or is planning for increased power demand (such as lifts, EV charging, air conditioning, or industrial equipment), a major upgrade is likely required. We provide site inspections and demand assessments to give committees and operators a clear, expert recommendation.
