Residents' associations
The question is not whether they are coming. It is how the first one gets in.
The moment one resident has a charger fitted on their own, their cable run becomes the car park's cable run. The next person has to work around it, so does the third, and there comes a point where not one more cable will fit through the ceiling slab. Pre-installation means deciding once, at a residents' meeting, how the building is wired for charging, instead of inheriting the cable route left by whoever got there first.
Three reasons to do it now.
Decided once and for all
One meeting, one project and one fixed price for the whole car park, instead of six arguments and six different installations.
Your car park goes up in value
The investment stays with the property. A parking space with charging available is worth more and lets sooner.
Connecting later is no longer building work
With the tray in place, fitting a point in a parking space is a few hours' electrical work, not a building job.
How each type of car park is tackled.
No two car parks are the same, but three situations come up again and again in Madrid. The initial survey establishes which one is yours and the best route to take.
Single-level car park
The cable tray starts at the meter room and runs along the main roadway. This is the simplest case and the cheapest per parking space.
Car park with two or more levels
The riser between floors is the make-or-break item. It is done once, sealed properly and recorded, so that coming down to the second floor later is no longer building work.
Car park with a ramp and the consumer unit outside
Where the consumer unit sits outside the enclosure, the external run has to be mechanically protected. We solve this with reinforced trunking and a weatherproof junction box.
The questions that come up at the residents' meeting.
These six come up at every meeting. If it suits you, one of our engineers will attend the meeting and answer them in person.
«There are no electric cars in the car park yet»
«Why should the whole building pay for it if only some of us will use it?»
«I don't want building work in my parking space»
«Will the residents' association pay for it on the electricity bill?»
“What if it ends up costing more than quoted?”
“Who deals with the permits?”
What the residents' association gets before voting.
Free and with no obligation: technical report, cable route drawing and cost breakdown, ready to attach to the minutes. And if you ask, an engineer at the meeting to answer residents' questions.
Are you a residents' association?
Get in touch and we'll prepare a full survey of the car park, with a technical report and a fixed-price quote, ready for you to take to the residents' meeting.
