Custom (Indoor & Outdoor) Switchboards

Custom (Indoor & Outdoor) Switchboards

Engineered-to-order switchboards tailored to your site, specs, and environment

Overview

No two projects are the same — and Chadwick’s custom switchboards are built with that in mind. Whether you need an indoor solution for tight mechanical rooms or an outdoor-rated switchboard designed to withstand weather, dust, and impact, we can build it to spec.

Our engineering and design teams collaborate closely with contractors, consultants, and project managers to ensure each custom switchboard meets all compliance requirements, environmental conditions, and layout constraints. From enclosure materials and IP ratings to internal componentry, busbar sizing, and access options — every detail is considered and delivered.

We build custom boards for everything from hospitals and public infrastructure to logistics warehouses, power stations, and beyond. No shortcuts — just precise, purpose-built solutions backed by decades of experience.

FAQs

How long does it take to manufacture a switchboard?

Lead times vary depending on the complexity of your board and current production capacity. Standard boards can be completed in 2–4 weeks, while fully custom solutions may take 6–8 weeks. For urgent requirements, speak with our team — we’ll do our best to accommodate your timeline.

Do you offer site inspections or on-site switchboard modifications?

Yes. Our technicians regularly attend shutdowns and site visits for maintenance, upgrades, or compliance modifications. We also offer thermal imaging and grading studies as part of our service options.

Can Chadwick supply switchboards for projects outside NSW?

Absolutely. We supply to VIC, QLD, ACT, and other regions nationally. Freight, crating, and delivery options can be discussed during quoting to ensure safe and timely arrival.

Are your switchboards built to Australian standards?

Yes — our boards are engineered in alignment with AS/NZS 61439 standards and built in accordance with NESMA best practices. If you require project-specific compliance documentation, we’re happy to provide it.

Do you offer spare parts or support for non-Chadwick boards?

We do. Our team can help source or recommend compatible components and provide alternatives if your original parts are obsolete or discontinued.

Can I send through drawings or specs for a custom quote?

Yes — we encourage it. You can upload drawings directly through our quote request form or email them to [email protected]. Our estimators will get back to you promptly.
