A small, licensed crew that turns up when they say they will.
Forrest Electrical Group has been wiring Brisbane homes and businesses since 2008. The team is run by Luke — Master Electrician, Owner — and a hand-picked crew of qualified electricians and apprentices.
Every job is logged in AroFlo (the job-management software the team uses on every visit) so the office and the field always have the same up-to-date information. Quotes, photos, completion notes, certificates of compliance — all of it lives in one place per job.
That sounds like a small thing. In practice it means scheduling holds, maintenance call-outs are tracked, and you never have to chase paperwork. We've found it's the single biggest reason builders, body corporates and architects keep coming back.
