Network connection design, held inside the same team as the building.
On most projects the network connection design sits with a separate ASP consultant, and the coordination gap between that design and the in-building electrical design is where programme is lost. Lumex holds ASP Level 3 electrical design capability, so the substation, the connection asset and the main switchboard are designed by one team against one set of assumptions — and the network approval milestones are tracked against the construction programme from the beginning.
Scope, by project stage.
Stated by stage so you can see exactly what is included at the point you are engaging us — and what is not.
Connection strategy
- Capacity enquiry and network operator engagement
- Connection option assessment — low voltage, high voltage, chamber or padmount substation
- Substation siting, access and easement implications
- Cost and programme comparison of the viable options
Design
- ASP Level 3 accredited network connection design
- Substation and high-voltage infrastructure documentation
- Network operator design submission and approval management
- Coordination with the in-building electrical design
Delivery
- Design approval through the network operator process
- Coordination with the ASP Level 1 contractor
- Energisation milestone tracking against the programme
- As-built and asset handover documentation support
Three positions we hold on asp level 3 electrical.
These are the decisions that determine whether the package works. They are made early, and they are the ones we will argue about.
Start the capacity enquiry at concept
Network capacity, connection type and substation siting change basement layouts and street frontages. Discovering them after the DA is a redesign; establishing them at concept is a decision.
One team either side of the point of supply
Where the connection design and the building design sit with different consultants, the interface at the main switchboard is where the assumptions diverge. Holding both removes that seam.
Energisation is a programme milestone with a real lead time
It is routinely treated as an administrative step and routinely delays practical completion. We track it as a construction milestone from the first capacity enquiry.
Sectors and framework.
Compliance is the floor. Constructability, maintainability and long-term value carry equal weight.
Sectors
Design framework
- Relevant network operator design standards and connection policies
- AS/NZS 3000
- AS 2067 for high-voltage installations
- ASP scheme requirements

An Accredited Service Provider authorised to design contestable network connection works — the substation, the connection asset and the associated high-voltage or low-voltage infrastructure between the network and the point of supply.
Because the two designs either side of the point of supply are usually produced by different firms working to different assumptions, and the gap is discovered at energisation. One team, one set of assumptions, one programme.
No. Design is Level 3; the physical works are carried out by an ASP Level 1 contractor. We coordinate with them and manage the design approval through the network operator.
At concept. Connection type and substation siting affect the plan, and network approvals have lead times that cannot be compressed later.
Usually engaged alongside this.
