CONTRACTING Entire Group We have steadily built a reputation as a company that can be trusted to deliver on time and on budget. This gives you the peace of mind that we’ll be there when you need us, whether on-site today, or in five years’ time.” In a time when the electrical industry is seeing fluctuating demand, 2024 marked a record year for Christchurch-based company Entire Electrical Solutions, which experienced a significant uptick in the volume of work. “Our workload last year exceeded every year to date since establishing our business in 2013, with us completing the electrical in over 900 new homes and apartments in Canterbury,” managing director Jake Lewis says. “It’s a real validation of the efficiency and quality of our processes and staff that so much can be accomplished by a team of 25.” Founded by Jake, his wife Di and a small team of six, Entire Electrical Solutions was born from a vision to provide seamless, high-quality electrical services for new homes as affordably as possible. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, Jake’s approach blends technical skill and system-based processes with a commitment to sustainability and team development. Entire Electrical Solutions’ services are comprehensive and solutions focused, from general electrical work to audio-visual systems, security, heat pumps, repairs, installations, maintenance and equipment supply. “We make the whole process easy,” Jake says. “Our knowledgeable crew can advise on your options, make suggestions and give you recommendations. You’ll always be kept informed – there’s no surprises at completion of your new home, with either the final product, or the bill.” The company has grown into a nationwide operation, now employing over 45 electricians and apprentices across six branches in Auckland, New Plymouth, Hamilton, Nelson, Christchurch and Queenstown. The company’s success is built on a foundation of reliability, communication and a strong, people-first ethos. “The customer is always right – well, most of the time, anyway,” Jake says. “We have steadily built a reputation as a company that can be trusted to deliver on time and on budget. This gives you the peace of mind that we’ll be there when you need us, whether on-site today, or in five years’ time.” Despite broader industry slowdowns, Entire Electrical Solutions is helping Christchurch get back on its feet, playing a key role in the city’s rebuild and renewal. Their recent work includes large-scale residential projects, such as multiple inner-city apartment blocks – some comprising 40 or more units – for some of New Zealand’s biggest new-home builders, while also continuing with standalone housing throughout the region’s many subdivisions. As a family-owned business, Entire Electrical Solutions’ staff culture is just as important as its output. “They are committed to hiring only the best people – those who are passionate, willing and hard working. “We only hire talented electricians and apprentices who strive to be the best,” Jake says. “This approach ensures we have a high-quality team of guys and girls who punch well above their weight. “This is evidenced by the impressive amount of work we get through every day.” Health and safety is another priority. All branches are SiteWise accredited, meaning clients can have confidence in the company’s professionalism, safety compliance and quality of workmanship. In an unpredictable market, Entire Electrical Solutions stands out for its consistency and quality workmanship. As Christchurch continues its resurgence, Entire Electrical Solutions and its dedicated staff are quite literally helping power the city’s future. Need an AEA?MKŏ?=E apprentice?
