Electrical, power & lighting design in
Gabriola Island.
A design-only service. Wenner produces the electrical drawing set — RCPs, panel schedules, conduit layouts, load calculations — and coordinates the trades through the build.
An hour from a working demonstration of the platform.
Gabriola sits a 20-minute ferry ride off Nanaimo, which makes it one of the most accessible Gulf Islands from a service perspective — the team can be on site the same morning we leave the Boxwood Road centre. The architectural mix runs from modest custom homes to significant waterfront builds along the south and east coasts. Wenner runs Gabriola projects on the same in-house full-service model as the rest of the mid-Island.
Electrical, Power & Lighting Design.
Electrical, power, and lighting design is the deepest part of the Wenner practice — the drawing-board work that makes every other system on the home possible. We come in at the schematic stage, produce permittable drawings on the same scale and convention as the architectural set, and stay on the project to coordinate the trades through framing, rough-in, and finish. The local electrical contractor handles the install; the design and management discipline stays with us.
- Permittable RCPs and electrical drawings on the same scale and convention as the architectural set.
- Panel schedules, load calculations, and circuit-by-circuit coordination.
- Conduit and rough-in planning so the trades on site work from one drawing package.
- Code review against the BC Building Code and the Canadian Electrical Code.
- Coordination through framing, rough-in, and finish stages — RFIs answered same day.
Pre-engineered off-site. Installed on-site by our team.
Every Wenner project follows the same disciplined workflow. The system is pre-engineered at our design centre well before it ships to site, so the on-site phase is dramatically faster, more predictable, and more reliable.
- Rack builds and pre-engineering at our design centre. Equipment racks, control processors, network gear, and bespoke programming are assembled, configured, and tested at our Nanaimo or Victoria centre before anything ships to site — the system is essentially functional before it leaves our hands.
- Wenner team on site for the critical phases. Rough-in, final install, commissioning, and testing are handled directly by the Wenner integration team.
- One accountable party. Wenner remains the single technical and management authority on the project, in close coordination with the architect, the interior designer, the builder, and the homeowner.
- The same long-term relationship. Same coordination during construction, same commissioning standard at handover, same aftercare through WennerCare.
The same workflow delivers Wenner projects far beyond Vancouver Island — most recently a completed residence in Mexico City, and an active project in Oregon through our sister company Intuitiv Spaces.
Wenner also delivers.
