Rewired Electrical x Fitness Cartel Toowoomba
A First Major MSB Project, Backed by B&R
When Rewired Electrical took on the complete electrical fit-out of the new Fitness Cartel Toowoomba gym and wellness centre, they knew the project called for more than simply connecting a new facility to an existing electrical installation.
During the initial site inspection, the existing main switchboard was found to be outdated, internally located and no longer suitable for the requirements of the new development. A new solution was needed – one that could handle the additional load, meet current standards and provide the capacity and accessibility required for the future.
That’s where B&R came in.
Designing a Switchboard for the Future
Working closely with Rewired Electrical, B&R designed and manufactured a custom 400A Main Switchboard to support both the existing installation and the increased electrical demand of the new Fitness Cartel facility.
The existing MSB was relocated externally to a compliant location, improving accessibility while creating a more practical solution for future expansion.
The project also required careful coordination with the local energy provider around the network connection, planned power outage, energisation and final changeover. With a busy new gym waiting to open, minimising disruption and getting the changeover right was critical.
Why B&R?
Rewired had already been using B&R’s smaller switchboards and enclosures across their projects for years. So, when the opportunity came to design and manufacture their first major custom MSB, B&R was the natural choice.
For Rewired, Australian manufacturing was a key consideration. But just as important was the support they received throughout the project.
“We’ve been using B&R’s smaller switchboards and enclosures on our projects for years, so when it came time to design and manufacture a custom MSB, they were the first company we thought of.”
From the initial discussions through to final design and manufacture, B&R representative Maddy worked closely with the Rewired team, providing technical guidance and helping navigate the requirements of a project of this scale.
“The whole process was straightforward, communication was excellent, and nothing ever felt too hard. It made what could have been a complicated project run very smoothly.”
First Major MSB. Big Learning Experience.
For Re-wired, this was their first main switchboard installation of this size and complexity, making the support behind the project even more important.
From design and manufacture through to delivery, the B&R team remained available to answer questions, provide guidance and help Re-wired make informed decisions throughout the process.
“We honestly can’t thank Maddy and the B&R team enough for the support they provided throughout the entire process.”
That support gave the Rewired team the confidence to successfully deliver a project that was a significant step up in scale and complexity and the experience to take on future MSB projects.
“We definitely couldn’t have completed a project of this scale without their support, and it gave us the confidence to take on future MSB projects.”
The Result
The Fitness Cartel Toowoomba project delivered a modern, compliant 400A main switchboard solution, designed around the facility’s current requirements while allowing for future growth.
More than a switchboard, the project demonstrated what can be achieved when an experienced electrical contractor and an Australian manufacturer work closely together, combining custom engineering, local manufacturing and hands-on technical support to deliver with confidence.
