EV charging / Office buildings
EV charging feasibility assessment for offices
Define an assessment of shared-property charging before choosing equipment or an installation scope. Bring the parking arrangements, current requests and available electrical records into one brief for the project provider.
The decision this helps you make
What to aim for.
A documented set of feasible approaches, assessment limits and decisions needed before design or installation.
Office charging proposals need a clear picture of employee, visitor and tenant parking use. Explain the intended users and operating arrangements so an installer can assess the project with the property and facilities teams.
Define the scope.
- Identify the parking areas and the users the initial charging project should serve.
- Describe the desired first phase and how participation might grow over time.
- Ask the provider to assess the electrical, ownership and operating questions relevant to the site.
Put these records together.
- Collect parking plans, stall allocation information and the current list of charging requests.
- Provide available electrical drawings, equipment records and earlier charging or capacity assessments.
- Identify the property decision-maker and any agreements affecting the parking or shared infrastructure.
For offices
Fit the work around the property.
An office project works best when the brief distinguishes the shared building systems from the spaces operated by individual tenants. Identify the asset, floor or suite involved and provide the existing drawings and service history that help define the starting point. The owner or asset manager may approve the investment while a property manager coordinates delivery and tenant contacts explain their operating needs. Record those roles before requesting comparable proposals. Occupancy patterns, meetings and business-critical activities can influence when investigation or disruptive work is practical.
Discuss access through reception, loading areas and secure suites, including who can escort visiting contractors. If a project touches both shared and tenant-controlled assets, flag that boundary for review instead of allowing each bidder to assume a different scope. Ask how the contractor will communicate proposed interruptions, new findings and changes requiring approval. At handover, collect asset records, updated information and the remaining action list. The goal is a project record that the facilities team can use while tenants receive a clear account of the work affecting their space.
Decisions and responsibilities
- Owner or asset manager approving investment and project scope
- Property or facilities manager coordinating shared building systems
- Tenant representatives confirming suite access and business operating needs
Service-specific scope
- Map candidate stalls and distinguish assigned spaces from shared visitor parking.
- Gather available electrical records and identify access for a site assessment.
- Discuss user administration, support and changes when a tenant’s parking allocation changes.
Access and operations
- Reception sign-in, secure suite access and contractor escort arrangements
- Loading dock bookings, freight elevator use and material storage
- Work windows coordinated with affected tenant representatives
Questions for the provider
- Who will manage charging access across employees, visitors and separate tenant organizations?
- How will the proposal address future expansion alongside the initial group of users?
Ask for a comparable proposal.
- Define the assessment deliverables and distinguish preliminary options from an installation design.
- Ask how equipment ownership, billing and ongoing support will be considered in each option.
- Separate site investigation, utility coordination and further design from the initial assessment fee.
Understand what affects the cost.
Ask providers to price the same scope and explain the assumptions behind these items.
- The number and distribution of parking spaces included in the assessment.
- The quality of existing electrical records and the investigation needed to confirm site conditions.
- The range of ownership, operating and expansion options the decision-makers want evaluated.

Project: EV charging feasibility assessment · Property: Office buildings
Agree on the handover.
- Keep the assessment with its assumptions, options and identified information gaps.
- Record the decisions needed about funding, participation, ownership and ongoing operations.
- Obtain a clear brief for the next design or quotation stage.
- Asset-level service records and updated project drawings
- Tenant-specific completion notes where work enters leased space
Questions before you begin.
Should we select chargers before commissioning the assessment?
Describe the intended users and operating needs first. Ask the provider to explain equipment choices against the site assessment, desired expansion and ownership model so the selection follows the project requirements.
What information helps plan for future charging demand?
Provide current requests, parking allocation and a realistic description of future participation. Ask the assessment to explain expansion assumptions and the decisions that would change the proposed approach.
Who should coordinate ev charging feasibility assessment for offices?
Confirm the responsible contact among Owner or asset manager approving investment and project scope; Property or facilities manager coordinating shared building systems; Tenant representatives confirming suite access and business operating needs. Give the provider one person who can supply records, arrange access and take questions back to the decision-maker.
Continue planning.
