EV charging / Office buildings

Shared EV charger installation for offices

Prepare an installation request after the property has a defined charging approach. Tie the equipment and parking scope to the electrical assessment, user access and the responsibilities for operating the completed system.

The decision this helps you make

What to aim for.

An installation proposal with clear equipment, infrastructure, commissioning and operating responsibilities.

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 spaces and charging equipment included in the first installation.
  • Define the agreed operating model, user access and responsibility for shared infrastructure.
  • Ask the provider to confirm the design and site information needed before installation begins.

Put these records together.

  • Share the approved assessment, available design documents and the parking allocation plan.
  • Identify equipment preferences, ownership agreements and the contact coordinating the property decision.
  • Provide access restrictions, operating hours and arrangements for work around parked vehicles.

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.

  • Separate shared electrical infrastructure, individual charging equipment and installation work.
  • Ask for commissioning, software setup, user onboarding and ongoing support to be itemized.
  • Clarify permits, utility coordination and inspection responsibilities with the proposed project team.

Understand what affects the cost.

Ask providers to price the same scope and explain the assumptions behind these items.

  • The distances between electrical equipment and parking locations and the routes available.
  • The infrastructure work identified in the design and the selected operating model.
  • Parking disruption, installation phases and coordination with other work at the property.

Project: Shared EV charger installation · Property: Office buildings

Agree on the handover.

  • Collect installed equipment records, completed drawings and commissioning or verification documents.
  • Confirm administrator access, ownership of accounts and the contact for service problems.
  • Keep instructions for users, maintenance responsibilities and the process for adding future participants.
  • Asset-level service records and updated project drawings
  • Tenant-specific completion notes where work enters leased space

Questions before you begin.

What recurring charges belong in the comparison?

Ask each provider to explain software, payment processing, connectivity, maintenance and support charges where applicable. Identify who pays each item and how changes or additional users affect the arrangement.

Can providers quote from a parking plan alone?

A parking plan helps establish locations. Ask the provider to identify the electrical assessment, design and site investigation needed before the proposed installation scope and price can be confirmed.

Who should coordinate shared ev charger installation 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.
