停車場加裝獨立電錶櫃A new meter cabinet in the carpark
八十年代屋苑，停車場原本無位加錶。與法團商議後在牆邊加設一個不銹鋼電錶櫃，一次過預留六個車位的錶位，之後每戶申請都變得簡單。An eighties estate with nowhere left to hang a meter. After talking it through with the committee we added a stainless cabinet on the wall with room for six bays at once — every application after the first got easy.

A nineties estate with the carpark in the basement. The existing meter room was full, with no wall left to hang a new meter on — and this is exactly where older estates get stuck. What blocks it isn't technical. It's space, and it's responsibility.
Before coming to us, the owner had already been told "there's no room, it can't be done" twice.
The hard part
What management actually meant was not "it can't be done", but "nobody will take responsibility for where the new kit goes."
Adding a meter means adding equipment in a common area. Who approves that? Who maintains it later? And if a second owner wants one, does the whole thing go back to a meeting again?
Until those have answers, the committee won't sign.
What we did
1. Not one application — one plan for the estate
We didn't apply for a single meter position. We measured the wall outside the meter room and proposed a stainless cabinet with room for six positions, submitted to the committee as one piece of work.
That changes what the committee is being asked. It's no longer "Mr Chan wants a meter", it's "does the estate want to do this groundwork once". The second question passes far more easily, because it benefits everyone else too.
2. We prepared the paperwork
Location drawing, dimensions, load calculations, cable routing, works schedule, and the WR1 certificate afterwards — all assembled and handed over, so management didn't have to work any of it out themselves.
3. Cabinet, meter, connection
The stainless cabinet is fixed to the wall and holds the dedicated meters and an RCBO ahead of each bay's meter. There's a window in the door, so management can read the meters without opening it.
The result
Approved at one committee meeting — and the three owners who applied after didn't need a meeting at all.
The first application genuinely was the slow one: close to four months from submission to power. The three that followed took two to three weeks each, because the positions were already there.
Who this case is for
If management has told you "the meter room is full" or "the committee hasn't discussed it", this is your case.
The trick isn't persuading management to make an exception for you. It's turning it into groundwork for the whole estate. If other owners in your block want one too, submitting together raises the odds a lot — send a photo of the meter room on WhatsApp and we can tell you whether there's space for a cabinet.
