經法團審批，採用共用電錶方案，走線收納於天花線槽。業主自行申請三個月未果，我們接手兩星期內獲批。Committee approved, shared meter setup, cabling hidden in ceiling trunking. The owner tried for three months; we cleared it in two weeks.
將軍澳・私人屋苑Tseung Kwan O · Private estateWall Case 37kW共用電錶Shared meter
A roughly twenty-year-old private estate in Tseung Kwan O, basement carpark. The owner's bay is on B1 near the fire exit, about 25m from the switch room.
The estate never joined EHSS and there's no outlet at the bay — making this Type 4 of the four installation situations, the one where approval is the whole battle.
The hard part
Not the engineering. The paperwork.
The owner had been going back and forth with management for three months with nothing to show. Roughly:
First submission → management asked for drawings
Drawings supplied → they asked for load calculations
Load calculations supplied → they asked for the contractor's licence
Licence supplied → they asked for public liability insurance
Insurance supplied → they said it would be discussed at the next committee meeting, six weeks away
Every round of missing documents meant rejoining the queue. This wasn't obstruction — management genuinely didn't know the full list to ask for in one go.
What we did
Submitted the complete pack at once.
The first thing we did was assemble everything that could possibly be asked for:
A protective-devices note (Type A 30mA plus 6mA DC detection)
Nobody volunteers those last two, and they're exactly what answers the "is this a fire risk" question.
Addressed the committee's three real worries directly.
Stated plainly in the documents:
The owner pays for everything; management fees are not involved
The carpark's existing capacity is sufficient and headroom remains ample after the addition (with figures)
The installed route leaves expansion capacity for other owners later
Meter choice: shared.
We costed both routes. At about 120 kWh a month he's in the lower-usage group, where a dedicated meter's upfront cost takes many years to amortise — so we recommended the estate's shared meter with apportioned billing. He agreed.
Cabling hidden in ceiling trunking.
All 25m runs inside trunking in the carpark ceiling, following the existing services route — nothing exposed, nothing visually intrusive. This helps with approval too: one of the committee's real fears is the carpark ending up looking a mess.
The outcome
Approved within two weeks of submission, then installed in half a day.
The difference between three months of nothing and two weeks to approval wasn't who we know — it was submitting everything they were going to ask for, the first time.
Who this case is useful for
If you're in a private estate and your application has dragged, the problem is usually the missing-document loop rather than an actual refusal.
One thing worth doing: ask management directly for the complete list of required documents, in one go. If they can't produce one, we can.
