About Vorick Group
Confidence through quality
Vorick Group is a Sydney commercial and industrial electrical contractor, established in 2014. We deliver the whole electrical package, from design and switchboards to installation, testing, handover and maintenance, with our own switchboard workshop at Mulgrave NSW, in the Hawkesbury on Sydney's north-west.
Dean Houghton and Joshua Attard started Vorick Group in August 2014 and still run its projects, with more than 30 years between them on site. Behind them are project management, estimating, service, accounts, licensed electricians and apprentices: 30 people in all.
The directors
Dean Houghton and Joshua Attard
We have run Vorick Group together since the day it started. As directors we share the oversight of every part of the business and of the way each project is delivered: estimating and design, our switchboard workshop, the work on site, safety, handover and the client relationship.
We work together so that each of them is managed to a standard that exceeds our clients' expectations. Every client has a director on the phone as their point of contact, and every construction project has a named supervisor.
What you get from Vorick Group
- One point of contact: a director on the phone and a named supervisor on every construction project
- Switchboards from our own workshop: on recent boards, drawings in under two weeks and the board built in three to four weeks
- In-house design: load assessment, cable sizing and voltage drop, protection grading and switchboard design; network applications through our accredited partners
- A documented safety system: WHS policy, SWMS, a staff licences register checked monthly, inductions and test and tag on every job
- A handover pack on every job: test records, certificates of compliance, as-builts and warranties
Safety
- WHS policy and safe work method statements for low-voltage electrical work, working at heights, work near overhead and underground services and work that may disturb asbestos, reviewed annually and for each site
- A staff licences and certificates register checked monthly; licence and competency records supplied for prequalification and site inductions
- Site inductions and SWMS sign-on, daily prestarts, toolbox meetings and test and tag to AS/NZS 3760
- An isolation register and permit for work in live switchrooms
Quality and handover
- Inspection and test plans with the client's hold points, test records for every circuit and factory test sheets for every board we build
- Installations tested to AS/NZS 3000 and a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work lodged for every job
- A handover pack from one template: certificates, test records, as-builts, warranties, operation and maintenance manuals
- Design records kept with the job: cable sizing and voltage drop calculations, protection grading studies, switchboard drawings
