A renovation does not automatically establish whether a DEWA application is needed. Have the existing approved installation and proposed additions reviewed, then confirm the relevant builder service.
Include utility demand in the renovation brief
List the complete planned work, including associated equipment and any phased additions. The point is to give the responsible designer a reliable brief, not to infer capacity from the apparent size of a room or appliance.
Gather the approved installation and new loads
Gather available approved electrical records, existing equipment information and specifications for proposed additions. Ask the project team which information is missing and who will obtain it. Water changes should be reviewed against the appropriate water service.
Review the technical requirements
List the additions
Include all planned equipment and phases.
Check the existing records
Identify the approved installation and gaps in available information.
Review the technical change
Have the appointed specialist assess the proposed demand.
Confirm the application and timing
Record the relevant service and any inspection or connection dependencies.
Confirm requirements before site work
Do not decide from a general guide whether work may continue while a request is under review. Check the issued permits, technical dependencies and applicable conditions with the project team before sequencing the works.
