What UTECH does
UTECH Pty Ltd is a New South Wales-based electrical contracting firm founded in February 2004 by Jim Harpas, providing design, supply, installation, and commissioning services for tier 1 and tier 2 construction projects. The company operates from its headquarters in Milperra, NSW, and serves as a long-term preferred electrical contractor to several of Australia's largest builders including ADCO, Growthbuilt, Deicorp, Mirvac, Roberts Co, and Health Infrastructure NSW. Project scope spans healthcare facilities, multi-storey residential developments, mixed-use precincts, aged care, commercial towers, and public infrastructure, with flagship engagements including the $250M Griffith Hospital, $300M 77 Market Street, $200M Surry Hills precinct, $119M North Shore Health Hub, and $98M Wyvern Private Hospital.
The service catalogue covers engineering and design, substation works, fire detection and alarm systems, general electrical installation, in-house switchboard design and manufacturing, communications, lighting, audio-visual systems, data centres and fibre, security installations, ongoing service and maintenance, and thermal scanning. UTECH holds TAO Authorised status for Transport NSW infrastructure work and externally certified ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 45001 (OHS), and ISO 14001 (environmental) management systems. Its 11-50 person team includes a Technical Manager with 25+ years' experience described as an internal subject matter expert and an Electrical Design Manager recruited from Stantec.
Commercially, UTECH runs a project-based, quote-driven revenue model with no public pricing; revenue is generated through one-time project fees for electrical works on commercial, residential, healthcare, and industrial builds. Customer acquisition is relationship-led rather than marketing-led, relying on preferred-contractor status and reputation within the NSW construction industry rather than formalized go-to-market channels.
