What ETC Solutions does

ETC Solutions is a privately-held Western Australian design and engineering consultancy established in 1976 and headquartered in Daglish, Perth. The firm delivers specialist electrical engineering, lighting design, communications and multimedia, audio visual, electronic security, dry fire, vertical transportation, and Building Information Modelling (BIM) services, and has progressively extended its scope into architectural and interior design. Over a 47-plus year operating history the company reports more than 6,000 completed projects and an annual project value on which it provides design solutions exceeding AUD 1 billion, with an 11-50 person team anchored by four directors each holding 25-35+ years of consulting engineering experience and a Principal Engineer leading AV, communications, security, and ELV/ICT integration.

The consultancy's technical capabilities span HV/LV power distribution, power system analysis and substation earthing, renewable energy and UPS systems, SCADA automation, RGBL LED colour-changing luminaires with DMX control, Pharos lighting control systems, and BIM delivery through Autodesk Revit to LOD 300. Notable engagements include the Perth Concert Hall auditorium LED upgrade for the WA Government, the Mindeerup Piazza redevelopment for the City of South Perth, the Koombana Bay foreshore revitalisation for the City of Bunbury, the Karingal Green Health and Aged Care community in partnership with Hassell Interiors, and the BHP Mooka Ore Car Repair Workshop including HV infrastructure, area lighting, communications, and SCADA. The firm is ISO9001 certified and employs WA Police certified security personnel on electronic security work.

ETC Solutions generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements, structured as time-and-materials or fixed-fee consultancy arrangements for design and engineering deliverables. Go-to-market is sales-led, with direct client engagement via website enquiry channels, supplemented by referrals and repeat business from established relationships. Customers are concentrated in Western Australian government agencies (local councils, Western Power, Public Transport Authority, Main Roads WA) and a small set of enterprise accounts across healthcare, mining, aviation, and infrastructure. The firm operates without external investment, remains under director ownership, and shows no evidence of expansion outside Australia.

Broad incumbents

• GHD: Australian-headquartered global engineering consultancy with substantial Perth operations across infrastructure, water, energy, and mining - competes directly for WA government and mining-sector engineering mandates.
• Stantec Australia: Global engineering consultancy with Australian operations spanning buildings, infrastructure, water, and resources - directly comparable competitor for WA government and resource-sector engineering mandates.
• Arup: Global engineering and design consultancy with Perth office covering buildings, infrastructure, and resources - competing peer for high-profile cultural and civic projects like Perth Concert Hall and urban precinct redevelopments.
• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm with Perth operations spanning transport, environment, and buildings - competes on WA government infrastructure panels and major civic projects, offering integrated design services at significantly greater scale.
• WSP Australia: Global professional services consultancy with deep Western Australian presence across property, transport, and resources - directly competes for government infrastructure mandates (Western Power, Main Roads WA, PTA) and offers overlapping electrical and lighting design capability.
• Aurecon: Global engineering, design, and advisory firm with significant Western Australian operations covering infrastructure, buildings, and resources - competes for the same government, mining, and civic projects as ETC but at much larger scale and broader service scope.
• Jacobs: Global professional services firm with Perth presence covering critical infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, and resources - competes on large-scale industrial and infrastructure projects in the WA market.

Others

• Hassell: Australian architecture and design practice that partnered with ETC Solutions on the Karingal Green aged care project - adjacent ecosystem partner rather than direct competitor, but illustrative of the integrated design ecosystem in which ETC operates.

Direct peers

• Meinhardt: International engineering consultancy with strong Australia presence in building services, including electrical, lighting, AV, fire, and vertical transportation - direct peer in mid-sized building services engineering consulting with comparable multi-disciplinary model.
• Norman Disney & Young (NDY): NDY is a specialist building services engineering consultancy covering electrical, lighting, AV, communications, security, fire, and vertical transportation - a near-identical service portfolio to ETC Solutions, making it the closest direct peer, though NDY operates nationally and globally.
