You wouldn’t treat a property’s plumbing or heating as an afterthought, and your lighting deserves the same careful attention.
Lightplan believes that the lighting setup of a project should be one of the earliest considerations. A well-planned lighting arrangement not only enhances the atmosphere and functionality of the space but also leads to overall cost savings and a more streamlined project from start to finish.
At Lightplan, our pre-tender lighting project design services provide everything you need for a comprehensive lighting solution, all bundled into a single, stress-free package that minimises costs while maximising aesthetics.
Lighting design and interior design are two sides of the same coin: one creates a stunning visual appeal, while the other ensures that this beauty can be fully appreciated in the finished space.
Trying to work one around the other as an afterthought is like fitting a square peg into a round hole.
Not only are you potentially limited by the design decisions you have already made, but you’ve potentially left yourself open to dark corners, insufficient lux levels, installation challenges, and even failing to meet regulatory standards.
With some elements now set in stone, you may find yourself needing to rework your plans. This can involve rolling back certain elements of your design, which increases the risk of exceeding your budget or settling for a lighting setup that is merely ‘good enough’ rather than ‘great.’
If you try to plan your lighting too early, the worst-case scenario is that you'll have to pause for a short time while the other elements are finalised.
If you leave lighting planning until too late, on the other hand, the final result may appear unbalanced and could end up costing more than you originally anticipated.
More than ensuring a cohesive final product, our pre-tender design service streamlines your procurement, installation and regulatory compliance.
We go beyond simple floor plans, delivering detailed technical drawings that cover every aspect of your project. These include zoning and switching plans, reflected ceiling layouts, circuitry diagrams, and precise photometric calculations.
If we are working with an existing space, our on-site visits allow us to assess natural light levels, evaluate any existing infrastructure and take ultra-precise measurements.
Our CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and BIM (Building Information modelling) files provide further detail of the lighting system for precise planning via 3D visualisations, preventing conflicts with any HVAC or plumbing systems.
As a lighting wholesaler with direct links to manufacturers, Lightplan can source all the fixtures and supporting components your project needs at bulk pricing rates to reduce your overall project costs.
If needed, we can provide an on-site lighting specialist to work closely with your electrical contractors and installers. This ensures that all fixtures are positioned exactly as specified in the design drawings, guaranteeing precise and accurate placement throughout the installation process.
Whether you’re outfitting an office, a shop floor or a warehouse, commercial lighting poses a unique set of challenges and considerations. Lightplan’s pre-tender design services simplify and address these complexities, ensuring that:
- The final product aligns with regulatory compliance, including fire safety and energy efficiency.
- The layout optimises lighting placement for functional and aesthetic purposes, maximising both visual appeal and cost-effectiveness.
- All the necessary documentation is readily available for smooth collaboration with architects, engineers and contractors.

Unlike the broad approach often used in commercial spaces, residential lighting design requires thoughtful attention to the desired ambience and mood of each individual room. Lightplan’s pre-tender design services help architects to:
- Visualise the lighting plan through detailed architectural plans, ensuring that the lighting enhances the space’s structure and design while meeting functional requirements.
- Streamlining the tender process, ensuring that contractors can provide accurate and fair pricing based on the lighting plan.
- Maintain peace of mind that the installation will be carried out to the plan’s standard via on-site supervision and contractor collaboration.
Whether you are just putting together some ideas, need a professional eye to look over your existing design or have a crystal-clear vision you want to bring to life, we're here to help. Our free site visits and flexibility ensures that we can work with whatever floor plans or schematics you have to hand. Get started today by getting in touch at 0208 342 7009 or projects@lightplan.co.uk, or complete our Contact Form to arrange a call back.
To ensure a seamless installation process, we have qualified electrician partners who work with us throughout the planning stage to ensure installation is carried out professionally and as planned. Our lighting designers can also liaise with your own electricians and discuss the finer details and provide guidance if necessary.
Once the electrician has done their part and signed off on the installation, your designer will conduct a final inspection to verify the lighting has been installed according to specification.
