• Emergency lighting, and smoke detection to current standards
• Installation of a new RCD distribution board to safely support all new electrical systems

The Solution

CTE Contractors delivered a full turnkey electrical refurbishment, combining creative design and technical expertise to meet OKU Beauty’s vision.

Dimmable Lighting & Gold Accessories

Power & Safety Upgrades

Finishing Touches
