sectors we work in
A hospital, a factory, a water treatment plant, and a school all run on electricity, but they could hardly ask more different things of it.
One needs power that never fails. One needs to keep producing around the clock. One cannot interrupt the teaching day. Understanding those differences is what separates a good electrical contractor from a great one.
For more than 40 years, SBE has delivered electrical engineering across a wide range of sectors, and we bring the specific experience each one demands. Whatever you are building or running, we have very likely solved its particular challenges before.
Why sector experience matters
An electrical installation is shaped by how the building is used. In healthcare and water treatment, resilience is everything, because a loss of power puts people or a public supply at risk. In industrial settings, it is about robustness and uptime. In education and hospitality, it is about delivering the work without disrupting a school day or a guest’s stay. In residential and warehousing, it is about consistent quality across a large development or a vast floor area.
When your contractor understands the sector, the design anticipates its demands rather than discovering them on site, the work is planned around how the facility actually operates, and compliance is built in from the start. That means fewer surprises, less disruption, and a job done right the first time. That understanding is exactly what our four decades across these sectors give us.
Commercial
Offices, retail, and mixed-use developments wired for power, lighting, data, and life safety, delivered on time and to budget.
Industrial
Robust power, controls, and installations for factories, manufacturing, and processing plants, built to stand up to demanding environments.
Residential
Large residential developments and apartment complexes fitted with modern power, lighting, metering, and life-safety systems across every unit.
Water Treatment
Process electrical, controls, and resilient power for the water and wastewater infrastructure that communities depend on around the clock.
Educational Facilities
Safe, efficient electrical, lighting, and data for schools, colleges, and universities, delivered with minimal disruption to learning.
Healthcare
Resilient power and life-safety systems for hospitals, clinics, and care facilities, where continuity and strict compliance are not optional.
Hospitality
Hospitality lighting and power that balance guest comfort, atmosphere, and reliable back-of-house operation for hotels and leisure venues.
Warehousing
Energy-efficient high-bay lighting, power distribution, and EV-ready infrastructure for logistics and distribution facilities at scale.
Proven across sectors.
Our breadth shows in the projects we are trusted with. We delivered the high-performance floodlighting at Thomond Park, the home of Munster Rugby. We equipped the 230-apartment St Clare’s complex in Dublin City with the latest building technology. And we provided the electrical engineering behind the Leixlip Water Treatment Plant, part of the critical infrastructure supplying water to the greater Dublin area. Sport, residential, and critical infrastructure, three very different sectors, all delivered to the same standard.
One partner, whatever your sector.
No matter the sector, the way we deliver is the same. Our in-house engineers handle the electrical services engineering, we can take a project on a single design and build contract, and we keep it running with electrical testing and maintenance. One turnkey partner, accountable from design to handover and beyond.
Why SBE
Four decades of work across these sectors means we bring both breadth and depth to your project. You get in-house electrical engineering, a single point of responsibility, value engineering that keeps the project on budget, and a safety-first approach backed by our ISO 45001 accredited standards.

What sectors do you work in?
Yes. We are a turnkey contractor with in-house electrical engineers, so we can take a project from initial design right through to installation and commissioning under one contract.
Do you bring sector-specific experience?
Yes. Each sector places different demands on an electrical installation, and we bring the specific experience and standards each one requires.
Can you work in live, operational facilities?
Yes. Across every sector, we plan our work around how the facility operates, so we keep disruption to a minimum while we deliver.
