Built one electrical business. Building the next one better.
Forster Electrical Co is Oliver Forster: 19 years in the trade, two businesses built, and a preference for doing the work himself.
Nineteen years, and back on the tools
Oliver started contracting 19 years ago and grew his previous company to a team of 16, mostly residential construction for builders across Perth. He sold that business to a larger group and ran their commercial projects for three years before deciding to start again under his own name.
This time the focus is different. Rather than chasing volume through builders, Forster Electrical Co is built around the work Oliver enjoys and does best: EV chargers, switchboard upgrades, lighting and the electrical problems homeowners actually ring about. Smaller jobs, done properly, by the person who quoted them.
He also sits on the board of ETI Limited, a Western Australian electrical training provider that employs 600 apprentices, which keeps him close to the standards the trade is taught to.
Quoted upfront, certified when it is done
You get a fixed price in writing before the work starts, and a compliant, certified job at the end of it. No shortcuts on safety switches, circuit sizing or cable runs, because it is your house and your family using it.
