Electrical contracting has traditionally been seen as a trade grounded in routine and repetition. Yet, at Smart FT, we believe the industry must evolve significantly to meet the increasingly sophisticated demands of modern infrastructure, public sector clients, and dynamic commercial environments.
Today’s electrical contracting goes far beyond just cables and connectors. It involves intelligent systems, complex integrations, stringent compliance, and an expectation of seamless service delivery. At Smart FT, we understand these evolving expectations and have reshaped our business to align with these needs, making life simpler and more efficient for our clients.
Building with Intention
At Smart FT, we believe electrical contracting should extend beyond turning up with a van and a toolbox. It must involve solving complex problems, easing project management burdens, and seamlessly integrating as an extension of our client’s team. Our intentional, client-focused approach sets us apart, as we strive to understand and anticipate the unique requirements of each project and deliver solutions tailored to meet specific long-term goals.
This approach is demonstrated in our partnership with Foresight Environmental, deploying innovative smart waste technology across London’s flagship buildings. Our role here is more than installation; it’s about seamless integration, recognising unique site demands, and supporting long-term sustainability objectives.

Innovation Without the Noise
Innovation at Smart FT is never about technology for technology’s sake; it’s about meaningful improvements that enhance safety, efficiency, and reliability.
For instance, our recent project at the National Gallery involved a highly specialised Building Management System (BMS) installation. The challenge here was to meet strict heritage constraints while optimising the gallery’s environmental controls. Through precision planning and minimal disruption, we delivered a system that respected the site’s historical integrity yet significantly enhanced operational performance.
We took the same innovative yet practical approach on our Kent Route Preventative Maintenance Programme. In collaboration with M Group and Octavius Infrastructure, Smart FT implemented a programme designed to proactively reduce faults, enhance reliability, and extend the life of essential rail infrastructure. Our proactive strategy in infrastructure maintenance ensures reduced downtime and a safer, more reliable network.
Human First, Always
At Smart FT, we understand that successful projects hinge on trusted relationships rather than merely technical compliance. This belief guides every interaction we have. Our teams aren’t simply sourced from traditional trades—they bring hands-on experience from various demanding environments such as infrastructure, defence, rail, and building management systems.
This real-world experience fosters clear communication, adaptability, and a level-headed approach under pressure, attributes highly valued by our clients. Our promise is simple yet powerful: clear communication, dependable service, and flexible delivery, even under the most challenging circumstances.
Choosing the Right Contractor
Cost savings may initially appeal when choosing an electrical contractor, but lower upfront prices frequently result in delays, compliance risks, and costly rework. Smart FT’s commitment to detailed scoping, robust compliance, and accountability ensures the long-term reliability and safety of our installations.
