About Commecs

What does Commecs do? 

Commecs is a specialist communications contractor designing and delivering complete fibre, data, structured, wireless and network cabling infrastructure solutions. We handle everything from initial site assessment and design through to civil pathways, cable installation, splicing, testing, commissioning and ongoing maintenance. 

Fibre isn’t an add-on for us, it’s a core part of our capability. We own our own fusion splicing equipment rather than relying on hired-in operators, and we bring pathway, cabling, fibre and wireless work together under one team. That means one point of accountability for the outcome, instead of clients having to manage separate civil, cabling, fibre and commissioning contractors. 

Our team brings 15+ years of carrier-level telecommunications experience, built on the foundational expertise of working on a carrier-grade national fibre optic network. 

Commecs is based in Perth, Western Australia, and delivers projects across WA with the ability to support projects nationally. 

Both. We work closely with clients, consultants, builders, technology providers and project teams to deliver communication systems that are reliable, scalable and aligned with operational requirements. 

Our Services 

What communications infrastructure services do you provide?  

Our core services cover fibre optic solutions, structured cabling systems, Wi-Fi surveys and wireless installation, communications rooms and racks, network upgrades, testing and fault finding, maintenance and support, and design, planning and project management. See our Services page for the full detail on each

Yes. We deliver cabling, fibre and equipment installation. Cabling capability under one team reduces the interface risk that comes from managing separate contractors for each stage. 

Yes, this is one of our core capabilities. Most of our projects involve a mix of structured copper and data cabling alongside fibre backbone and fusion splicing work. 

Yes. We offer Wi-Fi surveys, coverage heatmapping and predictive wireless design, followed by access point installation, cabling and post-installation validation. 

Yes. We regularly work on network upgrades, capacity expansions, equipment relocations and legacy cabling removal, including moves, additions and changes on networks we didn’t originally install. 
Yes. Maintenance services can be delivered as individual callouts, programmed works or under an ongoing service arrangement, depending on what the site needs. 

Fibre Optic Expertise 

What fibre optic services do you offer?  

Yes. We own our fusion splicing equipment rather than hiring it in, which means the most technical stage of a fibre project stays in-house rather than being subcontracted out. 

We carry out OTDR testing, insertion-loss and optical power testing, and fibre certification, and provide clients with the test results and as-constructed documentation as part of handover. 

Yes. We carry out fibre network repairs and restoration, existing fibre network audits, fault finding, and relocations or capacity upgrades on networks that are already in place. 

Our Process 

What does your project process look like?  

Every project runs through the same seven stages: Assess, Design, Plan, Install, Test and Commission, Document and Handover, and Maintain and Upgrade. The scale changes depending on the project, but the discipline stays the same. See our How We Work page for the full breakdown. 

Yes. We plan and coordinate upgrades, migrations and cutovers within operating facilities, with shutdown and cutover works carefully staged to minimise disruption to your business or site activities. 

Yes. On completion you’ll receive test results, labelling schedules, asset information, as-constructed records and full completion documentation. 

Yes. Whether you need a complete end-to-end package or a specialist component of a larger project, we maintain clear communication and accountability throughout delivery either way. 

Where and Who We Work With

What industries do you work with?

We’ve delivered projects for mining, government and infrastructure clients across WA. Our capability is also well suited to commercial and industrial environments. 

We deliver projects across WA, including regional and remote sites where required. 
Yes. Our positioning specifically includes government clients alongside mining and infrastructure work. 

Data centres are an area we’re actively growing into, building on our fibre and structured cabling capability. 

Safety, Compliance and Quality

Are your installations compliant with Australian standards and regulations?

Yes. Our work is planned and delivered in accordance with applicable legislation, communications cabling requirements, industry standards, manufacturer requirements, project specifications and client safety systems. 

Yes, Commecs holds the required cabling registrations and endorsements to carry out this work. 
Our project controls include project-specific risk assessments, safe work method statements, pre-start and toolbox processes, inspection and test plans, calibrated testing equipment, and material traceability, backed by full test result recording and as-constructed documentation. 

Maintenance, Support and Getting Started

Do you offer emergency or fault response services?
Yes, emergency fault response is part of our maintenance capability, alongside scheduled inspections and preventative maintenance. 
Yes. We can tailor maintenance to individual sites, portfolios or project requirements, delivered as callouts, programmed works or under an ongoing service arrangement.
