What changes the price

Tradies don't pull a price out of thin air — these are the things they're checking on-site.

  • Number of circuits
  • Whether the meter box needs enlarging
  • Compliance with AS/NZS 3000:2018
  • Council inspection requirements
  • Asbestos-backed board removal (older homes)
