30 May 2011 - day 75 Electrical Rough in

Today met with electrician for electrical rough in.

Ask the electrician about the quotation of underground power, it is only for the main house, quoted at $1085 for 20 meter run of 16mm 3phase and plus 10mm tarif and 6 mm ground with 40mm heavy duty conduit. That is mean $51/meter run. Think this is too much, as far as I can remember at the electrical shop it cost around 32/m run for retail. I will check once again at the shop then query to the office and asked about credit for our allowance to the normal 10m power inlet.

How will I ask them to quote me for another 60meters to distribute to the shed?
I think I will do this after handover with other electrician.

When I was at the site with the electrican, the builder arrived with a guy, I think he bring one of his prospective client to see at the project, even he didn't said anything about the guest.

After brief through most power points, data points, switches etc with electrician, I went to the electrical shop, finding out that the prices of my preferred down lights has been increase by $2 each, not good, I need to buy 76 pcs of it.

At the afternoon I went back to the site with the kids, finding out that the tv antena has been installed, but at the north roof site, where all my solar panels will be mounted.
Again wrong location, location, location.
After wrong HSTP location, now tv antena. I rang the office and told about this, why they didn't ask me about the position, also I have already given them the layout of the solar panels position. Wrote email to rectify it and not to charge the cost to me.
I have to relocate the HSTP location (dig the and relocate the sewer pipes) on my cost, not for the tv antena again.
Hope they will understand.
