A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Before we get started.
Can you support solar and battery installations?
Yes. We can assess the relevant Level 2 supply, connection or metering works associated with your installation. Send the system and site details so the scope is based on the actual requirements.
Who arranges the meter?
Responsibilities depend on the installation and applicable metering arrangements. These should be confirmed with the retailer or metering provider and agreed as part of the job planning.
Illustrative scope structure — not a quotation or technical design
A clearer quote starts with clear boundaries.
This example shows how a switchboard and supply project can be described. The actual equipment, ratings, connection arrangements and inclusions are assessed and confirmed for each job.
Inclusions
The specified Level 2 supply alterations, agreed consumer mains work, defined switchboard interface and the metering tasks listed in the actual quotation.
Exclusions
Anything expressly allocated elsewhere, such as downstream circuit connections, building repairs, excavation or reinstatement. The final quote states the actual exclusions.
Assumptions
The agreed access, installation information and site conditions used to prepare the quote. Unknown or concealed conditions are identified where relevant.
Dependencies
Required approvals, metering arrangements, the partner’s installation being ready and other contractors completing their allocated work.
An item being essential to the overall project does not mean it is included in every contractor’s price. Confirm the owner of each interface before booking.
