Electrical for renovations and new builds in the Perth Hills

The stages of the electrical work

• Rough-in: cabling run through the frames and ceilings before the linings go on.
• Fit-off: switches, power points, lights, appliance connections and the switchboard are installed and connected.
• Testing and paperwork: the work is tested, and the required compliance paperwork is provided for applicable work.

Plan before the walls close

Changing your mind is cheap before the linings go on and expensive afterwards. It's worth deciding these early:

• Where power points and switches go, including the kitchen, laundry and any outdoor areas.
• The lighting layout, inside and out.
• Data and communications cabling.
• Power for air conditioning.
• A switchboard with room for what you might add next.

What affects the cost

The price of electrical work for a renovation or new build depends on the size of the job and the stage it's at. What affects the cost:

• The size of the home and the number of power points, switches and lights.
• Whether it's a rough-in and fit-off, or only one stage.
• The switchboard, and extra circuits for appliances or air conditioning.
• Data cabling, smoke alarms and other extras.
• Access, the building program and how many visits the job needs.
