What is Temporary Power?
Temporary power (also called builder's supply or construction power) provides electricity to a construction site before the permanent electrical system is installed. This typically involves a temporary meter board installed at the property boundary, connected to the electricity network. The builder's board provides power outlets for tools, lighting, and equipment used during construction. Once the permanent switchboard is installed and connected, the temporary supply is removed.

We can typically install the temporary board within 1-2 days. Connection by the electricity distributor may take an additional 5-10 business days depending on their schedule.

Standard builder's boards include 10A and 15A outlets. We can add 3-phase outlets or additional circuits based on your site requirements.
Do I need temporary power for a renovation?
If the existing power supply will be disconnected during renovation, temporary power may be needed. Often we can maintain existing supply during renovation work.
Who pays for the temporary power usage?
The builder or property owner is responsible for electricity usage on the temporary meter. We install the board; the distributor installs the meter and manages billing.
