It should detail the charges. You will need to do some estimating and some calculations. Then charge the builder the same plus a bit. I suggest you get an estimate of the total cost while the builder is on site and then get full payment immediately otherwise you will probably never get any money. It is NOT polite for the builder to ask without offering payment. It is NOT polite for your boyfriend to give the builder electricity for free without asking you first. If this is normal behaviour then find another boyfriend. Knowing builders and tradies as I do then I would not allow them to access electricity or water. Remember water costs money as well and when people get stuff for free they usually think they can use lots and lots of it. They don't care.

Very true Re: Builders 8May 10, 2023 5:45 pm Ardo Well charge 2.4kw/h at your peak rate. 2.4 x 8 x .6=$11.50 Round to $10 a day.
