You can buy them at bunnings for $35, I have seen them at the wholesaler for around $25. A builder will charge way more than that.

Also, afaik (if its like the HPM one) the Legrand one requires an additional unit that sits in your wall cavity to provide power to the USB slots. I'm thinking of getting the sockitz ones for my island bench where there isn't space for another unit behind the GPO as the draws will get in the way. It's also gone through all the AUS/NZ safety certifications and standards required (infact, if you followed the whirlpool form that took a good part of 6 months). I also doubt if any of the volume builders supply these - I know I asked mine, they even wrote it on my PWC/Colours selection thingy but yeah, not a chance apparently. Probably a good thing, they probably would have sourced them and added 100% markup. Oh, and it's an Australian product/invention as well if people care about that sorta thing.
