metricon vaccaro quoted us $720 for the connection. you need level 2 electrician to do the connection, we called around outside metricon and their price ranged from 600-700...but they said they need to see this and that, so we thought since there is not much price difference, and metricon electrician already knows what we have and what we don't, so we just signed and paid 700 to metricon...less hassle. hope that helps Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 3712Dec 01, 2016 1:12 pm vdn333 hi orpheus... metricon quoted us $700 for the connection. you need level 2 electrician to do the connection, we called around outside metricon and their price ranged from 600-700...but they said they need to see this and that, so we thought since there is not much price difference, and metricon electrician already knows what we have and what we don't, so we just signed and paid 700 to metricon...less hassle. hope that helps Oh cool, that price is not too bad. I was fearing around $2k. Also did you have to organise with the energy companies (I'm looking at AGL for both power and gas) to supply the electrical meter so the electrician can install it as part of the $700 fee? @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 3713Dec 01, 2016 1:26 pm Orpheus vdn333 hi orpheus... metricon quoted us $700 for the connection. you need level 2 electrician to do the connection, we called around outside metricon and their price ranged from 600-700...but they said they need to see this and that, so we thought since there is not much price difference, and metricon electrician already knows what we have and what we don't, so we just signed and paid 700 to metricon...less hassle. hope that helps Oh cool, that price is not too bad.

Also did you have to organise with the energy companies (I'm looking at AGL for both power and gas) to supply the electrical meter so the electrician can install it as part of the $700 fee? @Orph Yeah, we were suggested to get a energy company right at the beginning of our build which we did, it was with AGL for power and gas. As for the electrical meter being supplied by energy company, I'm not to sure about that. vaccao's price( is $720 not $700) includes this is what the quotations for connections of electrical works say: _______________________________ 1.underground pillar Connection of electrical service cables. 2.supply & installation of energy Authority meter in meter board 3.Electrical supply authority establishment fee. "it may take up to 15 working days for connection to be done upon completion of the following works. 1. Final electrical fit outs. 2.Payment of metering connections 3. NMI/Job Number has been received . 4. Underground works has been completed. ________________________________ important note: Vaccaro said to me you would want to do it asap as the industry will close for Christmas for about 3 weeks and it can take unto 2 weeks before they start the job after payments. I paid last Friday and i still havent got an answer to when they will do the Job as today.
