Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Cabling 2Nov 13, 2015 2:15 pm I've heard of people doing this informally with the consent of the site supervisor, but I can also imagine some supervisors knocking it back. With builders it seems to vary, and some won't allow it. Re: Cabling 3Nov 14, 2015 1:26 pm Heidi-Lee Has anyone managed to negotiate getting your own licenced cabler to run cables for alarm etc during a build? As a licenced data cabler, best I could do was to get the builders sparky to install cable I've provided, to my specifications, at a cost of around $25 per point. Me to terminate after handover. My points are a combination of CAT6, siamese RG6 for foxtel and RG6 for TV to about 25 locations. Plus also had agreement for them to install C-bus, me providing all hardware, them running and terminating power cables and me c-bus cables after handover. Again about $25 per switch location for labour, plus a bit extra for the switchboard work. So end result still $10-15k cheaper than having them do the lot, but still a few thousand more than me and my sparky mate doing the lot which would have been my preference. Re: Cabling 4Nov 14, 2015 1:48 pm I couldn't so had conduits and blank plates installed instead, I'll get the cables run later. |
