Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 14, 2019 12:00 am Hey guys, I'm currently in the process of getting a preliminary quote from a builder and I'm being charged $2795 for "Provide Fibre Optic Connection (NBN) including Garage Hub and 3 internal data points." I have a NBN pit in the nature strip of my block and the builder inclusions mention "Fibre (NBN) run in and draw string (for connection by others.)" I think this is a super excessive amount considering that NBN do the installation for free. Is this something I can take as a credible charge?

You definitely need the conduit inside your house and the data points. But the conduit from the NBN pit to your outside of the garage, you can dig it yourself. All you need is a shovel and on a rainy days for the soil to be soft. You only have to dig 30cm deep. But at the end if won't save you much. Recently I have NBN dig a new conduit for me from the pit on the nature strip to my garage. I was expecting they come with digger. It was 3 blokes with shovels! LOL . And due to rain, the soil was soft. So it was easy job.

So NBN is not doing much at all. 3 48367 Hi all I'm currently building a duplex in Sydney and we need to do a new water connection to the second unit.
