Hi All. New to Homeone forum.
Has anybody had a recent experience with being forced to have Tiger Tails installed on power lines out front of build.
I have just got quote from Metricon and Ausgrid. Looks as though total will come to about 17k. This includes power outage to put on and power outage in street to take off. With the rental included. I almost fell over, this is apparently due to the Live Low Voltage Pause at Ausgrid at moment. Looked at other volume builders in area with identical set backs to me and none have tiger tails installed. It seems as though Metricon are the only builders requesting this safety feature, unsure why as my setbacks are about 5 metres from boundary
and power pole is a further 3.5 metres towards street. Height of lines are about 7 to 8 metres, all very standard for mine and surrounding area. Had I known this was coming I would have selected different builder. Any thoughts or similar experiences.
