Temporary Power & Builder’s Supply — Sydney Level 2 Electrician

Temporary power keeps a job moving — a safe, metered, network-approved supply for a construction site, a major renovation, an event, or any situation that needs power before (or instead of) a permanent connection. Installing a temporary builder’s supply (TBS) and connecting it to the Ausgrid network is Level 2 ASP work. Sydney Electrical Service is a licensed Ausgrid Level 2 ASP (licence 236351C). We supply, install, connect, relocate and remove temporary supplies across Sydney — builder’s poles and pillars, site sheds and event power — and lodge the Certificate of Compliance on completion. Available 24/7.

What's Involved

Temporary power work we carry out as a Level 2 ASP:

• Builder’s temporary supply (TBS). A temporary pole or pillar with a meter and RCD-protected outlets for a construction or renovation site.
• Network connection & metering. Connecting the temporary supply to the Ausgrid network with compliant metering.
• Event & short-term power. Temporary supply for markets, events and short-duration works.
• Single or three-phase. Temporary three-phase supply for cranes, hoists and heavy site equipment.
• Relocation & removal. Moving the supply as the build progresses, then removing/abolishing it once the permanent connection is live.

As a Level 2 ASP we handle the network connection and disconnection ourselves, so the site is powered without waiting on a separate network crew.

Reasons to Use This Service

• Licensed Ausgrid Level 2 ASP (236351C) — authorised to connect and disconnect temporary supplies to the network.
• RCD-protected, AS/NZS 3012 compliant site supplies — safe for trades from day one.
• Single or three-phase, plus relocation and removal as the build progresses.
• Fixed-price quotes, Certificate of Compliance (CCEW) lodged, and 24/7 availability across Sydney.

Our Process

1. Assess the site. We confirm the phases, load, connection point and how long you need power.
2. Fixed-price quote. Clear scope including the network connection and metering.
3. Install the temporary supply. Builder's pole/pillar, meter and RCD-protected outlets.
4. Connect to the network. As a Level 2 ASP we energise and meter the supply.
5. Certify (then relocate/remove later). We lodge the CCEW, and return to move or remove the supply as the job needs.

NSW Compliance

Installing and connecting a temporary builder’s supply to the network is Level 2 Accredited Service Provider (ASP) work. Sydney Electrical Service is an accredited Ausgrid Level 2 ASP (licence 236351C). Temporary supplies are RCD-protected and built to AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS 3012 (electrical installations — construction and demolition sites) and Ausgrid’s rules, and a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) is lodged on completion.

Pricing Approach

We quote temporary power as a fixed price once we’ve confirmed the phases, the location and connection point, and how long the supply is needed. Call 0433 462 902 for a fixed-price quote and we’ll work in with your site program.

Sydney-Specific Considerations

Sydney’s constant building and renovation activity means temporary builder’s supply is one of the most common Level 2 jobs we do. We coordinate the TBS with your builder and the Ausgrid network across metro Sydney, and handle the changeover when the permanent supply is connected.

   Book the temporary builder's supply before trades need power — it needs a network connection, not just a power board.

3. Book a Level 2 ASP
   Only an accredited Level 2 provider can connect a temporary supply to the network. Call 0433 462 902.
4. We install, connect & certify
   We set up the pole, meter and outlets, energise from the network and lodge the Certificate of Compliance.
