Renovations and extensions.
A renovation is the one time wiring is cheap to change, because the walls are open. Kayden does the rough-in before the linings go on, then the fit-off once they're painted, and works to the builder's program so nobody's waiting on the sparky.
In short
Renovation electrical work is the rough-in before the walls are lined and the fit-off after they're painted, plus any switchboard changes the new circuits need. We wire renovations and extensions across Dungog, Gresford and the Hunter, working to the builder's program.

He'll also tell you what the renovation means for the rest of the house. Adding a bathroom, a kitchen and air conditioning to a 1970s board usually means the board needs upgrading too, and it's better to know that at quote stage.

Questions about renovations and extensions
When should I book an electrician for a renovation?
Early, before the walls are lined. Rough-in happens after framing and before plaster, so Kayden needs to be in the builder's program from the start.
Will my renovation need a switchboard upgrade?
Often, in older houses. A new kitchen, bathroom or air conditioning adds circuits an old board can't take. Kayden checks the board at quote stage so it isn't a surprise.
Do I get a certificate for the electrical work?
Yes. A Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work is lodged at completion and you get a copy. Your builder usually needs one too.
