    Hey guys


    Just a question for anyone building


    We're in the process of a large extention and monderising of a small cottage which has been unoccupied for years.


    My question is am I responsible for the electricity in this property or does the builder over see this


    Thanks

    Does the cottage currently have power?

    Hi Paul


    Yes it does


    The electrician came in and put a new meter box in before the works started


    Prior to that it had power.

    My advise is to supply the builder with power. It will be a small cost as tools use very little power. The highest power usage of the build will be some heaters to dry plaster.


    If he has to provide power he could charge you for generators etc. If you fight him and say he should have included it in the bill it could turn ugly, if you need any extras he could get Petty and hammer you.
