Dude - Your builder should have their own generators. The temporary supply is usually intended/used for self build. The ESb will not put in a temp supply until you have the wall plate in for the Fuse box.
Also, it ws 1300 for me 2 years ago, however this would depend on your distance from the existing esb supply. if its over 500m, then the cost goes up.
As for the ESB - bunch of usless *******,
Don't let them hold you up to start the building, as they will.
Again the trademen should have their own generators, and it's only really on 2nd fitting that you need the ESB.
|Good luck
