    About This Service

    Your Builder's Pole, Supplied & Installed

    A builder's pole is a freestanding temporary power pole installed on a construction site to carry the incoming service mains and temporary switchboard for the duration of the build. Rather than connecting the TBS directly to a building structure that may not yet exist — or that will be demolished — the builder's pole provides a stable, compliant point of attachment for the temporary supply. The pole must be installed to Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy specifications including correct height, setback, and safety clearances, and requires a Level 2 ASP for installation and connection.

    Builder's poles are standard on knockdown-rebuild sites across Sydney where the existing structure is demolished before the new build begins, leaving no attachment point for overhead service mains. They are equally common on greenfield lots in growth corridors like Marsden Park, Box Hill, and Oran Park where no infrastructure exists yet. We supply the pole — no need to source separately — and install it to DNSP specifications including the temporary switchboard enclosure, metering provision, and all required safety equipment.

    How We Work

    Builder's Pole Installation Process

    1

    Site Assessment

    We confirm pole location, setback, clearances, and DNSP connection point relative to the site boundary.

    We submit the builder's pole works application to Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy with pole specifications and site plan.

    Pole Supply

    We supply a treated timber or steel pole to DNSP specifications — correct height and class for your network area.

    4

    Installation

    The pole is bored and set, temporary switchboard enclosure mounted, service mains terminated, and all safety equipment fitted.

    Common Scenarios

    When Do You Need a Builder's Pole?

    01

    Knockdown-rebuild with no existing structure for TBS attachment

    After demolition, there is no building structure to attach overhead service mains — a freestanding builder's pole is required.

    02

    New build on vacant lot with no existing supply infrastructure

    Greenfield lots with no prior connection point require a builder's pole as the attachment point for temporary supply.

    03

    Site where existing supply has been permanently disconnected before construction begins

    Permanent disconnection for demolition leaves no active connection — a builder's pole establishes a new temporary supply point.

    04

    Construction site requiring a freestanding supply point away from the building footprint

    Sites where the building footprint or excavation zone prevents attachment to a structure need a pole positioned outside the work area.

    05

    DNSP requiring a builder's pole as a condition of TBS approval

    Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy may require a freestanding pole where overhead reticulation or site conditions do not allow direct building attachment.
