Hello everyone!

My wife and I are building a prefabricated house with a basement this year. The basement construction is scheduled for week 14 (end of March/beginning of April). We are currently in the process of arranging the utility connections. During the selection meeting with our builder, the topic of temporary construction power came up: either we coordinate the provision ourselves, or they handle it. Of course, not for free...

My question is: Can I, as a private homeowner, apply for temporary construction power, or does it have to be done through an electrician? Has anyone had experience with this? We would like to save the 400 EUR that the builder charges for managing it...

Thanks for your answers!

We had to search for a long time before we could find an electrician willing to take on the job. The cost didn’t matter anymore at that point... I believe we paid between 1000 and 1500.

Hello,


No offense – but you come across as quite irritated. If there had been a “reasonable and detailed” discussion about additional construction costs, you certainly wouldn’t be asking about the temporary construction power meter, especially whether you can apply for it yourself.

It wasn’t meant to come across as “irritated” at all! The options for applying were not discussed, only that there are costs involved. But if you can save a few euros...


So is it best to let the construction company handle it?

I don’t think it will be any cheaper.
