Pricing guide
The final price typically depends on the number of points, whether the job is a simple replacement or requires new cable runs, and the specification and testing required for the installation. Callout fees and hourly labour are applied separately, and after-hours attendance typically increases the overall cost.
Number of data points
More outlets or larger quantities usually increase labour time and overall scope.
New runs vs replacement
Replacing faceplates or re-terminating existing cabling is generally simpler than installing new cable runs through walls or ceilings.
Cable category and hardware
Higher-spec or commercial-grade cabling, patch panels and rack work typically add complexity and time.
Testing and certification required
Formal testing or certification adds diagnostic and reporting time and is often optional unless specified.
Site access and conditions
Restricted access, concealed routes, roof or wall chasing and difficult locations usually make the job take longer.
