Things to consider before you book
The local conditions that shape the job, the best time of year to book, and what to sort out before you choose a electrician.
Strata Area
Manuka is predominantly apartments and units — body corporate approval is often needed before external work can start. Check with your owners corporation early in the process.
Body Corp Sign-Off May Be Needed
