Pricing guide

Cost is driven by system complexity, whether existing wiring and power can be reused, and any compliance or multi‑unit coordination required. A straightforward like‑for‑like replacement is typically less costly than a first‑time install that needs new cabling or wall chasing. After‑hours attendance and difficult access can also increase the final cost.

  • Intercom type and features

    Basic audio units are usually simpler than video systems or setups that include controllers, switches or integration with other building systems.

  • Existing wiring and power availability

    If existing mounts and wiring can be reused the job is typically quicker, whereas first‑time installs that need new power or low‑voltage runs increase labour and materials.

  • Extent of cabling and structural work

    Wall chasing, long cable runs or significant riser work add time and materials compared with surface‑mount or short‑run installations.

  • Multi-unit and compliance requirements

    Strata, commercial or compliance‑driven projects usually include extra coordination, commissioning and paperwork that increase scope and time on site.

  • Access, timing and after-hours attendance

    Restricted access, site complexity or work outside standard hours typically attracts higher rates and can extend the schedule.

Frequently asked questions

Do intercom installers need a licence?
Yes — licensing is mandatory for this trade. Where compliance or certificate sign‑off is required, installers will usually allow time for commissioning and provide the necessary paperwork as part of a project profile.
Will I need new power or cabling installed?
If an existing system and wiring are reusable, replacement is generally simpler. A first‑time install often requires new power or low‑voltage cabling and may involve wall chasing, while major electrical work is typically quoted separately.
How is multi‑unit work different to a home install?
Multi‑unit or commercial installs usually involve additional coordination, commissioning and compliance allowances, which increases administrative time. Large riser cabling and multi‑trade coordination may push the scope beyond a standard residential install, so a site survey is often recommended.
What should I prepare before installation?
Tell the installer if you plan to supply the device, as customer‑supplied equipment typically reduces material needs. Also ensure clear access to mounting locations and existing wiring, and flag any access constraints or after‑hours requirements when requesting quotes.
