Or try it on the web →This power point installation quote template is for Australian electricians quoting standard GPO jobs. It suits everything from adding a single point in a bedroom to a multi-point kitchen fit-out. The biggest mistakes are underquoting labour for tricky access, especially in brick walls, and forgetting to factor in travel time for a small job. A single GPO install can become unprofitable if you don't account for the drive. This template helps you price every line item correctly, from the GPO itself to the cable runs and wall clips, ensuring you don't lose your margin.
How to Price Labour and Materials for GPO Installs
Labour is the biggest variable. Installing a GPO in a plasterboard wall with good roof or floor access might take 30-45 minutes. The same job on an internal double-brick wall could take 2-3 hours, requiring chasing, conduit, and patching. Your labour rate should reflect this. Materials are more fixed. A standard Clipsal 2000 series double GPO costs about $12 from Middy's. Add $2-$3 per metre for 2.5mm twin and earth cable from Bunnings Trade. A simple plasterboard install might be quoted at $180, while the brick wall equivalent could be over $400. A quoting app like QuoteMate lets you save different labour rates for each scenario.
What Gets Left Off a GPO Installation Quote
Forgetting to check the existing circuit load is a common mistake. If the circuit is already maxed out, you'll need to quote for a new run back to the switchboard and a new circuit breaker. This adds significant cost. Also, specify who handles plaster patching and painting. If you don't do it, state that clearly. For brick walls, always include line items for conduit and the extra time for wall chasing. Finally, confirm the new work will be covered by a safety switch (RCD). If not, you must quote to install one at the switchboard to comply with AS/NZS 3000.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, if the circuit you're connecting to isn't already protected. All new socket outlets must have RCD protection under AS/NZS 3000. Forgetting to check and quote for a new RCBO at the switchboard can cost you $50-$80 in materials plus an hour of labour.
The GPO unit itself is the main difference. A standard Clipsal double GPO might be $12, but a USB-C version like the Clipsal Iconic can be over $70 from an electrical wholesaler. The installation labour is identical, so just add the higher material cost plus your markup to the quote.
For one power point, a minimum charge is essential. Many sparkies set a minimum of one hour's labour, around $90-$120, plus a service vehicle fee of $50 to cover travel costs. State this minimum charge clearly on the quote so the customer knows the base price.
