Doug
Owner & Director

Doug and Deb purchased Poles and Holes in 2002 as its third owners. Doug is the owner and director of the Capalaba business, which was established in 1960 and supplies temporary power poles, portable toilets and site security cameras.

A Gold Coast temporary-power enquiry needs the actual site address and connection details. A suburb name alone does not establish the delivery price, network capacity or a live-power date.

Our Gold Coast service-area page covers the services available by location. Use temporary power pole hire to compare equipment and current catalogue prices.

Show the street connection and site access

Send photos of the site entrance and nearby network connection point. Tell us whether the area has overhead lines or underground mains, if known. We review the required configuration and proposed position with the site details.

The pole truck needs a suitable clear route to the installation area. Raise gates, parked vehicles, restricted roads and construction access controls in the enquiry. Availability and access are confirmed before scheduling.

Match the pole to the project

A new house, commercial fitout and renovation can use different equipment. Ask the responsible electrician to assess the load and whether single-phase or three-phase is needed. The building category alone does not decide the supply.

Our available stayed temporary poles are galvanised steel, with three metal supports. Allow for their footprint throughout the build. Stayless poles are coming soon; they are not an available solution for a current booking.

Confirm delivery for your address

The quote shows equipment hire separately from pole-truck delivery. The standard delivery zone is measured from Capalaba; a site being within the Gold Coast service area does not place it inside that zone. Any distance surcharge is calculated for the address.

Our electricians carry out the connection work and their visits are charged to you. Network and metering charges are confirmed separately. Traffic control for the Energex connection is free but extends timing. Use the cost comparison guide to compare the full quote.

Plan around separate appointments

Give us both the preferred installation date and the date your trades need power. Delivery, network connection and metering are different stages. Ask the relevant providers for their appointments rather than assuming a region-wide turnaround.

If work is near a busy road or overhead lines, identify it early for assessment. A generic local article cannot establish the permits, charges or electrical clearances for the site.

Send a complete enquiry

Include the address, plan, access photos and assessed supply requirements. Describe any fixed project dates or changing work areas. We can then review the installation and explain the quote and next steps for that site.
