The traditional Queensland temporary power pole design. Metal stay stabilised, cost-effective, and proven across thousands of building sites.
For residential builders, getting power to site quickly and reliably is non-negotiable. Our builder's site power poles are the go-to solution for new home builds, knockdown rebuilds, and renovation projects across South East Queensland. We've been powering building sites since 1960 — we know the process inside and out.
Every builder's pole installation includes:
You choose the phase — single phase for standard residential builds or three phase for larger projects — and we handle the rest.
We work with volume builders, owner-builders, and individual contractors across Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, and Ipswich. Our streamlined booking process means you can have a pole in the ground within 48 hours of confirmation, keeping your build on schedule from day one.
Every installation is completed to Australian electrical standards with full documentation to keep your site compliant.
We confirm pole and stay anchor positions. The pole needs clear space for metal support stays — roughly 3m radius.
Our crew installs the pole with metal support stays and anchors. The meter box is fitted and the EWR is lodged.
You call your retailer to open an account. Energex then attends to connect the overhead service line from the street to the pole. This is the network connection — not yet live power.
Your retailer's meter provider attends a few days after Energex to fit the meter. Power only starts flowing once the meter is in.
Once permanent power is connected, we remove the pole, stays, and anchors — restoring the site.
We service all major regions across South East Queensland with fast turnaround times.
