Changes & cancellations
We’re always happy to reschedule your appointment at no extra cost. If you need to cancel, please give us at least 24 hours’ notice. Cancellations made within 24 hours of your scheduled time may incur a $75 + GST cancellation fee (one hour at our standard rate) (at our discretion). For all quoted or estimated jobs, a 50% deposit is required upfront before work begins.
Leaving the site
Our technicians treat your home or business like our own:
  • We will ensure the site is safe.
  • Any doors or windows opened during work will be secured.
  • Project-related mess will be cleaned up unless you request otherwise.
We carry a reasonable stock of commonly used items in our vans. However, if additional materials are needed, our technicians may need to leave the site to collect them, travel time will be included in our charges.
Progress invoices on larger projects
For larger projects, progress invoices may be issued to cover labour and materials as work advances:
  • These are typically sent at the end of each stage.
  • We may also issue progress invoices if there is a delay in the project.
Unpaid accounts
If you are experiencing financial hardship, please contact us immediately to discuss a payment plan.
  • Accounts outstanding more than 7 days past the due date may incur a $65 + GST fee.
  • Unpaid accounts may be referred to debt collection, with all associated costs added to your account.
  • Interest may be charged on accounts overdue by more than 30 days.
Materials & parts
Cable, faceplates, RJ45 patch leads, fibre pigtails and other consumables are charged at our standard supply rates. We’ll always tell you upfront if a job needs specialty parts (cabinet fans, managed switches, fibre tray, etc.) and we’ll get your approval before ordering.
Payment methods
We accept bank transfer and credit card. Invoices are due on the 20th of the month following the work, unless otherwise agreed. Tradie discount is available for verified Kiwi tradespeople, just ask.

Got a question?

The questions Auckland homeowners and business owners ask before they book us.

Do you charge a call-out fee?
Yes. Every service callout starts with a first-hour charge of $75 + GST in business hours, or $125 + GST after hours. It covers the callout, travel and the first hour of work; after that we charge by the half hour. Quotes for new installs are free.
Is the hourly rate the same for residential and commercial jobs?
Yes. Callout work is $75 + GST for the first hour, then $95 an hour, Monday to Friday 7:30am to 5pm, or $125 then $165 an hour after hours, whether it is a home, an office or a commercial site. Bigger projects (50+ outlets, fibre backbones, multi-site) get a fixed price after a free site survey.
What counts as “same-day” or “after-hours”?
After hours is anything outside Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 5pm, including evenings, weekends and public holidays: $125 + GST for the first hour, then $165 an hour. Same-day jobs during business hours are charged at the normal business rates.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel inside 40 km of central Auckland is included in the first-hour charge, plus a $15 + GST fuel surcharge per visit. Outside 40 km we charge $0.90/km or travel time at the hourly rate, and tell you the expected charge before we set off.
How much does it cost to install a network point or data outlet?
A single Cat6 outlet starts from $480 supplied & installed, and each extra outlet from $195, depending on cable length, ceiling/wall access and termination at the patch panel. We can give you a fixed price the moment we see the site, the free quote takes 15 minutes.
How much does fibre termination & testing cost?
Single-mode and multi-mode fusion splices are $60–$95 per connector depending on type (LC, SC, ST). All fibre jobs include OTDR test results and a printed certification report. For backbone runs we quote a fixed price after a site walk-through.
How much does CCTV installation cost?
Every CCTV system is quoted in writing after a free site survey. We install Hikvision, including its HiLook range, and camera count, resolution and cabling drive the price. Pricing always includes config, mobile app setup and a handover.
How much does access control / electronic locks cost?
Single-door card-reader access is quoted in writing after a free site survey, supplied and installed (lock, controller, reader, exit button, power supply, basic config). Multi-door systems are quoted, we’ll factor in REX, fail-safe vs fail-secure, fire interface and remote management.
Do I have to pay a deposit?
For one-off hourly visits, no, you pay on completion. For any quoted or estimated job, fit-outs, structured cabling, fibre backbones, CCTV installs, we ask for a 50% deposit on acceptance so we can order your gear, with the balance due on completion. The same terms are set out in our Terms and Conditions.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes: 12 months on workmanship across all installs. Manufacturer warranties on the hardware (NVRs, switches, locks, cameras) sit on top of that, typically 2–5 years. If something fails inside the workmanship window, we come back and fix it on us.
Are you Site Safe / Impac pre-qualified?
Yes, we hold current Site Safe certification and Impac pre-qualification, plus $10M public liability cover. For commercial & construction sites we can supply our SSSP, JSAs and induction docs straight to your H&S inbox.
What areas do you service?
All of Auckland: Central, North Shore, West, East and South. We regularly work as far north as Orewa and as far south as Pukekohe. Outside the 40 km radius, travel is charged at $0.90/km or as a flat travel quote.
What happens if I cancel?
Reschedules are always free. Cancellations made within 24 hours of your scheduled appointment may incur a $75 + GST cancellation fee (one hour at our standard rate) (at our discretion). For quoted jobs with a 50% deposit, the deposit covers materials already ordered, we’ll always work with you on a fair refund if circumstances change.
Do you do free site surveys?
Yes, for quotes. For new installs and anything you would like quoted in writing, we visit free of charge and email a fixed-price quote within 24 hours. Service and repair callouts are charged at the callout rate, including visits that only find the fault.
Are prices GST-inclusive?
All prices on this page are GST-exclusive. GST (15%) is added to your final invoice. Quoted jobs always show both the GST-exclusive line items and the GST-inclusive total so there are no surprises.

Not sure a quote you already have is complete? Our free guide walks through the 8 questions to ask before you sign a cabling quote, what should be itemised, what testing to expect, and what a real warranty looks like.
