Hi guys,

Anyone know if there is a minimum amount of Public Liability insurance to become an electrical contractor. I cant see anything about it on the OCBA website.

Can anyone recomend a provider?

Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon I use these http://www.imar.com.au/

You don't need PL insurance to get your contractors licence in SA

I got my contractors licence first and set up a couple of months later.

I took out 10m as One of the companys i have a contract with ask for it.

It was the best deal i could find and you can pay monthly for no extra.

A few of my mates use them as well.

Mention me when they ring you back you might get a discount

Hi jon looked at one of your old posts about contractor rates

$40 per hour ?
I got $38 per hour of ODG on the books
$36 of Boffa And Russo

I pay my TA $50 per hour

Don't sell yourself short Plumbers charge about $120 per hour min of 4 hours

Cheers for the info Lee, most usefull. What is it with plumbers, charge what they like dont they?
$38 on the cards? thats not bad eh, how did you find going out on your own? Are you mostly doing your own stuff or subbing around?

Thanks,
Jon.
