Seeking advice Victoria Australia

Hi, I’m seeking some advice regarding a quote I received from my builder to upgrade the main switchboard and add safety switches to sub-circuits for $1,500. The quote doesn’t include a breakdown of costs.

I’m renovating my kitchen and replacing appliances, but I’m not adding any new appliances.

My questions are:

  1. Do I actually need to upgrade the switchboard?
  2. What

items

  1. should

normally be included for this kind of upgrade and in cost breakdown?

Thanks everyone.

Kitchen Reno DBI structural or non-structural in Victoria

I’ve signed a contract with a builder for demolition kitchen and laundry cabinets and flooring, electrical and plumbing work, now the builder claims the DBI rate is based on structural work rate schedule, which will cost me $1600 for a project value of $25k, 6.4% of total value!

My question is it true this type of work are structural? Anyone had experience in dealing with this type of work?
