When we started building the granny flat there was already a tenant in the main house. The builder could not get the electrician in to install a separate meter before building commenced so we negotiated $200 to cover electricity and water to be reimbursed to the tenant for the usage. We thought this amount would be a fair amount but now they have received their electricity bill for over $900 and have blamed the builder for using the majority of it. The construction period was from September to now(it's still going). There are only 2 tenants so when you think about it, the bill shouldn't be so high.
We are building a basic brick veneer 80sqm granny flat on a slab. Does construction actually use that much electricity? The tradesman are hardly ever there and most of the work was done within the first 2 months and no work was done for a month from Mid December.
