Electrical work checklist for Indooroopilly homes
The Indooroopilly electrical job checklist separates faults, fitting changes and access questions for comparison with a written proposal. Use the questions below. You do not need to diagnose anything yourself.

Four short groups of facts
Tick an item when you have the information ready, then summarise your notes in the enquiry form. Ticks stay on this page only and are not submitted or saved. Use only information you already have safely. A photograph cannot establish diagnosis or compliance.
Fixed electrical work belongs with a licensed person. See Queensland's DIY electrical-work guidance.
The symptom or goal
A symptom and a planned installation lead to different assessments.
The property and access
Access and approval can hold up a visit even when the electrical job is clear.
What has happened already
Dates and earlier scopes help distinguish a new problem from an unresolved agreed task.
What to ask in writing
Comparable written inclusions make it easier to choose between proposals.
Example
A useful enquiry can be simple
“The safety switch has tripped twice this week and the kitchen outlets lose power. I rent, and the property manager can arrange access. Could a licensed contractor assess the cause and explain what the first visit and any repair quote would cover?”
This example is illustrative. It does not describe a real customer or establish a cause. If the situation is dangerous, use the emergency route.
Before accepting the scope
Check the actual contractor's electrical contractor licence. Confirm whether the proposal covers diagnosis, repair, required protection, testing, access, exclusions and return visits. A wider switchboard change should have its own property-specific explanation.
