Getting temporary power for your construction site is a process. In order to develop a proposal for you, the power companies that you’re considering will need to do a site visit to determine the specific needs of the job. Below are some of the things the power company will look for to prepare your quote.

Any power company you’re dealing with will need to ask these questions to figure out what kind of equipment you’ll need and for how long.

What Can I Do to Prepare for my Site Visit?
To prepare for your site visit, make sure that you have the answers to all the questions above.
The number one thing to do is contact power companies in advance. You need to do this for several reasons. First, you’ll want to gather quotes from a few companies and that takes time. If they each have to do a site visit, it can take a couple of weeks to get proposals in your hand. Then, once you accept a quote, it can take months to get temporary power. From paying utility fees and acquiring permits from the city, there’s a lot that goes into the process.
Overall, acquiring temporary power is a process and it takes time. If you’re prepared, the process will go smoothly.
