Hello everyone, I'd like to start a conversation about the process of replacing power poles privately. Anyone with recent experience who could share some insights?
Hi PoleMaster, I’ve recently handled a similar situation. It’s vital to first understand whether your notice is from Western Power or if it's a private advisory. Clarifying this will help you know how to proceed.
Adding to what StormSentry said, weather is a major factor in Perth. Planning your pole replacement when the weather is stable is key to avoiding delays.
One crucial point is choosing the right type of pole. Wood and steel poles have varied lifespans and costs. Make sure to discuss with your contractor the most suitable choice for your specific needs.
I'd like to stress the importance of finding an experienced installer. Your choice can greatly influence the success of the project. Check their credentials and past projects to ensure they’re capable.
Thanks for all the great advice. I'm taking into account all these points as I move forward. Any further tips as I get ready to begin?
