Footing systems

One of the first things you need to organised before you for construct and pour a slab is a meter box .
So you'll need to know the  position .  And this is usually set up 150mm at the outside face of the wall if it is brick veneer.
A 50 mm galvanised pipe is driven into the ground with the bottom section cut out to allow cable to be fed up through a trench running back to the underground power source.

Then your electrician will set up a meter box  ready for inspection and power  to be connected.
