Approved electrical contractors list
In May we issued a Bulletin notice that schools needed to engage an approved electrical contractor for all electrical work from 1 September 2015.
We received a range of feedback from schools, and we’ve decided to put the implementation of the approved electrical contractors list on hold while we work with you to address some schools’ concerns.
If you require any further assistance on this matter, please contact the SNUP Senior Technical Advisor, Kimbal McHugo ( Kimbal.Mchugo@education.govt.nz 04 463 8575).
