Recently we have obtained a spa and had new LED down lights installed, this was done by a friend who is a qualified electrician.

We are having an issue getting the work all completed and really want it to be done and done safely so it is all signed off and legal.

The last part of the job is to replace the existing 80 switchboard that has MCB's but no RCD's.

As I used to work for a reputable imported I have all the switchboard, MCB, RCD's main switch already but need to get them installed.

Is any qualified electrician out there able to give me an estimate in hours to remove the old switchboard and install a new 14 way surface mount (current board is a 10-12 way surface mount) and sign off on the work completed?

Our friend is struggling with capacity at the moment so this job, that was started in August (but booked in July) is taking for ever.

I need to get an estimate as we are currently having the house painted so if it is likely to be thousands to get this done we need to have a serious think ,but if we are looking at around <$500 then we would get it done pretty much straight away.
