FAQs
Can you install conduits and pits prior to having approved drawings?

Yes, there are no rules governing when you install pits and conduits, but in order to comply we strongly advise engaging Astrotec Communications at the inception of the project so that when the time comes for installation everything is approved and ready for construction.

What are the costs for design?

Design costs vary depending on the size and type of development. To receive a customised quote fill out our Application Form and upload the plans.

Can we use our designs that have been completed by consultants?

In some cases yes but it must comply to NBN / Telstra specifications. Most often the drawings completed by consultants do not meet the guidelines for G645 standards. We are happy to brief you o the requirements, review your drawing and advise accordingly.

What is the lead time on getting a design completed?

On small developments the design is often completed within two weeks. For larger developments such as multi-level construction we would require a lead time of at least four weeks.

Does every new development require a design?

Yes, as part of the application made to Telstra or NBN there is a requirement to upload a formal design of the ‘planned pit and pipe infrastructure’ that is to be installed.
