Temporary Power in Tiburon
Cameras, cooling and fuel-supplied generators for Tiburon rebuilds and view-lot remodels on the peninsula.
Peninsula logistics in Tiburon
Tiburon jobs are often large remodels or full rebuilds on steep view lots. Tiburon Boulevard is the main road in and out, with Paradise Drive as the other route, so delivery timing matters. A truck stuck behind a commute backup costs the whole crew an hour, and we plan around it. Some of the steepest lots also need a crane day, and we keep the temp pole out of the swing path.
Plans and the electrical permit go to the Tiburon town building staff, and the utility side runs through PG&E. Bigger homes may need a 200A service or more for heat pumps, elevators or pool gear that gets tested before the permanent service is live. We read the electrical plans to size the temp service for that late testing stage too, and we check where the PG&E drop comes in, since some view lots are fed from below the house.
Wind off the bay can be strong on exposed ridges. We brace poles, secure cable and pick spots for camera trailers that do not catch a gust. On long projects we plan regular fuel runs for any generator so it never runs low, and we log each delivery so you can see the usage.

Picks for Tiburon builds
Remote monitoring and timelapse
Owners often live elsewhere during a rebuild and want to watch progress. Remote-monitored cameras with timelapse give them a daily view and give you security at night. Clips are stored online, and you can share a link with the architect.
Cool air in the site office
South-facing slopes heat a trailer fast on sunny days. Spot coolers for an office trailer keep plans, printers and laptops from cooking by mid-afternoon. A one-ton unit handles most standard trailers.
Fuel on a schedule
A generator that runs for weeks needs steady supply. Fuel delivery for long-running generators keeps tanks topped off without a crew member driving to the gas station with jerry cans.
Tiburon cost range
Tiburon view-lot poles in the 100A to 200A class run about $1,800 to $4,500, more where the cable has to run far down the slope. A monitored camera trailer for a rebuild is usually $450 to $1,200 monthly. A generator for pool or elevator testing before the meter set is quoted by the week, fuel extra.

Tiburon and Belvedere notes
Belvedere shares the peninsula but runs its own permit office, apart from Tiburon. Some nearby areas are unincorporated county land too. We confirm jurisdiction from the parcel before filing, which saves a resubmittal.
Check with the town on construction hours and any rules about noise from generators or night lighting. View-lot neighbors tend to notice both, and a shielded light tower pointed at the work keeps complaints down. Some homeowner associations here set their own work hours, so ask about those too.
Tiburon temp power questions
Can you power a site in Belvedere too?
Yes. The permit goes to Belvedere instead of Tiburon, but PG&E still handles the service. The same crews and gear work on both sides of the town line.
How do you deal with delivery traffic?
We plan deliveries outside commute hours and use smaller trucks on tight streets. If a road closure hits, we call you before the truck rolls.
Can the owner watch the camera feed from out of state?
Yes. Feeds and timelapse clips are viewable from a phone or laptop anywhere with internet. We can also email the owner a weekly timelapse.
