thanks for all of your replies,

the client has had a bit of a rethink, after also talking to the local PoCo, (Scotish & Southern Power)they are going, within the next year, replay and upgrade all the main power lines to the area,

i was looking forward to actually fitting the building out but the cost was alittle to steep, i had a basic quote, just for the GenSet of over £6000.00, thats a Propane one!

add all the rest of the kit and the job was looking about £10,000.

so the client is going to put up with the outages and wait.

but one thing he has had supplied by us is a decent size UPS and an extra heavy duty 12v power supply for his intruder / fire alarm.

so all was not lost!!
