Hello,
today I would like to ask you again for what you do best: bringing a layperson’s naive ideas back down to reality.
I hope the attached calculation is at least somewhat self-explanatory. It might be worth mentioning that in the estimates (h=hours, d=days, w=weeks) I have already taken the number of helpers into account. So these are not man-hours/days/weeks.
Many of you probably have more practical experience: would you consider these figures roughly realistic? Most of the tasks (those listed with 1.5 people) I will do more or less alone, with my wife as an assistant. There might be more active helpers, but I’m not counting on that for now. At least for the trades involved, I’m reasonably skilled but not exactly fast—at least until I get into a routine, then I can speed up quite a bit.
Best regards

I would definitely agree that you shouldn’t approach this without proper knowledge. I wouldn’t trust myself to do it without professionals supporting me either. But do you really think the insurance company will tear open the walls, take fingerprints from the wires, and then refuse to pay if there are no fingerprints from a certified electrician? If an electrical company is involved and confirms that everything is okay, then I doubt it. I don’t think most companies are that careless.

stefanc841 Mar 2017 20:15This actually moves a bit away from the original question, since we even have two very experienced electricians—one handling the planning and supervision, and the other responsible for the inspection. However, fundamentally, you are right that it would be naive to think, "I can manage this on my own and someone will just sign off on it."

Are these electricians also certified master electricians and recognized by the utility provider?
Yes, both are self-employed master electricians, but only one is licensed for the area.
