Hello everyone,
I need to finalize the electrical planning for my new apartment construction soon. I have already incorporated many great ideas from the forum, such as bedside lamps that can be switched from the door. Thanks for that.
Now I would like to ask the experts here if they know of any other useful tips. Sometimes a small effort during the rough construction phase can have a big impact, or you only realize after completion what could have been done better or differently.
Basically, the following is planned for our 4-room ground-floor apartment:
Do you have any additional ideas?
Best regards

Basically, the following is planned for our 4-room ground-floor apartment:
- Power outlet in each room below the light switch
- Double power outlets in all corners of the living and bedrooms
- Sixfold power outlets where the TV will be mounted on the wall, plus empty conduit for the wall-mounted TV
- In the living room, two outlets near the entrance will be switchable for lamps (or Christmas lights)
- The same setup in the bedroom for the bedside lamps
- In the bathroom: double outlet by the mirror and in a corner where bathroom furniture will be placed, as well as under the heater and power supply to the toilet to prepare for a shower toilet
- Double outlet on the terrace and a power cable to the back of the garden (where a garden shed will be built eventually) – all switchable from inside
- Outdoor power above the terrace door in case a retractable awning is installed there
- Network cables laid in a star topology to each bedroom and the TV corner, running to the router in the storage room
- Obviously, plenty of power outlets in the kitchen
- Roller shutter switches by each window and one central switch in the hallway for all
- TV connections in each bedroom and the living room
- Telephone and internet connection point in the storage room
Do you have any additional ideas?
Best regards

15 devices? I haven’t counted exactly, but it’s roughly correct, yes. There are also a modem, Wi-Fi router, switch, lighting, and so on connected. In a new build, there will definitely be space allocated elsewhere for this; it was just an example. Personally, I don’t find having one socket outlet per device practical.

Conduits are always a good idea. However, if you go overboard, a structural engineer should probably have a say before making the necessary wall openings. Large holes can add up quickly. The "bottleneck" often simply lies in the reluctance to chase grooves later for decorative reasons, so cables end up being laid unnecessarily as extension cords. There would be space for another outlet, and the junction box isn’t too tight, but the cable between them is already at full capacity.

Does the router cover the entire apartment with Wi-Fi, or do you still need to consider an access point? If so, I would recommend providing a LAN connection with a power outlet there, unless you are using PoE.
Why not have LAN in the kitchen? It might not be needed now, but in the future, you might be glad to have it.
