ᐅ Socket Placement

LAN and satellite outlets will be installed in the guest room, bedroom, and office. An access point is planned to be mounted on the ceiling in the hallway. Did you mean a socket with an LED like a night light?

Yes, for example from Gira.
Okay, I haven’t seen any other model, so here is a reminder...
Regarding LAN – have both simplex and duplex options priced out. At least for the office, duplex would be useful.
Generally, a few more notes on this topic:
When installing the cables, make sure to use proper empty conduit (casing) that runs all the way to the outlet and isn’t made from leftover pieces. Ideally, use an M25 conduit instead of a thin flexible one.
Depending on where you’re building, it’s common to run regular cables inside conduits, although that tends to be more standard in southern regions.
If you have some extra budget, you could install the empty conduits yourself. This can save you from having to open up half the wall if changes are needed later. You can buy them at hardware stores and have the electrician on site install them for just a few extra dollars.

Thanks for your tips.

Now I have to wait and see what figure his offer will come up with.

Especially at night, when you need to use the bathroom, very convenient.

Hello

For this, I installed one of the wall lamps with a 15 W light bulb. It is controlled by switches placed on both sides of the bed. Since then, there have been no more stubbed toes, and finding the bathroom door is no longer a problem. This is an easy detail to implement during the shell construction phase.

A power outlet with LED lighting in the middle of the staircase. That’s enough to softly illuminate the entire hallway without having to turn on the main lights all the time.

You can add this later as well – we have something similar, and it’s totally great. No more overly bright night lights for the child.
One in the bathroom too, so there’s no need to turn on the main light for the toilet, and you don’t get fully awake at night. Perfect.

Does anyone know how long a professional typically needs to install an additional electrical outlet next to an existing one during the shell construction phase?

Does this usually take 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or...?

It should just involve making a hole, plastering in the box, running the cable from the existing outlet to the new one, and connecting the insert, right? Or is there more to it?

Thanks!

Yes, something like that.
The real effort isn’t just chiseling out the box and installing it, but all the surrounding tasks. Bringing in tools, switching off the power, marking the spot, drilling, vacuuming, removing the old box, mixing plaster, fitting the new double box, letting it dry... overall, it’s quite inefficient if you’re doing this for just one outlet.
