ᐅ Conduits on the Property – Any Ideas? – It’s Not Too Late Yet :)

Hello house building enthusiasts,
My civil engineer is starting the groundwork now (gravel slab for the house and garage). Since he is making the gravel slab up to the property boundary, I’m concerned it might be tight for running electrical cable to the front and back gardens. Additionally, I’m planning an irrigation system, and the water hoses will need to be routed accordingly.
Would it make sense to have the civil engineer install conduits directly, so I can later lay underground electrical cables and PE water pipes without having to dig again? I’m thinking especially about areas without topsoil cover, like the garage and driveway.
Do you have any other tips on what I could implement at this stage?
The house is built without a basement, and the garage has strip foundations without a slab.
Thank you all.

What were the reasons? I’m also leaning towards Hydrawise (the app looks better/more professional, everything from one source, and no fiddling like with the OS (feels like it)), pricing is about the same, and I wouldn’t see a reason to intervene in the irrigation except maybe turning it on or off via the app.With OpenSprinkler, I would have needed an additional enclosure and power supply. Hydrawise I could simply screw to the wall, plug in the 230V (120V) cable, connect it to the valves, and that was it.ivenh0 schrieb:
