Hello everyone!
For our turnkey house, we would like to expand the electrical work by EL.
As many know, the included items do not cover all our wishes.
I don’t want to interfere too much with the electrician’s work; they will also receive several additional positions from us.
However:
I plan to arrange the sockets included in the scope of work so that I can independently multiply them at the electrician’s installation site. In other words, I want to turn a single socket into a double or multiple socket. To do this, I will simply use the installed power supply line. This way, I won’t have to make major chases (channels) in the walls, but just drill the boxes and plaster them, of course. With this approach, I could save about €1,000.
What have been your experiences with EL in the electrical trade?
Regards
Käfer

If you are an electrician, you know how it works; if not, stay away.

Your technical support will tell you the same.
If I were an electrician, no one except my apprentice, journeyman, or colleague would be allowed to tamper with it, because as a master electrician I am responsible.

You write that you always want to install just one electrical box and then convert it into double or triple boxes. I don't think you'll save much money just because the electricians drill a few fewer holes. You will need the same amount of materials, and since you want the electrician to handle the effort of running the cables to where you want the boxes anyway, the cost difference will be minimal.

If I install the outlets together with my neighbor, who is of course an electrician, no one can question their expertise. The electrician hired by the developer must take responsibility for the warranty of their work.
@hbf12:
Unfortunately, that’s how I save quite a bit. I wouldn’t have thought so at first either. Every additional socket, no matter where (!), costs me more than 35€ with the electrician contracted by the developer. 😡
