ᐅ Should I buy electrical supplies now?

Hello,
I started working at a large "building services company" last week.
I am currently organizing and tidying up the warehouse.
There are materials in the warehouse that are no longer part of the product range.
I can purchase these at a low cost, and I can also buy additional items I need at a good price.

Since I do not know how long I will stay with this company, I have the question:
Does it make sense to buy these now?
I would use a materials list from one of our average houses and order according to that.
I was thinking of:
distribution box, cables, control switch materials, sockets, outdoor spotlights, outdoor sockets, doorbell system, cable ducts...

I am buying the plot of land this year. Construction will start in Q1 2022.
The house will not be built by a construction company. My uncle will manage the construction with a few skilled friends—you know how it is in a village.

I would clarify this beforehand if I were you. After all, thinking is best left to horses—they have bigger heads.

4500m (4,500 meters) of chases??? In a single-family house?

Hello apokolok,

of course, it was 4,500 meters (4,921 yards) of cable. The chases for them, which I made myself, were significantly less.
I advise the thread starter to carefully plan exactly where the cables will be routed. Then rent a wall chaser. Cut all the chases within a few days. Afterwards, clean out the chases by chiseling. Also, buy a diamond-tipped flush cutter for electrical boxes. It makes the work much easier. A good drill is also necessary. I bought a blue Bosch one for 800 euros. I figured if it survives the construction, the money was well spent. What can I say: It will probably outlast me.
