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
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.

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

Does the router cover the entire apartment with Wi-Fi? Probably not 100%. However, I would use a FritzBox repeater in this case.

But I would have used a FritzBox repeater now. However, the repeater significantly reduces the bandwidth, so I would definitely avoid it in new construction.
Regarding the LAN in the kitchen: I initially considered it as well. Then I looked at the devices and found that all the "smart" appliances in the kitchen connect via Wi-Fi. So you can save yourself the outlets.

In the second case, the range is extended without reducing the bandwidth. Of course, a LAN cable must connect the bridge to the Fritz box.

So, can I also connect it to a network socket and that’s it?
Just to be clear, an access point is different from a Fritz repeater, right?

An access point is connected directly to the router via LAN. It’s similar to a DECT base station but for Wi-Fi. A repeater, on the other hand, captures the Wi-Fi signal from the router and redistributes it to the surrounding area. For me, a repeater is ideal for existing buildings or rental apartments. In new construction, I would avoid using a repeater!
