Hello everyone,
We are building with an architect and have commissioned phases 1-8 of the service. The architect wants to develop a detailed electrical plan together with us. We have now spoken with an electrician who submitted a quote. He mentioned that we will still meet with the master electrician who will plan the details for us.
Will I end up with duplicate plans? I had agreed with the architect that we could flexibly omit certain service modules if we handle them ourselves or if they are not needed after all.
How was it for you? Was the electrical work planned by the architect or by the electrician?
Best regards,
André

I would plan it with the architect. If they have some understanding of the "interior," they can make a valuable contribution. Regarding cable routing, they can coordinate the electrical planning with the other trades. Usually, only the architect can do this, and in my opinion, this is very valuable (I know cases without comprehensive planning). The electrical details are ultimately the responsibility of the master electrician anyway.

Now I also understand why this makes sense. For example, we decided exactly where the ceiling spotlights should go. The necessary boxes for these were taken into account when ordering the precast ceiling panels. At a later stage, some detailed solutions might no longer have been feasible – or would have only been possible through time-consuming adjustments afterwards.
