Hello,

It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.

I'll start right away.

For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

Before March 2014:



After May 2015:

It would be helpful to provide some background and explain your concerns in more detail. Just complaining doesn’t help anyone.

To be honest, in my opinion, embedding all the cables directly in the plaster is not a good idea at all. Aside from the fact that I can’t imagine this meets the building codes (professionals should assess that), you also won’t be able to hang a calendar on the wall without worrying about hitting one of the many cables.

@Ippebson ... you can still hit the cable even if it is embedded in a chase within the masonry. Therefore, it is important not to run cables haphazardly but to follow the installation guidelines.

That’s why I always say: design house plans with at least a 10cm (4 inch) buffer, not just 3-4cm (1-1.5 inch), that’s not enough. You’ll be really frustrated if the cabinet doesn’t fit the niche, or the kitchen [emoji4]

10cm (4 inches) on every wall? That’s quite a bit, isn’t it? I wouldn’t plan down to the centimeter anyway, especially since masonry tolerances are generally within the centimeter range. I ended up using about a 6cm (2.5 inch) buffer—for example, 1 to 2cm (0.4-0.8 inch) of plaster on each side, which adds up to 4cm (1.5 inch), plus 50% extra “wiggle room.” If it still doesn’t fit, then the carpenter will have to fix it—and yes, there is some frustration at that moment [emoji6]
I’ll report back on whether this approach works out... [emoji4]

I currently have an offer from the electrician for a fairly extensive installation, totaling €22,000. The cost for chasing (cutting channels in walls) accounts for €300 of the quoted amount. No, there is no missing zero.
I don’t understand why anyone would want to skip that.

@ruppsen With the help of laser and measuring technology, our masons and plasterers managed to construct all rooms with a maximum deviation of 1-2mm from the plan. I was surprised myself when I measured it again during the shell construction.

Therefore, I wouldn’t worry as long as you have a buffer of a few centimeters (inches).
