ᐅ Main utility connection box installed before interior plastering in the utility room

Hello,

Working with the utility providers here has proven to be somewhat challenging. At first, it was slow with long waiting times and a lot of follow-up calls, then mostly quick, straightforward, and solution-oriented. I feel torn about it. However, the following problem has now arisen:

The regional network operator hastily and overenthusiastically moved the scheduled installation of the house connection box including the telecom mounting plate from the property boundary into the utility room. In principle, I’m glad it happened so quickly, but unfortunately a bit too quickly: the interior plaster is expected only by mid to late next week.

The wall where this is installed is an interior wall made of Poroton blocks. Behind it is the kitchen and the combined kitchen/dining/living area.

Do you see any issues besides aesthetic concerns with having it installed directly on this wall, considering the plasterer will have to work all around it?

Construction site: wall-mounted electrical device with warning label, blue hoses leading to black box.

Hello Guter Ton,
what I see here is simply a failure and completely unacceptable!!!!!!!!! In Thuringia, I always have to report the construction site as "ready," otherwise, the utility providers will not come. This means I have to confirm that the screed is walkable and the plaster is applied.
The work done is botched. Please send a written defect report to the provider, requesting a reversal within 4 working days!
This service does not meet the ordered specifications. It’s not just plaster that’s missing but also tiles or paint. If you don’t receive a positive response, write again; I will get back to you.

I can understand the issue with the plaster, but what does this have to do with the screed or the tiles? The screed should reach up to the finished floor level at the multi-utility connection box, or am I mistaken?

We have the same issue. Only that our plasterer applied plaster to a wall in advance of the utility providers arriving.

Flush-mounted house connection box sounds like a new style trend.

On my current construction site, an extra 2 square meters (about 22 square feet) of screed was laid around the conduit for the connections.
No other electrical wiring inside the house.
