Hello everyone,

I have some questions for experienced electricians or DIY enthusiasts working with timber frame houses/wood frame construction:
How do you prepare outlets and switches on walls that are not yet covered or insulated, meaning interior walls that are still open on one side, or the installation level on exterior walls?
For example, on the installation level that will be insulated later: Do you attach the cables to the exterior wall and let them extend into the room where an outlet will be installed? When insulating later with wood wool, do you push the cable through the wood wool and leave space for the flush-mounted box in the wood wool? Or how is this usually done?
I would appreciate any experiences or photos.
Thank you very much.

No, I believe they are 60mm (2.4 inches) thick. That is STEICOflex.
The wall in the second photo is a load-bearing interior wall. It is quite thick.
