Hello,
today I would like to ask you again for what you do best: bringing a layperson’s naive ideas back down to reality.
I hope the attached calculation is at least somewhat self-explanatory. It might be worth mentioning that in the estimates (h=hours, d=days, w=weeks) I have already taken the number of helpers into account. So these are not man-hours/days/weeks.
Many of you probably have more practical experience: would you consider these figures roughly realistic? Most of the tasks (those listed with 1.5 people) I will do more or less alone, with my wife as an assistant. There might be more active helpers, but I’m not counting on that for now. At least for the trades involved, I’m reasonably skilled but not exactly fast—at least until I get into a routine, then I can speed up quite a bit.
Best regards

And that as an IT specialist? There are IT specialists and masterminds.

I would also stay away from the electrical work. If something goes wrong, I don’t want to argue with the insurance. I would definitely agree that you shouldn’t tackle that without proper knowledge. I wouldn’t trust myself to do it without professionals supporting me either. But do you really think the insurance will tear open the walls, dust for fingerprints on the wires, and refuse to pay if there are no electrician’s fingerprints on them?

There are IT specialists and cable installers Some critics claim that certain cable installers do not pay enough attention to the specific requirements of IT cabling (such as bending radius, avoiding kinks, shielding all the way to the connector). I am an IT specialist and have connected around 200 outlets. Three minutes for the actual connection (stripping and terminating) is definitely achievable, even when done properly. Of course, this also depends on having the right tools. This time does not include any preparation or follow-up work.

As long as the "connection" works, that's what matters.

If the house burns down with a value of 420,000 (currency), they will investigate for sure.

Some critics claim that certain decision-makers don’t pay enough attention to the specific requirements of IT cabling (bending radii, avoiding kinks, shielding all the way to the connector). I am an IT specialist and have connected about 200 outlets. Connecting one properly (from stripping to terminating) can definitely be done in about 3 minutes. Of course, the right tools make a difference. And that time doesn’t include any preparation or follow-up work. Well, laying cables doesn’t necessarily have to do with IT.
I am an IT specialist and project manager, and I have never crimped a cable myself.
In other words: not everyone who works in IT has to deal with it, why should they?
