Consumer unit in kitchen cupboard?

[johnsparks23]

Hi sparks, studio flat open living area. The builder thinks the consumer would look out of place by the front entrance door (logical position). Instead he would prerer it to be located in a kitchen wall unit. New build. Any thoughts, relevant regs. thanks.

hehe, just to pick up on this, why dont all new builds have a "services" cupboard , where the gas water and electricity all come into the property at once, would make life a lot easier for bonding!!, i have seen instances where this is the case in old houses but i think it was more circumstance rather than careful planning

That would require the architects to use common sense,thats something that has been lacking since the second world war, therefore I cant see that idea ever being implemented
