Home office set up

[DaveVector]

Hello all, I am pricing up for a domestic rewire, and the customer requires a pc friendly home office setting up. I understand he runs up to 8 pc's at a time plus various other electronica. so the question is how best to go about installing the circuit for this.
My initial thoughts are for a separate ring final circuit on its own RCD(not sure if type B or C?),with a 32a mcb (could this be an RCBO instead),
running a seperate ring protective conductor,
and adding a SPD at the consumer unit.
Please let me know your thoughts.

if the socket is designated for a specific piece of equipment and labelled as such , rcd protection for sockets can be omitted even in a domestic.
the instructed / skilled person clause cannot be applied to domestic installations though.

Yeah totally forgot about that. Just had a read of 411.3.3 again. Could even put in designated use socket fronts and plug tops to go a bit further than just labelling.

why is that then? a lot of people work from home now, so why can this not apply to the part of the home that's used as an office, esp. if the customer has the intelligence to be classed a skilled or instructed?
