Lollipop or not?

[The Ghost]

I started installing a radial circuit in 4mm² singles in white 20mm conduit for an office. MCB=32a. T-N-CS

The client has decided to cut costs and while the builder is erecting a stud wall partition office he (the builder) will continue with the wiring. The builder wants to form a junction with the 4mm supplied to the office from DB in conduit and do a ring in the office. As I have to sign it off I say no continue in 4mm singles and make it a radial. However he is insisting on a ring circuit, making it a lollipop cct. I am tempted to say yes but did not, thought I would put it before my learned friends to garner some views before I answer him tomorrow.
So....what do you say?
CCT is circa 25m max radial by my proposal.

draw wire an pull ring legs

more time and more money which apparently he aint got the current run (I put in) is over 10m through two 90 degrees and over the shutters at 5m high.

So are you going to supervise the builder as he does the wiring?
I am a bit confused, what do you mean " I think I will insist on a simple radial as it complicates testing and writing it out."?
Do you need all this sh"t?
Walk on by.......

SO from the DB I have 4mm² coming from the DB (singles) in conduit through the unit to the office to be. And there is enough cable to go to the first socket in the office. The builder wants to run singles(?) in 2.5mm² from the 4mm as in a junction box and join two 2.5s' to the four mill. I dont like the sounds of that, JB with those cables in done by a builder!

Yeah, that will be on a lollie, you have been paid for your work. Leave it at that, don't issue any paper work. Basically you have been thrown off the job.( that's how I see It)

I think the song was about a guy trapped in a relationship. Bit like working with a builder.....

Well genuinely, thanks for the input its great to have a few views from different perspectives really helps to clear the mind and have a bit of a laugh into the bargain.

As a matter of interest is this the site you were talking about emergency lighting the other week.

 

[The Ghost]

Indeed it was, correct!

Guess that won't be happening now, shame would have been a good site to do.

Yeh well you never know! The guy does not realise he needs it and I have told him. When B.C. get involved...he may need someone to get him out of shtuck.

Issue a certificate for the works you have done detailing the extent of your efforts,get paid and move on to the next job

Notification is not needed on your part for the work you have done
Whatever games he plays from therein is not your responsibility,that is unless you play the idiot card and complicate things for yourself by being involved in His testing responsibility,His Labc problems, and His certification problems
