Wiring a 5 bedroom house

[omoeko]

Hello Everyone,

I am not sure of the etiquette here on the forum, but I would like to start by extending warm greetings to everyone in the house. This forum is very useful for me and I have learnt a lot from it.

I would like to ask a question, its about the list of materials required to wire a 5 bed house. I have the list below, and would like to know if its correct etc.

3/4 double sockets per bedroom, and everywhere will have spot lights apart from the bedrooms. I also plan to use a double electric oven, which is rated at 4,400W and hence a 6mm cable needs to be used. The distance is about 10m from the board to the kitchen. Below are the oven specification.

Energy efficiency class (2010/30/EC) - cavity 2 : A Energy consumption per cycle forced air convection - cavity 2 (2010/30/EC) : 0.80 Energy efficiency index (2010/30/EC) : 112.9 Energy efficiency index cavity 2 (2010/30/EC) : 94.1 Electrical connection rating (W) : 4400 Current (A) : 20 Voltage (V) : 240 Frequency (Hz) : 50

Would be wrong to confirm or decry another persons list of materials and in the situation where the customer wants to buy the items I would walk away. A regular electrician will have a proper trade account with a reputable wholesaler and should source and recharge for parts including adding a percentage, 20% is mentioned elsewhere and that is reasonable, sourcing equipment takes time and experience and also puts a risk onto the electrician through his account with the wholesaler, its his credit and you are the risk he takes. I have a local customer who has retired to these parts and was a private doctor in London. Told me he charged £350/hour and he was worth it because it was he who had gone to college for years to learn his profession. My reply was that we are the same, people who carry out skilled work and are properly trained have studied and are entitled to our rate. Similarly a local landlord

All down to the electrician and discourteous to go crosschecking his list. Non fire rated spotlights seems a weird choice.

you right there ,if customer of mine say they are supplying any materials. I would ask them to sign a piece of paper saying no warranty's of them supplying own gear e.g. non fire rated lightings. if you property burns down .
you can not claim on my insurance.
