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

Oh bugger, I can't drive a tractor . But i can write a spec & materials list properly and then go on to wire the building, is that any good ?

Yes mate I have something in my workshop something I made when my then boss asked me to do the impossible a wand I think it's called, don't know if any wholesalers stock them.

If he knew what he was doing, he wouldn't have been wiring the pendants in singles in the first place. Going on what you've written, neither you or your Electrician (If he exists) have the first clue what your talking about. Your just fishing for information.

I'm done.

To the OP, not you Andy Don't think we are being harsh on the UE unidentified electrician, come clean mate you will be doing the work wont you? you're the mystery Sparky, if this job actually exists, you need to call an Electrician pronto, not angle for info on this forum, Ive enjoyed our little chats but enough is enough, get real. I think I'll join Specialist and be done as well.

OP.... You'll be happy to know, I'm STAYING..... I won't abandon you like the others. Just need some popcorn....

 

[omoeko]

Awww... You are such a nice bloke. When others are scared to comment on the list. At least you are staying. I repeat, i am not doing this myself, I would also not mention it again.

I will however get to the bottom of it even if nobody helps.

You crack me up mate..
Just ask "your electrician"..... Nudge-nudge, wink-wink...

Are you putting a CU in the garage, that seems to be missing.

 

[omoeko]

Yes a small one to run off the main one, I am told.
Thanks for asking.

[telectrix]

So come on OP, why don't you ask your "sparky"?

Surely he must be aware of the full spec as he must have quoted against it ......... ...... ........... ........... ............ .............. after all, nobody agrees a price to do a rewire without knowing the full or agreed spec do they?
