When the building budget is being drawn up, attention (and, in practice, money) is paid to the bricks, floor finish, kitchen and bathroom. Generally, the electrical installation is only thought about at a later stage, even though it is one of the fundamental items in a home. Often at that time, there are not enough funds remaining for a good, comfortable installation.
The result is a nice house, but with less comfort, flexibility and communications facilities. After a while, there are extension leads with multiple sockets lying around on the floor in many places.
This jeopardises electrical safety.
What can we take into account when we want to provide a budget for our electrical installation? What items must we consider? What items can we think of as optional?
What percentage of the budget do we have to provide for the electrical installation, and can we express it as a cost per square metre? This article will attempt to answer these questions and more.
