Book recommendation for electrical installation wanted

For the upcoming house construction, I would like to do the electrical installation myself (and of course have it inspected by an electrician at the end). Does anyone know a good book that describes exactly what needs to be considered during the electrical installation? It should explain how to lay empty conduits, etc....

Ha, a well-known name from the KNX forum

Never do water and electricity yourself if you are not able to

I wouldn't know of such literature (except of course the technical literature for the electrical trade).
I would also recommend you to keep your hands off it if you already need instructions for laying the conduit. Alternatively, just talk to an electrician of your choice to see if he can guide you a bit at the beginning so that you can then carry out the remaining work (I am thinking now of chasing slots, laying conduits, installing boxes, and pulling cables) yourself. Then the electrician only needs to connect and approve.

By the way, we will also do the above-mentioned division of work the same way at our place.

I would also recommend you to leave it alone if you already need instructions for laying the empty conduit.

It is legitimate to acquire knowledge. I wouldn't know which radii, diameters, materials, and surfaces are suitable or recommended for which purposes. You read about such things (was this drilled into craftsmen during vocational school? Or not?). The craftsmanship skill is another matter (routine, experience play a role). The trade offers DIY literature by the meter, also on the topic of electrical work.

I bought the Kindle version of "Elektro-Installationen im Haus" by Bo Hanus. It is not technically very precise, but explains in simple ways how to connect individual things. He also rightly says that it basically does not require great craft skills, as the cables are screwed together with ready-made parts and there are few machining tasks (work steps where you work on material with tools). You only need a handful of good tools (don't be too stingy) and the fun can start.

However, I would not trust myself with a complete house installation. Certain things are only allowed to be done by the "master" (e.g., to sign the form for the supplier).

For example, you could do the network installation yourself. There is no real voltage on it and it is not connected to the normal power grid. If you are doing that, you could also lay satellite, cables, etc. When buying the parts, you will realize that the savings are much smaller than you think. As a private person, many parts are really expensive and you need everything – including tools.
