Ceiling spots in a concrete ceiling - very expensive from the developer - your tips

Hello everyone,

we are planning to build a >town villa with Team Massivhaus and would like to install many ceiling spots on the ground floor. Our developer charges 180 euros per spot, which I find very expensive. Do you have any ideas on how to do this alternatively yourself or outsource it? Best regards and thanks in advance

Have the ceiling lowered and then do it yourself. Worth it at that price.

That’s still acceptable in terms of price. Ours cost about €240 per spot. Here it was: "Take it or leave it"

Alternatively, the suggestion from Egberto...

Well, suspending the ceiling would mean that we would first have to raise the floor, which also costs about 1500 euros per 10 cm. The developer also does not offer suspending the entire upper floor. If you outsource it, it would cost about 80 euros per m2, which would make the entire ground floor very expensive. We want ceiling spots in the hallway, kitchen, and living room, so that is many square meters.

You will have to die one death. I want to make some dependencies. Looks good, doesn’t it?

Of course it's a bit expensive, but there's also quite a lot of effort involved. Pouring HaloxDose into the concrete parts, laying cables on prefabricated parts into the box, later plastering/sanding the ceiling extra at those spots, measuring the exact spot, drilling the hole out, fiddling out the cable, mounting the installation ring and connecting the LED...
