Conduit Costs - Network, SAT, Backup

Hello,

I would like to have several empty conduits installed in a planned new building (network, SAT, backup..etc).
How much does it approximately cost to install such an empty conduit, or what have you paid?

Thanks!

Hello,
if you are already having the conduits installed, I would have the cables pulled in at the same time.
Cost-effective alternative: make the slots yourself and install the conduits yourself.

I paid 3€/m for the pure M25 empty conduit in the ceiling (without a groove in the wall). Material is max 1€/m. Too much, considering how quickly it went.. Therefore, I did the upper floor ceiling myself. Four of us laid just under 500m in one day.

My general contractor is currently charging €70 per empty conduit ending at an empty box. This is a two-story semi-detached house in the countryside. How and when did you lay the pipes yourselves? Were there no objections from the general contractor regarding delays in construction work?

The question arises whether DIN 18015 implies a general obligation that certain cables (SAT, network, etc.) must be installed in empty conduits.

I laid the empty conduits after placing the slab ceiling elements and before the in-situ concrete was poured. There was no delay; the slabs were installed on Friday in coordination with the general contractor and the concrete was poured on Monday.

The way it’s usually done:

On one side into the ceiling breakthrough, on the other side either into the ceiling box (light, smoke detector, presence detector) or a hole drilled so that you can then reach down in the wall chase.



For the holes, suitable tools are recommended. I bought a Bosch rotary hammer in the 6kg class for this, costs 500€, which I had wanted for a long time anyway.

With the conduits, you quickly rack up meters. But to later still get an empty box attached, it takes at least as much work again:

Drill the box, chase with a wall chaser, chisel out, plaster the box in:


All in all, not for someone with two left hands!
