Hello to builders and possibly also to electrical specialists (men/women),
since I have not found anything about this on the internet or forums, I am asking the question here again.
We awarded the interior work through the BT, unfortunately also the electrical planning. Of course, LAN cabling is not included in the standard, which the electrician charges extra for. Is the position cable (CAT7) plus pulling cables in the house (floor area 130 sqm) for 300 gross (only one LAN cable, double price for two) too expensive or reasonable? Laying the data cables and network sockets are extra.
We are getting a prefabricated house (wood frame) with a ground floor and upper floor (=roof). It is planned to have the telephone node in the utility room, to install a router and switch there, and to serve the rooms from there each with a double socket and double line Cat7.
The electrician charges a lot for this and also, which really confused me, he wants to install the LAN cables in an empty conduit (allegedly for protection). However, despite the empty conduits, cables could then no longer be replaced! Does that make sense? Is there a DIN for this or is it standard practice not to install the cables openly? Who has experience here or has done this before? As I said, so far we only have the laying service with placing the cables on the socket. The rest in the utility room is not included yet!
Could this service possibly also be done by an amateur? The ceilings are still open, the lines will be laid on the rafters, and in the horizontal there are installation lines or the walls are not insulated everywhere, so cables can be pulled there.
Thanks in advance for professional feedback.
Regards, Charly
