When I asked the electrician where the doorbell and gong were actually planned, we were told "You wanted to make a doorbell yourself, so we didn’t plan for anything." I was totally taken aback. According to the construction service description, a simple doorbell recess and gong are included in the scope of work.
I had an additional service to lay a cable for a later porch (doorbell, LAN, power). They just thought "Great, the client will take care of it himself, so we don’t need to install a doorbell." But the porch will only come later anyway, and in the meantime our visitors are supposed to knock on the door (in a new building!!)???!!
Now we are being offered a wireless doorbell as a replacement since the house is about to be handed over and is basically finished!

My questions:

1:
Would you accept a battery-operated doorbell/gong in a new building?

2:
What possibilities are there for a wired system? The interior has already been plastered.

3:
Couldn’t one install a doorbell button outside and then connect it in a flush-mounted box with a transformer (power could be taken from an internal socket)?

Hmm, that wouldn't be unusual now. Yes, in the new building.

1. Also nothing unusual. But of course, it depends on what has been ordered in black and white.

2. As long as only plastered, everything is still open to you. Chasing, drilling a box, etc. is still possible.

3. Yes

We also have a wireless doorbell, I don't see a problem with that, rather the advantage that you can position the button or buttons as you like.

Apparently a faulty communication. And bam! Here's the reflex: The other person is to blame and should have thought about it.

Did you really want to take care of the doorbell yourself? If yes, then the planning and instructions on what is needed are part of it. Your service provider could have also done everything wrong: "Why are there cables there - I said I would take care of it myself..."

this is part of the planning in the shell construction when the electrician comes and marks his boxes,
the execution according to the construction service specification and DIN can then end badly, therefore

when first determining the cables and boxes with the electrician do not forget
- sockets
- light switches
- lamp outlets
- doorbell system
- TV distribution/boxes/satellite dish
- LAN distribution
- telephone central/lines/system
- cables for shed / garden / pathway lighting / electric garden gate
- video door system
- for KNX cables
- speaker cables etc.,
concentration or an accurate plan is required
greetings Nida

something forgotten can often be solved later with radio
