Hello,
all our walls are made of reinforced concrete. So the electrician has a lot of work creating the grooves and holes for the cables, boxes, switches... Some holes have a diameter of 6cm. Some empty conduits are also present, through which the old cables were routed. However, the electrician says they are not usable because the diameter is too small. Since we want more sockets overall and also LAN cables in some rooms, too many cables would have to pass through the existing empty conduits, and for the new boxes he would need a diameter of 80mm. Is all this normal? Or can you ask that at least some of the pipes and holes be used after all, for example where no socket is being added, the cables should still fit through the pipe, right? Or does that seem petty? In total (it’s a large house), quite a lot adds up if everything has to be newly drilled/milled/chiseled out...
Thank you very much for your tips!
