Rough installation - what does it mean?

Hello here in the forum,

according to the payment plan, an installment payment is due after the rough installation of sanitary and electrical work has been completed. The situation is now as follows:

Sanitary:
- no outdoor tap installed (neither the pipe nor breakthrough)
- no washing machine connection
- complete absence of fresh water supply/sewage line in the kitchen (wall breakthrough to the sewage line/downpipe missing – this will probably be removed again because no connection possibility was planned)
- the wall breakthrough to the outside for the sewage line has not been made
- In the bathroom, toilet, only about 1 m of fresh water pipe is hanging (from the distributor, water tank, shower), further fresh water pipes are not present and therefore not connected

Electrical:

- no electrical box/fuse box, cables hanging from the basement ceiling
- no socket outlets prepared in the drywall walls
- likewise no ceiling openings for the spotlights
- basement with rough plaster, no surface-mounted electrical installation at all

Which criteria speak for the completed rough installation?
Given the construction status, should the invoice be paid now?

Hello,

Which criteria indicate the completed shell installation?

For plumbing: the complete installation of the cold and hot water supply lines – from the water meter in the utility room to the sanitary fixtures. For electrical: all riser and supply lines on the ground floor and attic or upper floor, depending on the contract also in the attic space. The ceiling outlets should be installed in empty conduits in the ceiling.

Best regards

The ceiling outlets should be installed in empty conduits in the ceiling. Is that mandatory or "just" advantageous? Because in our drywall construction, no conduits have been installed... Why empty conduits, please?

Hello,

don’t you have a concrete ceiling above the ground floor?

Kind regards

Yes, is the pipe supposed to protect the line or help to renew a line sometime?

Hello,

But is the pipe supposed to protect the cable or to help renew a cable sometimes?

You first have to get to the cables ... that’s why they are pulled for the ceiling outlets - and partly as protection - using empty conduits.

Kind regards
