When is it sensible to connect utility lines to the house?

At least the plaster should be applied (do you get plaster?), at least the wall where the connections will be installed should be finished. You can't do anything behind the connections later. For us, water came after the interior plaster, then electricity only after the screed, when the first tiles under the heater were already laid. But that was more due to the electrician's slowness, who simply failed to apply for the connection in time. But the question is, have you already applied for everything? For us, the suppliers then said when they could come. Electricity was still installed just before moving in.

At our place, the house connections were installed 1.5 months after the start of construction, shortly before the pipe installation, heating/sanitary/electrical were routed and connected into the house. This was stated in the schedule and was also implemented that way. :)

From my point of view, actually as late as possible and as early as necessary.

You do have construction power and construction water... the rest then "as late as possible" inside the house. No tiles or similar will be damaged, but the lines will be cleanly pulled through the MSH. By the way, it just occurred to me that it would be better to "finish" preparing the MSH (depending on the manufacturer/design) before tiling so that the tiles can be laid neatly around it afterward....

Otherwise, it is advantageous if the technical room is completely prepared (tiled, painted, etc.) and then the installations are carried out on the walls, etc. Otherwise, it becomes tedious and unsightly if the walls have to be painted around all the equipment and pipes afterwards.

Ultimately, the respective timing is determined by the utility providers anyway. Key point as mentioned, "lockable room," etc.

Good luck and enjoy next week!
We made ourselves comfortable in the garden with garden chairs, etc., and watched the activity fascinated :)

We would also like to do that, but I find it a bit too voyeuristic and intrusive. ;-) I actually intended to stay unobtrusively within sight and watch from there, incognito so to speak.

hm. We probably have opposite interpretations of voyeurism ;)

The construction guys certainly wouldn't mind!
Just put two crates of drinks there and maybe provide them with coffee and/or lunch... It's anything but intrusive and creates a relaxed, open atmosphere. At least that's how it is with us ...

That is your house, so it’s quite normal for you to watch.
Guess how many times I’ve looked over the craftsmen’s shoulders here.
