Where to put the cables in the attic?

Hello everyone,

we are currently working on the interior construction of our new building.
Now I have a question that has been on my mind for some time.

For time reasons, I would like to start insulating our roof structure already. Since a friend who only has time occasionally is doing the electrical work for us, I am wondering if I can install the insulation and the vapor barrier now or if the cables etc. have to be laid first?

If not, how will they be laid then? I want to avoid damaging the vapor barrier. The attic is not intended to be living space but only storage space where lights and two sockets are needed.

If not, how are these then installed? I want to avoid damaging the vapor barrier.

Make a hole, pass the cable through, tape it up.

Lowering the ceiling would also be an elegant solution. Then you also have space for spotlights and speakers, etc.

Lay empty conduits. And then have the rest done by the electrician.

It is about a light and a power outlet in the attic.

Sure. That’s why a conduit to the light outlet towards the control point and one or two conduits where the outlets are supposed to go.

The arbor is finished.
