Hi,
I'm slowly refurbing our house, pretty much a room at a time. I think I have thought of every eventuallity and therefore come up with the plan for which room and in which order.
The next main task is installing a new bathroom however before I can do the electrical work I need to replace the consumer unit as the existing one does not have RCD protection and as I understand it, the new bathroom will require RCD protection.
Each room is going to be rewired as we go so I need to inform LBC of the rewire as well as the installation of new bathroom.
I have been studying the IET Wiring Regs and looking at getting qualified to BS7671.
As part of the Wiring Regs I have to plan the rewire. What is the best way of documenting what I plan to do to ensure that I can demonstrate compliance and satisfy the Building Control Officer?
I am confident that I can design the electrical system correctly (I have put notes on the CAD plans in respect to bathroom zones and shaver sockets etc to hopeful demonstrate my understanding of the regs)
What would the BCO expect to see?
Tom
