Can I get plans which show where wires/pipes etc are?

Am in a new build and was wondering whether this was something that was possible? Thanks

You can ask the developer, it would be purely at their discretion.

Well, it *should* be in the O&Ms, but they're rarely very accurate.

Ain't that the truth!

Reality On site:-

Sub-contractor supervisor:- "We can't install our service where drawn because a.n.other has blocked our route"
Main contractors project manager:- "will it fit over there? yes? do that then........."

Or even better, having the services we are contracted to install completely missed off the model by the MEP coordinators - red faces all round.

Accurate as-fitteds in a domestic?

Can't you just work it out from the fittings' locations?

Grenfell Tower... no one knows where the gas isolating valves are...

I know a plumber subcontracted to the service provider (Transco?), when I last spoke to him back in February of this year, they still had no idea where the isolating valves are.

If it's been built recently you should have been given a health and safety file with this sort of information. Its covered under the CDM regs. Well that's how the regs are meant to work!

Lol. Meanwhile back in the world of domestic home-building...

As Woody said - just look at sockets, switches and consumer unit and work it out.

We make a point to photograph chases, pre-plaster (electric, plumbing) particularly in kitchen zones etc.
