Diy house rewire

[Harry Bloomfield]

The developers/builders probably did 'think' - about the cost of addressing those issues.

I seen recommendations, for minimum standards, for new builds. Home builders, do tend to do an absolute minimum, then they can charge more for extras. The OP has the opportunity, to design his installation, so it includes all the extras he could possibly need, at little extra cost to him. Just the cost of the materials needed.

Hit, nail and head springs to mind.

When I’m agreeing with customers the written spec for a rewire, I point out what things will be difficult, if not impossible later. Then leave them to think about it

Agreed.

Who mentioned inspections, not me?

The questions posed by the OP in post #1 essentially related to matter of inspections, certification and notification.

My point was that (sensible though they are) the non-safety-related (but BS7671-compliant) aspects of 'poor design' should not really have any impact on inspections, certifications or notification, should they?
