So as part of the new project, I'm trying to plan the "order of operations" (i.e what comes first).

To further complicate matters, the ceilings are already quite low - so putting conduit for electrical, then a layer of screed, then doing a separate screed layer for the underfloor heating would add a lot of thickness.

So my first idea is to run the electrical conduit in the same "layer" as the heating, but on the side (near the walls). That causes some routing issues around the doors - as I don't want the electrical conduit to run over/under the heating pipes... nor touch them.

Option 2 is to chase the walls, and run electrical in the walls - but again, doors cause issues. Not to mention the walls being of solid stone + 3-century old lime mortar.

Option 3 is to chase the exterior walls of the house, run the electrical conduit there, and then go into the house... which would be nasty af and not really up to code.

Then there's the whole issue of water/sanitary...

Thoughts or ideas?
