The building warrant application specifies 17th edition and work done by a SELECT registered electrician.
But avoiding employing an outsider is not just to save the cost of wiring a 5 x4 metre box but all the finicky stuff of a lot of rewiring the reconfigured house.
And I have the help of a retired, time served spark.
So it goes against the grain to get involved with all the hassle of using a contractor.
I also assumed that wiring timber frame houses would be pretty common practice these days and didn't imagine building companies using anything other than 2.5 for wall sockets.
But clearly, it is back to the drawing board for me.
Thanks to everyone for their very informative input.
