Hi everyone,
I am in the middle of a house build (via a contractor). I was looking at the first fix wiring this morning and there are a few issues that I've seen that I'd appreciate some opinions on!
They are:
- power cables, tv wires and phone lines all bundled together throughout,
- the power cables aren't conduited and there don't seem to be any plans to do this (I read in an earlier post that insulation and cables shouldn't be in contact),
- holes drilled in the joists at ceiling level are not centred,
- some of the cabling for hanging lights doesn't seem securely fitted: could this be a problem down the line?
- the cabling for the electric gates is entering directly into a junction box in the living room, apparently it will then be linked up to the dist. box via other cabling. Is this standard practice?
Anyone's expertise in this area would help me greatly! Thank you.
