[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 543357, member: 6969"] I have some (only some) sympathy with the client in this case. If he is self building a house properly, then he will be aiming for a very high level of insulation and air tightness. Lets be fair, 99% of builders and sparkies know anything about that (think passive house) and will just rort a 20mm hole through the wall to an outside light, poke the cable through, job done. No it is not if he is aiming for an airtight build? So if he is detailing the cables through the wall to outside fittings in a way that meets his requirements and just leaving you to connect, then no problem. BUT in that case I would expect the client to be talking to you about the requirements, and with it being an "open ended" job I would not be doing it on a fixed price. [/QUOTE]
