[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 300335, member: 250"] Stop and think of the actual process you have to go through to even just change a cord put switch.. Tools from van to room Back to van for steps/dust sheets or other bits you forgot the carry with you first time Find CU isolate power Remove old fitting Maybe make secure better fixing positions as old one naff Remove new item from packet open up fix and connect wires Carry out any relevant electrical tests.. (Earth con polarity bare minimum!!!!) Pack stuff back up.. p.s. during this process its up and down steps a few times even on a straight forward job its got to be 15 - 20 mins... Then start multiplying times for new accessory positions.. As NOZ said.. lining up so they dong look all like a spiders measure them. Plus multipliers for loft access etc.. I have a gut feeling some of your estimating of realistic times to do work are a tad on the short side! Speed up connections? I assume you are using Wago's? :popcorn [/QUOTE]
