[QUOTE="kme, post: 204005, member: 113"] Domestic environment, where first fix is completed, but the buider (who employs the sparx) has been getting greedy, and they`ve tossed `em out on completion of first fix.......... I don`t know who the sparx is (yet) ; but he`s going to have to co-sign for construction, AND sign for design. That could prove difficult: They`ve got 98 GU10 downlighters in the 2 storey property; Lighting appears to have been arranged in 2 radials (no paperwork provided) of 1.0mm. So issues with L1 are probably the least of the issues! (LEDs anyone?) Full refurb; but no smoke alarm wiring (?!?) - but he HAS installed 6 core alarm cable (customers don`t want an alarm, he told `em it HAD to go in on a refurb.) - they`re routed along with the LV wiring (so band segregation is going to be a difficult box to tick). CU is on an inside wall, meter in a cabinet outside. 16mm tails and 10mm EC, routed through the walls and ceiling!!!!! Rip THAT out & chuck some 25mm SWA in 1st job....... No dimmers in sight, 40-odd DSOs, HDMI, switching (2,3,4, grid, bobs-your-uncle etc.). I just hope he`s marked things up :red card I don`t particularly like the looks of the job, but I know the customers, and I NEED the work, TBH...... I`m suggesting the "other guy" provides the cert, and I`ll carefully sign my bits, after confirming exactly what I`m signing for. Your thoughts? [/QUOTE]
