Any sparkies on here? need to pick your brains
Discussion
HI
I am currently developing our house in Bristol. Its quite a big job and we are re-wiring the whole thing. Its 5 bed and 4 reception rooms with power to the outside for lighting and pool.
We are having lutron and crestron fitted and a complete rewire to include cat5 cabling as well. The lighting spec is quite comprehensive and includes lots of low wattage LEDs and spots etc rather than pendants, we have also gone for low wattage circuits in the bedrooms for table lamps etc. I have a quote from a local sparky to do the lot, but one of two people have told me that his quote seems pretty steep. Just wondering if any sparks on here have a rough guide as to what this job may cost.
...or is it a piece of string question.....

Who is supplying the Lutron (Homeworks?) kit?
If your custom installer is supplying then he should have an electrician who is familiar with the system, its not something that a lot of sparks are familiar with. It can be picked up fairly easily and shouldn't actually be any more difficult for any sparks than a normal wire.
Its a star wire to a central hub if its homeworks, so every circuit will need to be wired directly back to a central location so its more work than a standard wire as there are more wires involved. The control circuit is then daisychained around on Cat5e. Unless you're having Creston everywhere and there is the Crestron>Lutron interface to do the lighting from the Crestron controllers.

mainly lutron downstairs to the main reception rooms. Creston downstairs as well. conventional wiring to the rest of the house.
Most people are telling me 30-35k shold cover it, but my quote is higher....
they are familair with the systems as they have worked them before.
thanks for your reply, by the way
