RE: best method for cabling

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

As you say, conduit looks very ugly. I've recently (with the help of
several from this group) retrofitted CAT5 through most of a 90s, brick and
block house, with plasterboard walls. In bedrooms with fitted wardrobes,
we've allowed conduit to run down INSIDE the wardrobes.

When you say "brand new", do you mean "finished" or
"still partway through construction"?

Internally, we've dropped inside the stud walls as you say. Takes a bit of
fiddling on a retrofit, which is therefore much more labour-intensive -
should be much easier on a new build if you can get in at "first
fix" stage.

Couple of building terms:

- First fix: laying cables and pipes before walls get put up around
them
- Second fix: putting sockets, taps, etc onto cables and pipes once the
walls are up

Actually - thinking about it - James/Phil - do you have piccies of the
wiring in progress at my house... might be worth adding to my new website
;-)

What would be the best way to cable the entire house with the said
recommendations?

The job will be easier because the house is completely brand new. I
would
have liked the cable to be completely hidden, ie. inside studded walls
or
in channeling in the plaster.

I gues the most obvious way is to cable using a conduit or other
housing
but doesn't this look ugly?
