I asked for basic electrical plan for St Tropez 25 so I can plan additional lights and power points needed. Below is my mock up:
Top image is the basic plan, below is the one I adjusted. Not final as we still have the electricity appointment, but it gives me idea where I want things to be, e.g.
- At least 2 lights in each bedroom.
- 3 lights in master bed
- 4 lights in garage (per request from DH)
- Manhole in garage
- 6-8 lights in the living room alone due to increased space
- at least 3 lights in kitchen area
- 2 lights in dining area
- 2 lights in office area (cool lights, not warm lights)
- 3 lights for entry hallway
- 2 lights for bedroom hallway
- 4 lights in alfresco
- a ceiling fan in alfresco
- 1 power point for kitchen bench
- 1 power point in pantry
- lots of additional power point for theatre
- several data points including master bedroom, office and theater
- waterproof GPO in alfresco, and maybe one more outside for pool
- Some external lights - I want them to be censor lights.
Translating it into cost, I think we would need at least additional of:
This came up about $5,000+. Some items are not too important or might be cheaper to be sourced after, e.g. the stronger exhaust fan.
Then the additional security items:
This is additional $5K ish that is not included in electrical budget. I think we'd bust our budget!!
Can't wait until the actual appointment :) not sure I'm ready to see the cost though :p
