As far as the AC and alarm control, you're right, they can install a conduit in the wall to an empty wall box with a blank plate over the top. Its easier to patch over a wall box you dont want, than chasing in a cable later. The same goes for any tv, phone/data points you might want to add in, you dont want to be adding anything to internal walls afterwards. Thanks phonat. So multi-switches are the electricians concern and don't affect me so far as adding in something (like a junction box) at the builders stage? The only thing I need is the standard conduits/cabling to a blank plate to ensure these multi-switches can be setup in the future? Which probably means thinking hard about where you'll have multi switches anyway i guess... I'm meeting the hillstone lighting guy this weekend, so I'll checkout his light costs plus also see if I can get tips on the lighting placement. Didn't think about the tv/phone data points etc - assumedly these are light any electricals/conduits - get them in now and chased into the brickwork? Makes it hard predicting what tenants or others will want down the track. So once all completed how would one add in extra points? Or it would just be impossible/involve breaking into your wall and replastering, painting etc??
