Browse Forums Home Theatre & Automation 1 May 08, 2011 12:54 am Hi Guys, need your help with this and we are building with Carlisle and it is in the wrapping stage now..plaster and bricklayinf still needs to be done and probably this will happen next week.. but the problem is when we just visited a home theatre shop today they mentioned that if we don't have speaker pre wiring it will cost us heaps to get it done after the hand over...but we haven't included this in our construction con contract and it is only projector pre wiring that we have included...what is your idea about this..?? I don't think that we can change it with Carlisle now since all the electrical wiring has been done by now and to get it done through an putside supplier, not sure whether the builder will allow anybody else to come in to the site during the building pweriod... I am any way going to ring my CLE on Monday but would like to hear your ideas about this as to the cost and effort to get this done after the handover..?? Thanks in advance..!! Re: Speaker Pre Wiring..?? 2May 08, 2011 1:03 am Ask your SS if you can run speaker wiring before the walls go up. Usually they'll let you do this. I know i'll be running heaps of speaker wiring everywhere including outside when my house starts building.

If you wait until the house is finished it is then not as easy to do the wiring and therefore it will cost more. Also, if it is a 2-storey house then there could very likely be some areas you will not be able to wire to at all after the house is finished.
