It was a bit confusing.
If it was the floor waste, why would the SS have referred to 50mm when there was at least one other larger one already fitted? He would have to have known if only from experience.
Two or more floor wastes in the laundry?

Would the installer be able to work it out or should be set the wiring up now? The hard part is always having to think NOW about what you'll want LATER I'm not sure though that I understand your question fully though, what do you mean by "smart wiring" for the alfresco ? If you're thinking of controlling your sound system from the alfresco via C-Bus (or similar) then you're going to need control wire(s) from the alfresco to your hub area. You'll also going to want to run speaker wires from your sound source to your alfresco area. I'm not seeing ANY situation where it's going to be easier to install the required wires after building compared to installing them now ! So, definitely "Yes" in answer to your question, at a minimum run conduit in the walls (and for added points, stick a draw-string through it) in the wall cavity at least to the ceiling / attic area. Run 12 gauge speaker wire from the ceiling of your alfresco area to where you'll be having your sound source, if you don't get ripped off it's dirt cheap to buy good quality stuff.

I think we should bite the bullet and just do it now too. https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64434 Building our own custom design based on the Elwood by Dale Alcock Land settled - November Plans submitted to council - January Prestart - March Slab - 18 September Brickies - 23 October Re: Things you forget - summary page 27 616May 01, 2013 9:12 pm My DH agonised over a similar issue with future proofing for sounds systems. To wire or not to wire? In the end he just wired two adjoining rooms (surround sound in TV room which I might add rolling my eyes he still hasn't figured out how to operate!) and ceiling speakers in adjoining living room, all connected up to the same hub. But for the alfresco and other areas he chose wireless system called Sonos, which even I am loving. Oh that reminds me. Another do now not later idea - DH put a conduit in the wall where he wanted the wall mounted TV (with TV antenna positioned correctly). Tue conduit ran down the wall cavity and opened near the bottom at the skirting board. He runs all the cords down the conduit so when the TV is on the wall you don't see any ugly cords hanging on the nice clean walls. Maybe everyone does this already? I thought he was being anal, but actually I am really glad he thought ahead about this stuff now that we have moved in.
