Put in as many power points as you can and TV points its cheap now than latter. I would also recomend you do a lot more planing before you even think about building a house.

Re: Things you forget 157Nov 13, 2010 5:57 pm With the electrical, i'd suggest also adding a conduit for whereever your foxtel is going. If it's on a cavity wall then they normally have no problem but if its not then it can be a pain. Add the conduit so they can run a TV and Phone cable down. The other thing, while wireless is OK nothing beats hard wired internet. Get CAT5 cables to all rooms that may need data points. Also, run 2 x data points from your main living area to all other areas that have a TV (so you can later introduce a LEAF video distribution system - or something like it). RE; the fridge tap - don't put the tap directly behind the fridge, put it inside the kitchen cupboards instead and just cut a hole for the water line later. Putting the tap and filter behind the fridge often won't let the fridge fit. Also, check measurements of your furniture etc.. (fridge is a good one) and make sure you allow 12mm for render on the walls AND make sure you allow for your floor coverings!! I've seen people have an 1800mm high fridge and look at the plans thinking it's OK, only to find they put plank on ply timber floors and the distance ended up being 1755 from the floor to the overhead cupboards. Re: Things you forget 159Nov 14, 2010 9:34 pm YBBroker - good point re tap behind fridge! Does anyone know how much space a tap will take up? We have a reasonable fridge space but I'd rather get it right before no more changes can be made to our plans!
