Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Coordinate comfort systems with the chosen insulation and ventilation provisions.
Decide this before construction
Assess the existing detail before selecting products. Then coordinate insulation, ventilation and visible finishes so one improvement does not create an unexamined consequence elsewhere.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep a record of the differences between existing and renewed details. Include product information and locations of components that must remain accessible.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on number of points, existing installation, cable routes and reinstatement. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for electrical installation work. Identify the elements that should remain.
