Renovation Pre-Wire Guide

How to think about electrical, data and future-ready wiring before walls and ceilings are closed.

The best time to wire is before the walls close

Renovations create a short window where better wiring can be installed neatly. Once plaster, cabinetry, tiling and flooring are complete, the same work can be harder and more expensive.

Power

Plan outlets around furniture, appliances, benches, desks and charging locations.

Lighting

Plan task, ambient, outdoor, sensor and feature lighting before switching is finalised.

Data and security

Allow for routers, access points, cameras, intercoms, alarms and equipment cabinets.

Pre-wire checklist

Need electrical work planned properly?
