Hi all, I have already posted a similar question in another forum but I decided I'll ask here as well. I would like to get to know as much as I can about building houses and extensions etc. I am looking for the most comprehensive resources (mainly books) that are available on the market. I want to learn as much as I can from arriving on site and clearing the site, digging the foundations, the civils, the waste, the storm water, the water connections, pouring the foundations, the rising walls, floor slabs, blockwork, brickwork, dry lining, skimming, plastering, plumbing, electrical, joinery, roofing, and everything in between. Any recommendations?

Good evening all, After (too many) hours of research, we have finally decided to bite the bullet and allow for power and cat 6 to each window for electric blinds. Does anyone have a view on where the spur fuse box should sit? Should this be up high by the blind, or adjacent to the socket that we are taking pwoer from? Views as always greatly appreciated. Steve

Hey everyone, For new builds, did you always bring in an M&E engineer or did you just bring in a trade and talk them through what you want them to install? - I am building a 5 bed detached house around 500sqm. - I have previously managed all of this myself for a 400sqm conversion, but never done a ground up development and wondered if I should just bring in someone else to do this for me Thanks Chris

Although I've found lots of useful tidbits amongst the masses of information on these forums, I've searched high and low and can't find a central repository of 'electrical planning' hints, tips, brilliant ideas, pitfalls etc. Is there one on the forum somewhere? If not, can we start it right here? Standing by for an avalanche of brilliance from you BuildHubbers

I'm starting to consider where all the sockets, light switches and lfittings will go up in my soon to be started new build. Having looked on line I see a wide disparity in prices, this left me wondering if all electrical fittings are equal. Are some brands best given a miss and which ones would you add to your Best Buy list.
