Self build in Scotland on a budget

I doubt that exposed conduit will be cheap.  You need a good electrician to bend and thread galvanised conduit and get it looking sharp like that.  I am willing to bet that will hardly be any cheaper than conventional wiring in a service void then plasterboard.

For that budget you want to get the pre-build costs to a minimum.

 

It cost us in the region of £20k to a get all professional fees, insurance, warrant/planning, services and access installed.

 

Our site was on agricultural land so cost nothing but some legal fees, but we had to spend a bit more to make it a serviced site.

Or you just buy a set of benders and learn, I did that in Australia and soon had many contracts as I really loved bending the pipe to match the track alignment. I was bending multiple sweeping bends and after a while it’s just fun, simple bends like in the house photo would be easily mastered if your that way inclined.

It’s really cheap and you can buy the bent pieces at various angles.
