Thanks for your reply. Great what you've done for your parents

thank you.. so far so good.. i am regret that do not hv 1 extra plug points for back lane cctv.. i have planned lighting, cny lantern point, cctv at front yard.. but back yard just added 1 street light only.. sometimes my mum might open the back door.. other than that, i think most of electrical plug points planning are good to go..


btw, my condo renovation also completed ady.. which handle by another contractor (ID+cabinets).. left out 1 thing that unable to complete in time before MCO.. kitchen sliding door.. i am much prefer modern design in my condo.. but their price is a lot higher..

bro, how is your house reno?

Yeah, I can see your point. A lot of people mentioned that once you finished planning the power points in your home, just add another 5% to 10% in case. You'll never have enough it seems. I fully intend to subscribe to this once I embark on my reno.

Do you have your condo reno thread here? And if not, why not?

My upcoming unit is a condo as well, so would love to get some inspiration and tips.

Quartz wont fade unless you use poorly made one and subject them to 24 hrs a day UV light.

Plug point is one of the major concern to me for any reno.. You need to think properly future usage and what item to use.. In my condo, just living hall+dining+walkway+kitchen, i think i got more than 20 plugs ady.. For CCTV, future PS5, woofer,robot cleaner, vacuum, my aquarium tanks, kitchen appliances, steamboat usage, massage chair, mobile charging station & etc.. even i have plug on my plaster ceiling corner for future 7.1ch sound system.. hahahahaha

No thread for condo as i am busy.. but i do have some photos about it.. if you like, i could pm you some photos about the output.. major works on wiring planning on condo living area, kitchen, dining.. including lighting points.. lastly, cabinet installed and my furniture placement only..

it might not correct to use faded.. but it looks dull compare to other area.. and that area mostly used to put hot "WOK" by my mum previously.. as that quartz stone are black crystal looks, quite easy to spot the difference between area A & B when close to it..

You have to be careful just adding plug points by serially connect them together instead of having most direct back to your ECB. I hope you are doing the latter. Most in order to save cost just extend the plug points from nearby point.

If you put heavy current sucking equipment (like cooling or heating type) you may end up with wires meltdown!

Don’t forget to add power point with usb as well. Save the other power points when you’re charging your phone & tablets. I added them in every room, living hall and kitchen area for convenience. Just carry you cable and devices from one room to another

yes.. some are direct back to ECB (kitchen appliances & new area for aquarium) some are pulling from existing plug points (TV area).. every plug points do serve its purpose during my planning.. also dig up big box to hide wiring conceal inside the wall from tv to cabinet.. as i dont have the back for tv.. as i leave it open as big as possible with bottom hanging drawer + tall cabinet at sides..

i think wiring planning is really important in renovation plan.. cause it need draw out the things and do the works first.. and we dont plan to go through all these dusty environment in future..

👍🏻 yes I add all the points I thought I needed (including CCTV and parking area for Karcher washer) but I didn't plan that the socket that I need to power my mesh router was covered by my built in bookshelf! All other nearby sockets are no good because my mesh router need to maintain "close" distance to my main mesh router!

yea i use mesh router as well. =) sub-mesh router can add in every room (but can add minimum model such as E4 just to get best signal reception.. so far my condo, 2 units are sufficient.. master bedroom at the last corner still could get 80% of speeds which i am satisfied.. maybe you could add nearby your office desk corner.. my case, second unit share with PC with LAN backhaul to my desktop pc..
