Actually, my price was back in May 2021. The problem I face is the location. The moment they know the address, they have many reasons to raise the price.

Recently, I joined a facebook group (mainly for Mandarin users) and got a few electricians to quote me. The price per light point is only RM 65 - 75 per point and the 13A is only RM 100 per point for the current market price.

I am going to share the quality of the "Data Centre" electrician. He claimed that he has done several data centres. Contract signed is Cat6 wire. Get the foreign labour to lay Cat5e unbranded wire.

These are the quality of the "Data Centre" electrician, not mentioned the light, aircond and fan switches of my living room are put at car porch:

If you have ceiling in that room, then you can still do jointing on the pendant light point and use flexible to shift its location. else. then surface conduit, which will be ugly.
Pendant light point is placed next to the fan.


You have to ask him to give you CAT6, cos you paid for it. Doesnt matter if you dont need cat6 for cctv. You paid for it. Unless he gives you negative VO for the difference of cost.
Cat5e was used despite the contract and pricing is Cat6. Argument is I don't need Cat6 for CCTV. But, price is the same.


Lighting normally has no earthing, so it’s ok.
Because I said I will use LED light, no Earth line for the points.



Best not to run conduits in the screed or under tiles. Best to have top down approach. But since your slab already cast, why not run the points in the ceiling and hack the wall? unless no ceiling. Yes you can still do waterproofing. but it has to be below the conduits. meaning you still hav to lift the conduits to apply waterproofing, and once dry, then reinstall the conduits. so might as well run high level in the ceiling, and do new routes in the wall.
My requirement is concealed and this picture shows my bathroom. The network and 13A cables were put like this. Below the sinks. If he forgot to place the PVC conduit during casting of slab, he can hack. But, the electrician refused unless I paid VO price. Like this, can I do water proofing?


If it was a 4 way junction box that was cut to become a T, then he should just replace. If its a T junction box, and nothing was damaged, maybe he just put the paper there to provide friction against the nail. During casting there could be alot of vibration and that box could move. But who knows, need to be there to inspect the slab prior to casting.
For a 60 sen joint that was broken - would you replace a new one or tore a piece of paper and cover the hole?

All points are required to have an Earth. Whether it is used, or not, for the light fitting is not for the electrician to decide.

Again, you know if the fitting has an Earth terminal or not that you can say no need to run the Earth wire? ongss doesn't want a plaster ceiling, so it has to be a surface mounted LED fitting. From the images of the site, ongss has every right to be pissed off at the "electrician" for the shoddy, below par work.


You should be ashamed of yourself if you are anywhere close to the industry, and you should be demanding better service if you are the end user. Why are you trying to defend the sh!t work?

What else? You don't normally get into an accident, so no need to wear a seat belt?
