I just met with a plaster ceiling guy, and I asked him if he will be the one to do a cut out for lightings and bring down the wiring when doing the plaster ceiling, he say this is the job for electrician to do, I'm still waiting for a reply from my electrician but is this a normal procedure ? Do they normally don't include doing the cut out & pull out the wiring ?

plaster ceiling guy dont touch wiring,
if you engage a dispose ,dissamble and dump rubbish they will do everything

Electrician will cut the ceiling and pull the wirings. Ceiling fella only close it and touch up.

Need to do wiring first before putting on the plaster ceiling

Normally they have their own electrician working together.. try and ask him

The lighting points and wiring is all done, but plaster ceiling not yet, so does that mean after plaster ceiling is done, electrician will come back to cut a hole, pull out wiring, then i have to tell plaster ceiling guy to come back and touch up ?

Yes.

indon or bangla nowadays can do everything

and that is why electrician and plaster ceiling usually get combo ones so that they talk to each other and help touch up..

Top to bottom
Electric first, mark the location
Then plaster

Same as do electric first then tile

u do all the coordination yourself?
wiring tumbuk dinding also neeed coordinate with painting
carpentry also need extensive coordination with wiring
plumber and wiring and plasterceiling also (if you put pump and heater under roof and above plaster ceiling)
tile and concrete work also

big headache surely.... but if you enjoy it then ok, bcos own house

yes, thats what happen to me, even if they cut it will be shit, and they will nicely tell you, i only know how to do plaster not wiring

i did my house recently , they even moved the lighting holes and wrongly wired my ceiling fan after that. and my ceiling fan is shaking worse than before.

they had to cut mine since the holes already exist and i am reparing the ceiling not the wiring, or you can DIY, but it wont be pretty la

your quote not included the wiring?

Basically for my wiring and plaster ceiling, it's separate, I find my own electrician and own plaster ceiling guy, looking at the situation, is it better I let both of them meet and communicate ?

Ask plaster guy leave a light pencil mark on the ceiling where is the point. No need to let them talk

Electrician should be able to make holes without having to touch up anything. If they can't cut proper holes in plaster ceiling, or line up everything without marking on the ceiling, you have a lousy electrician.

The plaster ceiling fellow only has to make sure to install the fan hooks and pull the wire through the ceiling for the electrician. Make sure enough of the fan hook is protruding and the wire is below the ceiling level, otherwise the electrician will probably have to cut the ceiling which will require touch up.
