Thanks for another interesting video. And also good to see how new-build is put together. The foundation construction seems a clever idea. Also nice to see you using the steel blue Aussie workboots.
Fairplay Ryan you look well sponsored up now. unilite and Wiska doing bits. Good luck to you
good little apprentice you got there. looks like he's willing to learn which is the main thing. keep up the good work.
Yeah he’s not bad 😂. Thanks mate 👍🏻
I would be inclined to run an armoured under the floor void to the consumer unit, also as it's a new build are you putting in an EV point as you may want to consider running that under the floor too.
At least with it being a new wood framed you can see all the stud work and you're not penetrating vapour barriers, retro fitting is a pain in the ass.
I love these types of videos
20mm galv tube works well for the bar on the Jack's
Casper is doing an awesome job
Exactly the same as the houses on site. They were nice to wire but you got 350-400 to wire them on your own. Didn’t stay long
I would say , its better to drill at 4-5 Degrease so to make sure no moisture stays inside the wall . But video in general is very good
10:04 Thank you for this! As a new one month apprentice completely green on the tools, I've been stressing about finding a way to drill a hole like that for the wire to go through, I've been going at an angle, which I'm not very confident about doing, but I'll try this method next! Thanks! Any other tips ?
Poor Kacper, doing all the work and Ryan taking all the laurels as always loool
looks neat but watch out the plaster boarders don't put a screw through your cables because they're clipped to the stud instead of moveable in the studwork if you get what I mean
A screw could still damage cable if it is not clipped. If you want to be safe then run conduit in the walls. Then even if they manage to damage the cables you can easily replace them.
And guess what happens 😂 Actually it looks like a door frame fixing screw after watching this video.
@@colinhaggett That's hilarious hahaha
Eco joists of i joists or whatever they are called absolute dream to first fix!
Did a very similar new build plot must have been about 4 years ago 3 in a row and was a dream. Although the wanted extras afterwards and it was a chipboard glued floor 🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣
Mate Wiska chucking out North Face gear nice! Was expecting fruit of the loom 🤣
Fruit of the loom 😭😂😂😂

16:40-17:10
Outside light on the left didn’t look centre of the space!! Casper it wasn’t you 😂
Run cable for EV or put it in a draw wire to pull before floor laid I'd go under the house
The joists are called easy joists, I recently wired a factory in Rhyl, wales for a company called creating enterprises who manufactures these easy joists!
Metal webbed eco joists
You may want to look up zones bud, so may cables not in them!
I'm guessing there going to have underfloor heating. So it would be better to run the supply cable and the eV cable under the block and beam floor
Just wondering what size cables you used? did you have to take into consideration the thermal insulation?
Used to first fix three storey 5 bed houses in a day when house bashing. Long days
Jheeze that’s some going
15:50 - Would advise against multi tooling that triple stud without referencing structural drawings or speaking to the sites NHBC rep first. Anywhere you have a double or triple stud is usually structural, especially on these new flat pack timber frame houses
Artisan Electrics got absolutely blasted for butchering structural wood frame back in January. I really hope he placed elsewhere 😬😀
As long as you dont remove more than 20% of a joist. It wont impact the structural integrity. So you could notch a run upto 30mm on a 150mm joint or 20mm on a 100mm joist.
I'm long gone from houses but I used to find the work easy the problem is there's not much money in domestic so it's all go go go! or it's not worth your while.
Metal banding on wooden joists ?
More of how you do the jobs please.
Nice
Easy when you don't worry about the fact that we don't have current carrying capacities for cables in celotex I suppose!
Under the stairs isn't a place for a fuse board in my opinion great vidz tho keep them coming
Agreed. Very poor design and should not be located under a staircase, regardless of fire regs.
The cables running under the floor should be under the block and beam floor in a ducting . Above the block and beam floor they are sat under 125mm of insulation .
no they shouldn’t
@@herbz794 how would you do it ?
Why don’t you make up your wires in the switches and receptacles now instead of waiting until after plaster?
Easy joists make life so easy
You cannot bury tails in a wall, you cannot have tails longer than 3m. You should not put a additional isolated in the DNO meter box. You should get he builder to install an additional meter box and install a switchfuse with a 80a fuse.
I was literally about to say your apprentice Casper must be a baller wearing Tommy to work 🤣
Pay him too much don’t I 🙄😂
@@RDavisElectrical Clearly 🤣🤣🤣
I could cry I remember my days as on site electrician 1st fix to final fix even testing 😢 😪 I left my job behind due to child maintenance issues my ex killed my career
That happens to too many people, and it is wrong that someone’s career has to end because of this !
They should really make running ethernet cable (network) standard it's 2022 😂
You guys are professional unlike bundy!
He talks a good job, but it’s really not a good install
Plumbing or electrician which has the most opportunity?
As a complete novice, it would’ve been nice to see where the power comes into the house (junction box?) and where all the cables go to.
get a supply to outside meter box into a 100 amp fuse and run 25mm armoured cable over to supply board, usually do 25mm tails but over 3m run so against regs
@@xxhardnutsxx Holy moly, a house like this would have a 100A fuse? Is GB 110V or 220V (L/N)
@@AddictedToCocaCola 230v and on the main service head it would, then fuseboard understairs with your mcbs or rcbos n what not
@@xxhardnutsxx yea alright so 230V single phase
Makes more sense. You'd usually have 25/35A here but that's 3P
@@AddictedToCocaCola oh wow thats pretty cool, where abouts you located USA ?
Are your meter tails going to be more than 3 Mtrs?
I think they run armoured instead
Any work in your side
Hi mate, not sure if it was just me but I don't think the island circuit was run in zones?
No it wasn't.
Webbed joists
Sorry mate but as a 50 year JIB GOLD CARD APPROVED INDUSTRIAL SPARKS HOUSE BASHING IS NOT FOR ME,the bigger the job the better for me,biggest job I've been on was a recycling plant in Belvedere in Kent 1200 contractors on site
any work in your side
I am electrician I am Indian
25mm tails more then 3M😰?
Halo sair
The more I see, the worse it’s gets
Please make video in Hindi
Not interested in walk around only how you run and connections
Imagine you got kicked off the job at this point.
I'd bet the next electrician would be walking around saying how rough you were not clipping cables and leaving them hanging everywhere.
But obviously that would be unfair because you'd not finished yet.
Wow is that what houses are made of now chip board and hollow joists. That’s why I’ll never buy a new build
Those “hollow joists” are called Easi-joists and they are extremely strong and far less prone to warping or splitting than solid wood. The walls are probably made with SIPS which are a sandwich of OSB with expanded foam inside….hugely thermally efficient and, if properly installed and clad will last for centuries. This approach is fast, lightweight and durable as well as better for the environment….any other comments?
