I quickly learnt that you should always involve your landscape designer in the decision on where the house gets placed on the land. Even just a few meters can make a huge difference.

More Electricity Sockets (everywhere) especially in corners and in kitchen.

More topsoil before laying lawn....

AND

Checked the garden lights were actually connected somewhere so we could switch them on !!!!

Oh no, they didn't even bother to connect the garden lights up! Once again it seems to be the electricians causing most issues.

Go to your local PEA/MEA and ask them for the contact number for a real electrician.

Provincial Electricity Authority / Metropolitan Electricity Authority.

The guys that do all the mains and substations... All the properly qualified electrical engineers either work for them, or for the really big construction firms doing hotels, shopping centres, resorts etc.
