Hey folks,
Me and the wife are considering buying a new build house off-plan from one of the big developers.
Has anybody here had any experience with getting custom wiring installed during the build? I'd really like multiple ethernet runs to every room and the detached garage, as well as speaker cable runs for the lounge. I'd like all of these cables to be routed to the under stairs cupboard along with the main BT socket and 4 double sockets.
None of this is listed as an official option in their brochures. Is this something that they are likely to be able to do? They mention being able to inspect and take photos of the interior before the plasterboard is put up to get an idea of where the pipes and cables are. If they would be unwilling to add the cabling is there any possibility of them letting me loose for a couple of days to do it before the plasterboard is put in.
Just seems a terrible shame to watch them put all that nice neat plasterboard in for me to hack holes and channels in it as soon as I move in.

Will see if I can haggle it all in for free
