When you start your renovation, you'll probably need to have an idea of where you would like your electrics pretty early in your project. Not only will the electrician need to know for first fix, but your other trades will also need to know to plan around those spaces. You can't start plastering until mains are in place (even if they're not connecting to anything yet) or else you'll just end with holes in your new wall. Here's a list to give you a starter of the things you need to consider. You'll be super organised if you can provide your electrician with a plan and all the points you need marked up on each room.
