Spacing between clusters of sockets and switches

[BigReno]

I've only ever seen gaps of about the depth of a back box so have been really surprised with what they've done but also the inconsistency.

All those photos are from the same job, in fact they are all in the same room!

The builder did the chasing in for the electrician. It looks absolutely awful and they're not even level or aligned. I'm being made to feel like I'm being picky!

I used these for standard white accessories. They are sized so the faceplates are just touching (not all faceplates are the same size) or there’s a decorative gap between them;

You’re the customer! Not being picky to have things level

But the issue of spacing should have arisen before plastering and decorating

Is this a rewire ?

As above the slightly uneven spacing could be due to crumbling plaster and issue with making good.

Lining up 3 single switch boxes in old crumbliest brickwork is quite the challenge but can be done...

The three double dimmer switches are in a brand new solid wall! The others are in brand new stud walls.
