Job I've started today, its a big office just off parliament square London that's now being split in to two, new DB, sub meter, floor sockets and lighting being split to the new corresponding sides etc.

The landlord had a sparks in to change all the 600x600 fittings for led panels and add some extras in before the decision to split the office space in two. It's all been wired in flex slung across the metal grid ceiling including metal tiles, nearly every joint on every fitting has been twisted and taped up, connector strip everywhere, many of the cpc's haven't been connected and if they have it's because they've been used as a switch live, Covers left off accessories in the mains cupboard, the list goes on lol.

Typical rush, cowboy, butcher job that is, good luck with doing it properly mate rather you than me.
 
nah. a plumber would have wrapped the cables round the hot pipes.
 
HI,

What the hell is going on, can't people do a proper job these days; even DIY Dave could do a better job than that. I just get angry when I see something like that.

Regards.
 
No doubt this will sound silly. But i've lived a sheltered life. What is that on the top three breakers on the right hand side in the last photo.
 
Pretty poor - Shame of it is I have seen installs like this all over the country in the shop fitting game. It's not right and how it gets "passed" is a mystery...but there are lots in the commercial sector just like this....and worse lol.
