Renovation electrical plan: prepare a code-compliant upgrade for a house or apartment

Start by surveying the existing setup

Before adding new equipment, identify the existing outlets, switches, light points, distribution board, dedicated inlets and any problem areas.

An annotated PDF plan lets you distinguish the existing setup, removals, moves and additions.

Define the new needs room by room

A renovation is the moment to adapt the home to current habits: more outlets in the living room, RJ45 in the main rooms, dedicated kitchen circuits, better-controlled lighting or smart-home equipment.

Group the needs by room to get a readable summary and make the quote easier.

• Living room: outlets, TV, RJ45, lighting.
• Kitchen: dedicated circuits and worktop areas.
• Bedrooms: outlets, RJ45, lighting controls.
• Bathroom: safety volumes and suitable equipment.

Anticipate NF C 15-100 without improvising

NF C 15-100 governs low-voltage electrical installations in dwellings. Notably, it sets rules for circuits, protections, bathroom volumes and minimum outlet counts.

The plan helps prepare compliance, but it does not replace the verification of sizing, protections and execution.
