Electrical Works - Advise Needed

Hi All,

After going through dozens of packages and quotes, I got a bit fed up cos it is difficult comparing the quotes due to the different formats.

Usually, they like to take their standard package, and then add on whatever you require additionally.

I decided to combine all the quotes and do up a scope of work myself so that I can pluck their individual figures in for comparison, I think that its fairer. But I am stumped when it comes to electrical works. How to specify it?

Basically I need to rewire the whole house with new switch board. But when it comes to the individual points, like double sockets, lighting, aircon point, tele points, I get confused.

To summarise, I will be installing 2 instant heaters, 1 system-4 aircon, 4 ceiling fans, 1 cove lighting & maybe 4 down lights?, 10 ceiling lights including bathrooms & kitchen, 2 pendant lights. I will need wall sockets around the house. I dun intend to have house phone and my friend recommend me to run Cat5 cable to each room so that if wireless is weak, can install routers at each room (??). I will probably go for OpenNet but some quote me SCV points?
