hmm, that's a wonderful suggestion but the wiring would be a bit difficult. we'll seek professional opinion on it.

The wiring is not difficult, the best way is to plan the wiring from the beginning and have a separate consumer unit for all the solar line, the wiring of lighting, socket on solar is the same way in normal PHCN/GEN, just make sure you have two sources of power(aolar and PHCN/gen) to all the solar distribution board from changeover switch by introducing bye-pass. when the inverter/solar is down you can easily change to PHCN/GEN.

Does that change you from being a Qauntity Surveyor to an Arcjhitect?
I know you closely as a good Surveyor.

Not showing clear identity of oneself won't make people and especially your Client to trust u.

Just saying#Let's take Note.

Engr topsy longest time, how work, you make a good schedule of the work.
But to buttress your shcduled.

*Plumbing and electrical pipe.
*Fixing of any wooden doors frame/complete iron doors.
*Plastring( this should be done but window edges should not be done at this time.)
*Fixing of casement window [( if fixing before this time some bad bricklayer will messed up with the window no matter protection you put in it (nylon) ....from experience,
*At this point you can plaster/dress your windows edges to received burglar bars (if done after burglar bars it will be difficult for the meason to get perfect edges)
*Burglar bars.
* Pop ceiling
* Then floor finishings (marble, terazzo,tiles etc).
* Fixing of wooden door leave.
