Standard colours on plans for electrical stuff

[Pickled Onion]

I'm not sure why I'm asking this on a cycling forum...

My builder said I should mark up on the plans for the position of sockets, light switches, etc. and reeled off a list of standard colours to use. I can't remember them and my google-fu is failing to find what these are. Does anyone here know?

I'd give him a ring, as it sounds like he's trying to complicate things. As far as I know, there's a set of symbols, but they aren't coloured.

Whenever I've had an electrician wire up an extension, I just drew on the wall what I wanted.

Thanks, that makes sense and makes it a lot easier.

A lot of the walls don't exist yet...

I agree with AM. Never seen colours, inly symbols.

Why's he worrying about the electrics then ?

So he knows where to put the radiators?

He may have been referring to switching and colour of the lighting if you are having downlight/LED lighting installed. Just a thought.

I just checked my Understanding Plans and Building Designs book and there's nothing about specific colours for marking electrickery, just symbols.
