This is the ideal. But I doubt whether many spec houses are so. More likely to be 1.5mm cable & a 15amp CB. The latter is a max of two double P.Pts on the one circuit. On the 20amp circuit, theoritically, you can have as many as you like.

In My time I would give the customer the choice. Cable cost would , or should, be the only difference in cost. I would limit the number on a circuit to SIX. The high use areas would be split. The kitchen, for instance, would have two circuits passing thro.Keeping the fridge on another lightly loaded circuit such as a bedroom one. PJ
