What are some electrical considerations I should consider when designing a commercial kitchen and laundry for a hotel? The space is 280 square meters (3000 square feet). We follow the British regulations in my country. How many socket outlets should I provide for the laundry section and kitchen section? Should they have RCD protection? Should I make provision only for ordinary 13A sockets or should I consider higher-rated sockets? Will the kitchen equipment, washers, and dryers be plugged into socket outlets, or do they need dedicated circuits run directly from the distribution board?
I can't list all the questions, but I need all the information on everything I should consider.
 
I believe the first consideration is what equipment will be installed and where will it be.
 
The client is yet to provide that information
Kind of hard to run a circuit to something you know nothing about. Need to know what will be there before you even begin to plan circuits as well as what capacity the main supply will need .
