From a structural integrity standpoint, you don't need to worry about that. It might not be a masterpiece, but it will be covered, and in the end, when the invoice comes, it can be nice that it didn't take up an unnecessary amount of fine-tuning hours.

One can still not help but be amazed at what an electrician considers himself capable of doing without consulting someone who knows. Plumbers are also skilled at inappropriate hole drilling.

Thanks for the response. That sounds reassuring.

But I still have a few follow-up questions that are nagging at me. If additional studs up to the right outlet are equally excavated, is it still not a problem?

Placement on the house as below. Still not a problem?

Apologies for my ignorance.
 
  • Partially constructed wall with exposed wiring and plywood board in a house under renovation, showing electrical outlets and an open doorway.
  • Floor plan showing layout of house with kitchen, laundry, and bathroom areas. A section near the laundry room is highlighted in red.
  • Blueprint of upper floor plan with red circle highlighting an area near a bathroom.
I would rather say that the electrician has thought it through: no risks with nails being hit when putting up the cornice or door trim.
What would the alternative have been, really?

Of course, there is a limit to how much you can carve before it starts to matter, but with what you describe, I would remain calm. I would almost believe that the new plaster helps more than the carving damages.

I'm a bit curious about how they approached the studs; it looks like they just whipped around with the reciprocating saw or something.
