We hired a reputable company to run cables and pipes for a kitchen move in our east Oslo apartment. I’m generally unhappy with the quality of the work despite it being expensive and from a reputable company. They’ve pushed back on making changes. I’m a foreigner so can’t tell if I’m expecting the wrong result or not. They also renovated our bathroom and did a good job with that work.
I feel like the cables should be buried in the wall or better concealed.
I understand cables on the exteriors of the walls on older buildings is more common here (it’s not where I come from), so I guess I don’t know exactly what it should look like when paying an electrician to come in.

Yes this looks normal.
You can’t run cables in the wall if the wall was not built with tubes for running cables in them.
Unless you want to pay an arm and a leg to redo the walls in order to put the cables in them.
I’d say it depends on what you agreed on in the work order. It will be impossible to bury the cables in the wall without removing the wooden paneling and gypsum walls, and they probably should have told you beforehand.
