I don’t know what I’m more impressed with, the state of the electrics or a builder gets something right!
It’s impressive, what is it?
Looks like a call to the DNO is in order.

They pulled an outbuilding down , leaving the overheads hanging low & exposing that switch panel which had open connections at the back ....no idea what it was for .

That looks like a very old incomer,. those porcelain spacers you used to see them screwed to loft joists etc.
If it is still live (not a redundant old feed left in place) then I expect the DNO to be sending a bill to the builder.

After Dave’s post I’ve had a rethink, dangerous still remains but builder should’ve called you before? So builder is butt of his own doing. ?
It's that that made me suggest getting the DNO involved.
Those cleats are still used today but obviously now made of a hard plastic.
The porcelain “bobbin” insulators are way before my time.
