Moving electicity meter from stud wall to external wall

Hi I'm moving into a house in the next few weeks that requires a full rewire (job posted on site) but the fuse box & meter are mounted on a stud wall in the kitchen. The mention stud wall is going to be coming down to make a kitchen/diner so the fuse box and meter will need moving. I'd like to move the meter outside to an external wall close to where I'll also be putting a new gas meter. The question I have is should I have all this done prior to the rewire taking place or is it something that can be done as part of the rewire? I can't figure out how this would be done as the fuse box would need moving at the same time, wouldn't it? Also I'm pretty sure the answer to the following question is yes, but would it also be easier for the electrician for me to take down the stud walls I want to remove, prior to the rewire? This is my 1st house so any advice is appreciated. Thanks **Thanks for the responses, I'll have an electrician look at the rewire and then decide on which way round to do it then.
